Stone Age Battle Axe

Last Thursday, Ezra Webb, one of Hurst’s employees at the Pinhook Lime Works, 
while working in the quarry found a very fine relic of the stone age-a stone 
battle axe, made from dark granite and very perfect. It had worked down with 
the dirt from the top of the bluff. Professor Ellis heard of the find, and the 
next morning it found a place in the Ellisonian Institute at 118 South Second 
street in Maquoketa.
