The bison question, tested on the record

Tested, county frame

The signature vanished animal was tested, and the evidence that survives sits on county ground, not town ground. The South Bend build tested the bison question on two named pieces of evidence: the Parkovash — buffalo on the river — and the ox-head of Portage Prairie, a head of monstrous size that also gives the weird-facts leg its naming oddity. Both belong to the St. Joseph River and Portage Prairie ground north of here. For Liberty Township and the Potato Creek valley specifically, no bison bone, bison report or bison place-name was found in any carrier reached. The township line therefore prints as no evidence found, inside a county record where the question was at least arguable on named evidence. No bison is claimed for this ground, and the county evidence is not borrowed to make the town's record larger than it is.
