TURNED INTO STONE.
Petrifaction of the Remains OF a
Half-Breed Woman.

Special to the Globe.
: WINNIPEG, Man.. Jan. IA remark
able case of petrifaction has just come
to light. Sixteen years ago half-breed
named Rolade buried his wife twenty
miles from this city. A few days ago
he, with some friends, exhumed the re-
mains, intending to convey them to an
other burying-place. Upon opening
the coffin the body was found to be per-
fectly preserved, the eyes and mouth
being partly open and the hair quite
black and natural. An attempt being
made to lift the remains, it was found
quite impossible, as they were COM
pletely petrifed. An examination
showed that a small spring OF alkali
water had been running through the
coffin, and the action of the water on
the remains caused petrifaction. As
sistance was procured and the remains
were raised to the surface and brought
to this city, where they were weighed.
The weight was found to be 700 pounds.
A knowledge of the discovery coming
to the ears of member OF the historical
society. communication was sent to
American museums. and several offers
have already been received for the
curiosity.

Inveigled Into a Trap Set by
Mayor Roche. y
CHICAGO. Jan. 17.-The Times to-
morrow will say that within the past
week it has been promised, on behalf of
Mayor Roche, that he would dismiss
from office for corruption and dis
honesty. Inspector B0nfield and Captain
Setback. the two police officers so
widely known through their connection
with the Haymarket riot and the hang
ing OF the anarchists. This announce
ment is made in reply to a. pro-
position sent this afternoon from Mayor
Roche to j. j. West, proprietor OF the
Times, asking that all the evidence
against the police officials be submitted
to three well-known citizens named, the
purpose stated by the mayor being to de-
termine whether the Times demand for
an immediate suspension of the ac-
cused should be acceded to
pending a trial Of the matter
in court. The Times answer,
to be published tomorrow, is that
sufficient sworn proof against the police
officials was some days ago submitted
to the mayors intimate associates and
representatives, and that the Times was
tnereupOn repeatedly assured OF the
discharge of Bonfield and Schaack
forthwith. Having gone to such length
in the public interest, the Times will
not now, it says, be lnveigled on any
subterfuge whatever into prematurely
exposing certain proofs necessary TO the
proper defense Of the SS00.0O0 of libel
suits and other legal proceedings against
the paper. That evidence, the Times
says, should not now be furnished to
anybody not empowered by law to pun
ish crime. The paper is not yet
through, however, with its eXtraor
dinary disclosures, Mr.. Vests reply
promising ''to continue to present to the
public additional evidence rejecting
upon the integrity not only of the Off
Gals mentioned. but of others"

trict court finally succeeded to-day in
getting jury to try Murderer Brown.

was under the influence of liquor when
the deed was committed; that he did
not intend to kill PAUL; he thought it
was Benson, the Fargo policeman, he
fired at. and only did it SO to frighten
him and evade arrest. Browns attOr-
