A petr16ed man, from the Bad Lands
OF Dakota, has been on exhibition at the
Dime Museum during the week. There
have been many petrifed men exhibited
in this country, but for the most part
they have been the work of clever sculp-
tors in cahoots with fakirs. In this case,
however, there seems no room for doubt
as to the genuineness of the stony man.
He was found on the trail between
Deadwood and Pierre last September in
the bed of creek whose water possesses
the we'll known power of petrifaction.

we'll known piece Of sculpture "The Dy-
Ing Gladiator" The doctors have been
examining this 487 FOUNDER on their own
account, but the clippings of their CHS
els have only lent additional proof of the
figures genuineness. They have laid
bare his teeth by chipping away the up

affected by the petrifaction. 1t is DO.
lieved by the Dakotans who found the
figure or have looked into the case that
it is the stony remains of one of the ex-
plorers who wandered through the
Northwest in the early years of the CEN
fury under the leadership of Lewis and
Clarke. The strange find is now on it's
way to Chicago. John Comerford, of
Chippewa Falls, has charge of the petri-
fed Dakotian, and before reaching Chi
eago will place this wonder on exhibition
at Eau Claire, Ashland and Chippewa
Falls.
