All kinds of comments upon the alleged
petrifaction are passed. The point that
attracts the most attention is the teeth
of the alleged Viking In stone. They are
undoubtedly genuine.
There are, it Is said, few tolerably
we'll authenticated cases of the petrifac-
ton of human flesh on record One of
these alleged petrifaetions, said to be
genuine, is now being exhibited in Idaho
and Montana. 1t is said to have been
found in mineral spring In the yell

Reputable witnesses vouch for the story
that the body of wild BILL" otherwise
William +. Hickok, one Of the best
known scouts on the plains a quarter Of
century ago, was petrifed when ex-
humed and reinterred at Deadwood, s.
D., several years ago. Hickok was
murdered in that city in the early seven
ties by man named Jack Mccall. and
was buried In a grave through which, 1t
was afterwards found, a spring of min
eral water flowed,
On the other hand, fake" 'petrified
men" have for many years been common
in the United States and Europe. Nearly
every newspaper reader will remember
the "petrified man factory that was I'M
earthed by the officers of the law near
Fresno, Cal, few years ago. The pro-
prietors of the establishment turned out
the fossil men almost In BLOCKS of five,"
and did a thriving business until after
their methods were exposed.
Their fossils We're cast from concrete
and were finely finished and equipped
with genuine teeth and real hair. which
latter the crafty Snowman explained did
not decay and was not petrihed."
