Story of Kansas Mans Remarkable
discovery Told by O. Broad
head, st. Louis Salesman.
CHANGE WROUGHT IN DAKOTA.
j. y. RickIes Found the Corpse
Turned To Stone When II Was
EXhumrd and Has Had 1t
at His Home Ever Since.

Overton Broadhead. travelling salesman
for a St. Louis wholesale varnish company.
is AT his home in Clayton for a hrief vsca-
ticn. Meantime he is relating 10 his friends
what he considers a somewhat crewSoIne
and unique experience that he had recent
ly while visiting a customer in Canute.
kas
The customer, Mr.. ]. \. RicklCs, is the
proprietor of a carriage establishment at
that place. While talking shop Ia him. Mrs
Rickl.s came Into her husbands office and
was introduced to Mr.. Broadhead by
Rickies
This is my wife-that is, one of my
wiv.s,' he said. she is wife No = Ny
first wife is over there in the corner
Mr.. Broadhead considered the remark
most unusual one. Noticing his rerplexity
Mr.. Rickles volunteered to explain. He led
the salesman to a pine box in one corner of
his establishment Lifting a lid of the box
he displayed TO the astonished salesman the
form of II petrified woman. The form was
perfect ana the features almost natural
as one could expect to see in life.
Mr.. Broadhcad saws that Rickles OK
planned to him that his first wife had died
nearly quarter of Il century ago, while
he was living in what Is known as the bad
Lands In North Dakota. Several years
later he had the body exhumed for removal
and found that II had turned to stone He
then concluded TO keep IL in his possession
and since then has taken the body with
him wherever he went. In this instance
Mrs. Rickles No. is not the least bit
Jealous Of having Airs. Rickles No. In the
mousse.
The petrifsction was brought about, ac-
cording 10 the explanation given Mr..
Broadhead. by the famous Milk River that
runs through the Bad Lands of North
Dakota. once a year the river nverfiows
its banks and floods the country for miles
around. The nature of the soil Is such
that II abs0rhs the water and produces
of any organic matter which il
may contain.
Mr.. Broadhead says the people of Canute
do lot seem 10 regard the matter with any
particular interest. while Mr.. Rickles thinks
II the most natural thing in the world that
he should want TO have the pe-rited body of
his first wife as near him rs possible.
