A recent dispatch from River Falls,
Wis, says Coroner Allison, of that
place, has been placed in a peculiar
position by travelling Snowman, as
an effort is being made by many Of the
residents to force him to impanel a
jury and hold an inquest upon petri-
fed human body now being exhibited
there. Several days ago Henry Samp-
son came here, and after renting a
small hall placed on exhibition what
he claims as a petrified body. Sur
geons who have examined the curios
ity declare that it is what the show
man claims. The nody was found near
MariS ette three years ago, and until
recently had been on exhibition in the
east. 1t is that of the body Of we'll
developed man of middle age. He had
evidently been killed by Indians and
scalped. In the breast are two wounds,
either one OF which would have been
fatal. One of these has the appear
ance of having been made by outlet.
while the other looks as if it were
made with a knife. Two days after
the curiosity was placed on exhibition
the storm broke. A large number Of
citizens, headed by the church people.
made a formal protest against the
body, as they called it, being exposed
to public view, claiming that it was a
sacrilege to the dead. Another fac

BEATTYS PRAIRIE.
Said to Contain Rich Depos-
its of Lead Ore.

A romance OF long ago, uus uP
|. by Captain Pat Leddy, of this
city, bids fair to become a prac-
tical reality which will result IN
the enricbing Of that well known
miner and his associates in a new
company which has just been
formed in St. Louie to develop
what may prove to be valuable
tract of mineral land heretofore
passed by With Captain Leedy
is associated Bert W. Lyon, the
two composing the Lyon q Leedy
company, and q number of ST.
Louis investors and capitalists.
The land in question lies in the
north west corner Of Benton county,
Ark Ii is what is known as Beat
ty's prairie, and is a plateau rising
out OF the broken land of that
country. 1t is three miles from
the Missouri state line and three
miles from the line Of the Indian
Territory.
"In 1887 geological survey OF
this section of the country was
made by Professor Owen, under
the direction of the United States
government" said Mr.. Lyon, in
talking to reporter. "His report
was published the following
year by the government, 1898,
long before the time of even lead
mining in this district. Professor
Owen located Joplin, and by lati-
tude aud longitude exactly the
present sites of Gslena, Webb
City, CarterEille and GranbyA At
all of these places he predicted
that some day valuable lead de-
posts would be found. 1t has
come to pass exactley as be said.
In the same report Professor Owen
said that some day the richest lead
deposits in the world woCld be
found at Beatty's prairie, in Ben
ton county, Ark, locating the
place exactly by Latitude and lO1gi-
trde also.
captain Leedy ran onto the
report and decided 10 investigate
the matter some five months ago.
Since that time we have never let
il be koown that we considered
operating there, or that there we're
supposed lead deposits at that
place. Now, however, we have
the matter all closed up. We
have 15-year lease on all the
land, aggregating 1900 acres, and
have formed the company which
will go to prospecting there. Two
drill machines will be placed on
the land, and the company has set
aside 5000 for the purpose Of
prospecting.
During the war of the rebellion
the confederate soldiers used to
get lead for the manufacture Of
bullets from a well on what was
known as the Leonard farm on
