EXHIBIT PETRlFIED MAN.
Freak From Bad Lands of South Da
kota at ST. Louis.

Miller, s. d., Feb. NV. L. Fenton,
Arthur Palmer and A. S. Clouse prom
Use to have an unusual and unique rep
resentation at the fair in ST. Louis, that
of petrified man. This petrifaction
is five feet ten inches in length and
covered In the Bad Lands of South Da-
kota by a couple of cowboys in 1892,
twelve years ago. They were following
a trail in search of water, which led
to a small stream, which was almost
dry, SO hot had the weather become.
As they knelt down to quench their
parched lips to their amazement and
horror only few feet away appeared
the leg of man. Upon close observa-
ton they discovered it was as hard as
stone, and not being able to move it
with their hands, spades We're pro-
cured and soon the job of unaarthing of
what afterwards proved to be the Won
der of the age, a human being turned to
stone, began. 1t is supposed that this
man some years before had come to
this stream and was either poisoned
by the water or foully dealth with.
That the body remained and the water
and sands of that region washing over
the remains had produced petrifaction.
Since this discovery attempts have
been made to produce and manufacture
"petrfied men," but the fraud is hope
lessly observant when comparison is
made with this one, and many OF the
leading physicians and scientists of the
country have pronounced under their
own signature this petrifaction to be
genuine beyond question, and the mar
vel of the century. The owners start
April 1 overland for st. Louis, giving
exhibitions as they go, arriving there
in ample time to prepare for their mid
way wonder before the opening of the
fair.
