PETRIFIED HAM Is
POUND IN BAD LANDS

Rapid City, s. D., Dec. 20.-A.
A. Mallow, the Seventh street
market man, has on display at his
place Of business q curiosity that
is in his line, but at the same
time is a decided novelty. 1t is
a petrified ham.
The ham was found On the
old Big Foot trail near where it
crosses White River, by Lisle
bennett, q neighboring ranchman
to Mr.. Mallow.
The ham retains it's perfect
shape and in looking at it one cal
almost see the imprint of the Chi

shank is broken and there ap-
pears clearly defined the rind,
fat, meat and bone with it's mar
row, all hard az flint and per-
feet in appearance except as to
color, which is darker than the
appearance Of the original ham.
People who have viewed the
curiosity have expressed many
theories as to how the ham hap
pened to be found where it was,
Some doubtew admitting that the
object is a petrified something,
expressed the opinion that it is
more likely the tooth of some pre-
historic monster; possibly that
Of q dinosaur or On ichthyosaur,
than a ham.
The most PLAUSIBLE theory is
advanced by Mr.. Mallow him

INJUNCTION AGAINST MILL

Sioux Falls-Without doubt
the most unique injunction ever
issued in South Dakota or any
other northwestern state hag
been issued against the proprietor
of Towering mill at White
Lake. The mill is rushed with
orders and it appears that the
noise during the hours Of the
night has proven an annoyance te
the residents of the vicinity, and
they accordingly applied for and
secured an injunction. The pro-
prietor of the mill had to cancel
several orders because of the
injunction.

About ten days before Thanks
giving, D. H. Crary negotiated
a deal with a farmer whereby he
came into possession of a fine,
large turkey, one that had a
husky frame capable of carrying
more flesh than the farmer allow
ed to accumulate. In order to pro
perly fatten it for the festive oc-
casion, D. H. attached q string
to one of it's legs and turned it
loose in the Burlington freight
house where its appetite was
tempted by a liberal array of
corn and other delicacies of
which turkeys are said to be
fond.
When the time arrived for the
slaughter, the turkey was depriv-
ed Of it's head and after being
dressed was prepared for the
oven. Eventually it found it's
way to the Crary dinner table on
Thanksgiving day and the family
sat about waiting to begin the
attack, while the head of the
family welded the carving knife
and fork. Liberal portions were
passed around, but one taste was
enough. There was a group of
wry faces and disappointed ap.
petites. An investigation led to
the discovery of the fact that dur
ing his period of fattening in the
freight house, the turkey, al.
though he had taken on flesh by
feeding literally on corn, had
been going to a broken case OF
moth balls for dessert and had SC
saturated his hide with camphor
that his carcass went direct and
untouched from the table to the
garbage can.-Pioneer-T Times.
