D, July 13.—[Soeeial to Tue Ber, |—The roport camo to this place a fow days ago that a petrified man had been found near Wind cave, but it was thought to be a “fake” until a number of people went out yesterday to see it and found that it was afact. Oneof the parties who went out furnishos Lni Bee correspondent with the following: *It appears that while traversing the bank of the creck some parties saw what looked 10 o a fossil of some sort, similar tu those found in the Bad lands, and upon a closer examination taey saw that it was the shoul- der oz & man. They atence proceeded to ex- cavate and succecded In bringing to light the perfeot petrifaction wow to be seen at the cave, and which was purchased by Mr. Bronte. Tho specimen is probably that of a voung man from 25 to 30 years of age, well formed and fully developed physically, even to sex; in neight it is six feet one and one-half inches and belongs to the dolicephals or round-headed race of human beiags; the head 18 twenty-one and_three-quarter inches in (horizontal) circumference, and twenty- seven and one-halt i (vertical) circomfer- ence over the crown, cars and under the chin. The forensad recedes very much, which indicates low meutal ability, the nose i slightly aquiline and broad, the’ lips are ratuer thick, tiae chin and cheek bones aro well formed, the neck is sixteen inches in circumference, the chest thirty-five and three-quarter inches, tho hips thirty-cight and one-querter, the bicops thirteen and three-quarter inches, and length of arm from shoulder 1o elbow is sixteen and elbow t miadlo of digit 1s twenty and one- nalf, making the length of arm to thirty-six and one-half iucties. The hand is long” and narrrow and resembles a lady’s, the middlo digit is four and one-half inches long. The leg at its junction with the body is twonty- one and one-half inches, knea twolve, aund calf fifteen, the foot is ten and one-half long and ten and one-half in circumference. Other Genernl Features. “From the foregolng descrivtion it ap- pears that whoever hio may have been, ho was not accustomed to n laborious oceupation, Toat the foot, the left one (tho right one is gone about three inches above the nukle) must have worn 8 boot, as tho big toe is very much compressed inward, and the too nails prossed flat on thu top, the contrary to those wearing no boots. The loft arm 1s brought down the side with the hand rest- ing on the abdomen. The right arm has dis- appeared aoout throo inches from the shoul- der, and it cortainly appears to have been lost prior to intérment, for while the left hand is securely cemented to the body from the wrist to the finger ends, thero is 1ot the slightost traco of the right hand in any way having touched the trunk, now with the right foot it is the reverse, for thoe heels nave touchea each other, aod with tho ais- integration of time tho right heel has carriea with 1t a portion of the left on the extrome end. 'ho calves of tho legs are securoly cementod together. The lips and eyes ure closed, on the loft arm extending four inches above’ and thres inches below, is what appears tobo a tugoe scar, probably caused by an axo or cutiass, and under tho left ear is o small incision of an inch and . half long, which looks as if causod by a knife or dagger. Thoe skin is perfoct in its minute linos, and oxcept a fow pock murks probably caused by insects is absolutely perfect. It appears that the specimen is one of tho Anglo-Saxon race, as all the characteristics of an Indian are wantiog. Therecan be no doubt but it 15 ono of the most perfoct pot- rifactions ever discovered.” Itis on oxhi- bition at the cave. Ll MONEY WILL SOON COME.

Mr. Jewett of this gity is the Omuba man in the case, although tio says that ho has not been a member of the firm for six yoars, His uttorney introduced a motion to quash the indlctment on the ground that no sched- ule of rates had beon published by the railroads over which the ®00ds in question had been shinpad, and that, therefore, there ecould bs no viola- tion of the establishea rate, and that the in- dictment was, on that account, of no conse- quence or force. Judge Dundy said that he should like to know whethor that phase of the question had ever boen presentod to the court at St. Josoph, where the indictments wero found. If the original court in the case had ever passed ujon tho legality of the indictments that wouid sewtlo tho matter so far as the indictments wero concorned. 1f the Indict- ments wero all right he would proceed with tho bearing of the caso, if not it would be dismissed. The attorneys docided to wire the United States court at St. Josoph to ascertain if the question of the legality of the indiotments had ever beon argued from the standpoint here presented. In o case in which (George Smith of Kear- noy desired the court to set asido a salo under foreclosure of o valuablo farm neur Kearney, Judge Dundy decided to have the safe set aside, provided that tho vlaintift could give bonds guaranteeing that the farm should, when sold again, bring as much as it did when sold some weeks ago under tho decree of foreclosure. Smith claims, that the farm did not bring what it is worth, The case of the California Petroleum and Asphalt company against the eity of South Omana involving tho question of gettirg out an injunction to provent the oity council of South Omaha from interfering with the work of paving Twenty-fourth street, came up today in the United States court.

Jack K an Shows His Contempt for n #Street Work' Sentence, A counle of officers tho other night rounded up Jack Egan, a man to whom no species of law-breaking is unfamiliar. Half a dozen men testitied against bim in polics court. Ho wus sentenced to_twenty days at hord labor on the strects. Nothing else could be dono except to seud him to the county jail, which is no punishment at all. Ezan wout out with the chain gang, aud in a few hours dropped his hoe and waled away. In doing this he simply followed the examplo of all the toughs who haveany norve. The polico ars of the opinion that1f the object of the plan of working prisoners on the street is to get a faw alleys cleaned it is a partial success, for the unfortunate, spirit- less *‘drunks” never try to escape; if the object is the punishment of criminals it 1s a failure. Yesterday the matter was called to the attention of the chief of police, who issued an order that when prisoners escaped and wero rearrested thoy shall be contined in the solitary cell on bread and water for the bal- ance of their terms and in irovs for the eight hours when the other prisoners aro at work. The officer in charge 15 also instructed to work only five men at a timie, to call the roll every morning wheo they go out and to make a prompt report in writing of those who escape. This order will be read tothe mon in the morning before they are taken out and 1t is hoped will inspire some of them with a little more respect for their sentcnces. EIGHTH WARD RALLY.
