Ts the prevailing notion iri ill the mhd scientific world ig that the process of petrifaction except in certain springs possessing rare and very peculiar propertied requires an indefinite period of time for its iti accomplishment but this theory which has had some opponents is at length finally exploded by a circumstance which has ha staken taken place 0 i in n this office namely the petrifaction of a potato in the course of a year in the fall of last year several pieces of potato were accidentally thrown under the imposing stone in the typos types ottice office where they have remained ever simce no notice was taken of them until loday today today to io day when it was found that the tha process of petrifaction was going on being so perfect in some of the pieces that they had more the appearance of dark flint rock than anything eiso elso and required a smart blow from a hammer to bre break ak them this is a brief but truthful statement of facts if any feel disposed to doubt they can try the experiment for themselves A DA DANGEROUS Narmous CHARACTER A man named william killingly was brought before justice clinton yesterday yet erday afternoon for examination on two separate charges which were as follows for having on the night of saturday last entered the sitting room of the omaha house firing off his pistol there and using abusive language to tile the inmates and otherwise disturbing the peace the second charge was for immediately after leaving the upper part of the hotel entering the saloon in the basement of the omaha house where he called for liquor and when In informed farmed that it w was as n not nob ot kept on the premises he threatened the bar keeper A man named mckinnon who was in the saloon at the tho time remonstrated with him whereupon he beat him over the head with his pistol inflicting five wounds some of which aro are so severe that dr davis who was called in to attend him thinks his case critical and that it will require close attention to enable him to recover augustus johnson who was also in the saloon endeavored to induce the prisoner to desist when he be also was set upon and severely beaten the case was adjourned from yesterday afternoon till to dagand was in progress this afternoon when our reporter left the court room it is more than probable that killingly on the second charge at least will be handed handed over
