One of the most amusing incidents that has occurred in Phenix lately was an old drunk crying over the petrified man at the Commercial hotel Sunday. Some one had told the old fellow that the stone man favored him very much, and on making a vist to him he discovered the likeness and declared it to be a long lost brother. He visited the cold form again yesterday and indulged in some more tears. He says his brother was supposed to have been killed in the canyon in which this petrified man was found near Fresno, Cal.—Phenix Gazette.
