REMARKABLE FREAK OF NATURE

A most remarkable freak of nature, III
the shape of a three legged calf was to
be seen at Winnie 81 David's stables,
Yesterday. The animal is fourteen
months old, and was raised on the
ranch of James Cosser, situated four
miles south of Genoa, Douglas county.
:. J. Wilcox purchased the animal
from Mr.. Cosser, paying II sum OF
s.. COO. The animal has w fore legs
and but one hind leg. In other res
pects it is perfect. 1t looks as though
one of rs headquarters a been
cut from its body, and the indentations
and rugsedness of the flesh OF the
hind par OF the animal would lead
one to believe such to be the case;
but such a thing could not be possible;
several physicians in town examined
the calf and admit that 1t was born III
the above condition and Is, indeed, d
wonderful freak of nature. Mr.. VII
cox left last evening for Virginia with
his prize. where the animal Will De
placed on exhibition for Il snort llnle,
after which it Will be taken 10 the
Sacramento Fair, thence to san Fran
