THE BIRTH OF A HALF HUMAN AND
HALF COON CHILD.

THE BIRTH OF A HALF HUMAN AND
HALF COON CHILD.
KoKoMo, Ind, Jan. 23.-The Dis.
patch, of this city, publishes . highly
sensational article on the recent birth In
this county Of a well-devcloped, sharply
defined monstrosity, being half human
aud halt coon. The truth OF the state
mant Is vouched for by several OF the
best farmers In this county, who saw the
iasus naturn, and whose testimony can
not be impeachcd. AT the very urgent
request OF the parents Of the monstrosi-
", their names will, for the present, al
least, be withheld from publication.
About two weeks ago woman living
In Taylor township, this county, about
ave miles fiom Kokomo, became the
wsther of twins, one OF which was q
ell-developed boy aud the other hid
cous monster, half human and half coon.
The regularly y-formed child Is now liv-
ing, hut Its twin monstrosity lived only
few hours aher birth. Every one who
saw 1t al once remarked the striking re-
semblancc TO a coon, Its face was point
ed and looked like a cocnNs face. IL had
four feet, resembling claws, on which
were great sharp nails, II had q well
deiiued tail four inches long. |, had no
eyes, and It's arms and limbs looked like
the limbs Of the animal II - strikingly
rrscmbled. Its body, or trunk, alone
bore marks of human nature.
Our medical men are greatly excited
over the matter, and great public inter
est Is manifested In this rare and won
,iei i(il ffpak of nature, The theory that
human monstrnsities, embcdying mark
cd characi eristics Of the human and
brute creation, may result trnm fright or
strong mental aversion d the mother
during the period Of CESSATION, has re-
celvcd pretty strong proof in this case.
This remarkable phenomenon 10 account
ed for on these facts The husband has
followed 'coon-hunting for q livelihood
for years. His wife has always evinced
decided dislike for the business, and
pleaded In vain with her husband 10 give
il up altogether, Several months previ-
Gus 10 the birth vi the twins the husband
had hrough, home dead coon. which
almos, raraly sed The wife with morbid
fear and uncouQuerahle aversion. In the
lish, cf science aud medical history there
Is no,hine unreasonable or lncreditshle

TIE RACE.

This afternoon tue big race takes
Iplics On the track of the Driving
Park Association. Ever since the
trot was definitely arranged the
horses have been put under thorough
and constant training, which will In
sure, making allowances for all un-
forseen circumstances, as good time
az the hackers OF the animals can
hope for. OF "CounIryman," moth
ing need be said; he has reputation
for trustworthyness that Eas always
made him fayorite, and always will,
while he has good speed in him, and
in this race it is thought he Will do
as well as he ever did, aud perhaps
improve on his record. Mary
Emory" has trOlted on one or two
occasions, and has shown speed that
has secured her many ardent back
ers who are willing to put her against
anything the territory can produce.
"Majo. King" tle Ogden horse,
Though not a stranger, Is not very
we'll known. His Ogden friends are
betting on him freely, and such as
are not willing to risk money on him
do not refrain from doing so
because he lacks speed, bat
because they say lie some
times gets Of HE feet. and Is then
difficult to manage. II Country
man" ia behind in speed, bis stesdi-
ness makes up for every disadvantage,
and it would be difficult to imagine
a more evenly contested match, and
one that would occasion greater in
terest 10 local horseman. The fame
and merits of each animal has been
discussed and advocated for some
time, and as the present race will
settle these questions, it is another
source OF interest. There will, in all
probability, be large crowd In at
tendance. Each horse Is backed with
5000, making a purse of 5000 in all,
and to which the Driving Park Asso-
citation adds q purse OF $50.
To prevent confusion at the track
this afternoon, the east gate only,
will be used as an entrance, and full
corps of police will be on the ground
to assign vehicles positions, so that
all will be given the best possible
chance to see. The police are in
structed to arrest, as treapssseTs, ell
parties Who climb on the fence, and
an extra force has been engaged to
prevent this nuisance.
The new rules of the National
Trotting Association provide that
judges only shall occupy the stand
This is quoted for the benefit of those
presumptlous individuals who always
intrude TO the stand on race days.
The timers will occupy the lower
part of the stand. with the secretary
and managing officers of the rase.
The aforementioned requirements
will be enforced to the letter, and
the public will govern themselves
accordingly.
The horses will be called at 2 80
O'Clock and started promptly at 8,
whether the public are on the grounds
or not.

Provo CRY. June II. 1880

Provo CITY, June II, 1880.
Editors Herald:
1t is truly astonishing to notice thI
large amount of work that has beer
accomplished within the last twc
months. The farmers have under
taken to cultivate more acres of land
than any previous year. This has
made new water bitches necessary,
and old oaes have been repaired; the
roads have received the usual atten.
ton and every moment of time has
been utilized. The cattle on the
range apparently enjoy toe genial
influence Of their surroundings, and
the faces of the people we meet
everywhere bear evidence of satisfac-
ton aud hope. Never before have
we had so fair prospect for an
abundant harvest.
There is no sigu of anybody be
coming insane, and even If we do not
get the asylum, we shall still ;hink
this is the best place for it-near the
centre of Utah Valley, Utah County,
Utah Territory, and near the Utah
Lake. The hberslity of the GERALD
IN publishing The communications OF
those entertaining opposite yiews on
this subject, has called forth words of
admiration from some of our leading
citizens.
The building SEASON has fairly
commenced and quite number OF
fine dwelling houses are in course OF
erection; some that were commenced
in former years are being finished,
reprinted, etc.
President David John ia having the
two yerandas TO his residence on
Main street completed. This is one
OF the most commodious, the finest in
appearance and the best location of
any residence in this city. There is
no sign OF our new theatre being
built this summer, and it is TO be
regretted that We did not commence
the construction while We were doing
the wind work so thoroughly.
Our southern suburb, Spriugville.
Is 10 nave new city hall, which &C
cording to the drawings in the Office
of James @. Snyder, the architect,
will be 36xby G6 feet on the ground
and two stories high. The first floor
will be divided into rooms for offices,
council room, etc, with few cells in
one corner for the safe keeping OF
prisoners. The upper story will be
fitted up with a stage and seats suit
abls for a theatre, lectures, etc.

and the prospect is good for plenty of
lumber for building purposes. Re-
