Last week. says the Pawnee Republican, w.
C. Lane purchased of James H. Bray COW,
for which he paid $50 The day after the pur-
chase the COW gave birth to a calf without q
single hair upon its body. The skin of the
calf is as tender and soft as that of child at
birth, and there are no indications that it will
ever be anything else than perfectly hairless
animal. This is the second birth of the kind
that has happened in this county-the first
one occurring near Table Rock few years
ago. Hundreds of our people have called to
see the curiosity and all agree that it is a very
strange sight We hope the calf will live and
be a source of great profit to its owner.
