In TIE LEADER of yesterday appeared
an Associated Press dispatch about a
freak of nature in a family in Illinois,
where there are lour children, all Of whom
are deaf and dumb, Wyoming can show
another strange freak in the family of Mr..
4. A. Slack, of Red Buttes, Albany
county. In this family are five children,
four OF whom are deaf but not dumb.
They can speak some words, but cannot
hear any sound. Their power of speech
is growing less for want OF hearing to I'M
prove it. 1t is caused by some strange
influence, and not from any disease in the
family. There is no deafness among their
relatives, and it is not known that
their parents are related to each other,
and so this seems to be a very strange
freak of nature. They came from Colo
RADIO some time g and settled at Red
Buttes. Hon. Knight, Of the house of
representatives, and the door keeper, Mr..
Yelton, are well acquainted with this
family.
