Columbus Enquirer-S0: In the month
of March, 1892, there was born to a Russian
lady of high family one of the most extra
ordinary malformations ever known to the
civilized world. II was viewed with open
eyed wonder by the most learned medical
men of the time, and the newspapers of the
day filed column after column with de-
scrptions of it. Its formation was more
like the usual conception of the person of
the arch fiend himself than anything else.
A hdeous head, surmountei with horns
aud tusks protruding from its mouth, with
claws for hands, cloven hoo!s for feet and a
tail two feet long: it was a demon, in Iced,
in appearance. 1t lived three years and
five months, when it died, and was en-
balmed by the mummy process, known only
to the Egyptians, preserving 1T as perfectly
as life a Mr. Vance has the child now on
exhibition at Exposition park, where it is
viewed with awe and establishment by hum
dreds of people daily. DR.. j. w. Cameron
stated Yesterday that he had read much of
it in the medical Journals and upon eXami-
nation pronounced it in every respect as
repre- ented.
A erowd of half-grown youths attempted
to mob DR.. H. c. Cook at Atlanta Monday
night About o'clock DR.. Cook was sit
ting in his store at the corner of Decatur
and Moore streets, when Frank Minis, who
was charged with being implicated in the
killing of Amocous Chrstophne, and was
released from Jail Monday afternoon,
walked to the door and said: "Helo, Doc,
| will pay you that quarter owe you in a
few days" "All right, Frank" replied Dr.
Cook; II am glad to see you out" just
then six other boys came up, among whom
were LNn tdh anu IldtNoJ EDLdChIcihl u
Look" said Peak, 1--WE have sworn Minis
out of jail for killing old Chrlstophine, and
now We are going to send you after
the old Italian" why, what have
| done" asked DR.. Cook. "That
makes no difference" replied Peak; I'VE
are going to kill YOU" Eyes, kill toe -
- - -" put in Shacklsford. DR.
Cook replied: II don't reckon you boys
will mob me in my store" and he started
behind the counter. Shsckleford drew a
knife and Peak grabbed DR.. Cook by the
collar. The doctor picked up a small iron
weight and struck Peak on the head and
made him retreat few steps. Some of the
boys began TO crowd behind the counter
and DR.. Cook picked up five-shooter and
ordered them to leave the store. There was
danger in the doctors eyes. and the boys
went out into the street. DIR. Co TX,
fearing further trouble, and not wishing to
be forced to kill any of the boys,
closed up his store and went up Deca-
tur street The crowd of Youngsters
followed him, and DR.. Cook was forced to
go into grocery store for protection. The
police were informed of what had taken
place, and Patrolmen Starnes and Harper
arrested Frank Minis and Harvey Shac1le-
ford. and Patrolman Walton arrested Lon
Peak. DR.. Cook does not think Minis ad
anything to do with the attack. Minis is
about IA years of age, Peak is about IS and
Shackleford about Is.
