The Wonderful Freak That Is As
tonishing st. Paul Natives.
One OF the most wonderful freaks OF
nature the world has ever knowa is now
attracting attention in st. Paul, and Spo-
kane Falls figures as the central figure in
the phenomenon, says the Spokane Falls
RevieW.
1t is no less than horse that bears In its
left eye perfect picture OF the waterfall at
Spokane Falls. The eye has been seen and
examined by hundreds of persons, and
closely compared by them with photo
graphs and other pictures OF the Falls, and
no one has yet failed 10 pronounce it cor
rect picture.
In discussing the matter with q reporter
Mr.. Dillman said:
"Mr. Deakin sent the horse down to the
hotel where stopped in order that nigh
see him. The horse is white in color and
OF medium size. was somewhat sceptical
about the story until looked into the ami
malls left eye, when I beheld a perfect re
production of part of the falls Of the Spo-
kane River as true to life as the best photo
graphs.
"The part of the falls shown is from the
water works across to the mills. The island
on which the water works stand is also
shown. Tho picture is absolutely perfect
in every detail. The horse was sold in 81.
Paul with number Of other horses, and
the wonderful picture in his eye was not
discovered until after lie had passed into
the possession of Mr.. Deakin.
Hundreds Of people have viewed the
horse, and Mr.. Deakin has received an otter
OF 5000 for him, which he promptly re-
fused. He also received a hattering offer
to exhibit the animal in the principal towns
of Montana. No such phenomenon, or
whatever 1t may be called, was ever heard
of before, and the horse will prove great
