COLT WITH TWO LEGS.
A Freak Of Nature on a Farm Near
Independence.


Waterloo, July Roy Shoemaker
was at independence Saturday and Wis
tied the Glenny farm about two miles
west of that city, where strange freak
of nature may be seen. 1t is mon
strosity in the shape of colt formed
partially like a man, in that it has
but two legs. The colt is apparently
healthy and gives promise of living
a long time 1t is three weeks old.
Those who have seen this queer
freak of nature bring the most wonder
full stories of the impression it makes
lying almost helpless. There are no
evidences of front legs the body being
smooth where the front pair Of legs
ought to be. 1t tapers down from the
neck like giraffe. AT first the colt
could not stand, could not even move
to any extent. But it has been handled
by Mr.. Glenny until now it displays
some strength and some equipose on
its single pair of legs. The muscles of
the limbs are gaining strength to do
double duty in sustaining the weight
of the entire body. There is every
prospect now that the colt will be able
to maintain it's equilibrium on it's hind
legs. and be able to walk upright like
q man.
The animal. when born. was rather
puny, but it has developed rapidly and
eats rayenously. 1t can not see very
well, one eye being without a pupil
and one with the pupil enlarged How
ever. the monstrosity is not entirely
blind.

Grand Junction. July 7.-Grand
Junction at this time is having a real
sensation, in which number of we'll
known people are involved.
Ever since the editor of the Grand
Junction Headlight, Mr.. George w De-
Valid, wrote up the account of the sui
eide of Mrs. f. F. Luther, trouble has
been going on. In Mr.. DeWald's ac-
count of the affair, ne spoke of Mr..
Luthers actions, and stated that they
We're probably the cause of her death.
In the write up mention was made of
sesing Mr.. Luther in Des Moines at
the auctioneer's convention with Miss
Daisy McDermott, who is well known
in this city, Ogden, Carroll, Boone and
Des Moines.
Mr.. Luther took exceptions to the ar
ticle, as did Daisy McDermott. Daisy
prepared all affidavit and published it
in the Grand Junction Globe, a rival
paper This affidavit seriously at
tackled the character of the editor Of
the Grand Junction Headlight. Mr. De-
VALID in his last issue came back at
Daisy With a long article telling her
what she was and asking her to prove
her assertions, with the third witness
who was standing in the next room"
So far Daisy has not brought the proof
to light.

Clinton, July Miss Margaret Ga
vim. daughter of Mrs. d. Verfaillie, OF
Commanche, committed suicide by taxi
ing strychnine yesterday. The daugh-
ter came to Clinton Saturday to spend
the Fourth and was the guest of her
sister, Ella Gavin, who is employed in
the city. The parents gave the girl
orders TO return Saturday, and the sister
in Clinton desired Margaret to do SO,
but the girl wanted to stay so badly,
that her sister finally consented.
She rturned to her home about one
mile north of Cammanche, Sunday at
about IL o'clock, and it seems that the
child, who is only IA years of age, re-
ceived. quite an upbraiding from her
mother for having remained in Clinton
against her orders. The girl possessed
a quick temper and always resented a
scolding from her parents. 1t is thought
that she brooded over the happenings
of the previous day to such an extent
after she went to bed that she conclud-
ed to end her existence.
At about 1880 o'clock yesterday NOR
ming. after the family had finished
breakfast. the girl as usual started to
the pasture with the cows, and it is
thought that as she left the house she
took a bottle from shelf which she
passed. and drank the contents, which
was quite large amount of strych-
nine. In short time after the girl
left the house she was found in con-
Vulsions by section men on the d. r. I.
& NV. road. She implored them to
ct the train run over her. but part of
them took her to her home and the
others went to Commanche and notified
Dr.. Chenowith who fastened to the
house. He was too late, however, to
10 any good.
