; Barney Keating's farm north of town
has been regularly visited by his neigh
!. bors for miles around since it has been
learned that three-legged calf put in an
. appearance there a little over a week
ago. This freak of nature is just as live
ly as those which gambol around on four
legs and in all probability will have the
honor of travelling along with the side
. show of circus some day instead of
> ignobly winding up its career in a but
er shop. The calf is short one leg at
the rear end of its anatomy, the two in
. front being perfect in formation. In
. other respects the shape of the animals
. perfect.
