C. w. SpeeIman Of Bnena
Vista Kept Remarkable
Animal for Three Years.
EXAMINATION BY PHYSICIANES.
TABLISHED TRUTH OF STORY.
Had Horns and Tail Like Cow But
other Characteristics We're
Like Deer.

The story recently published
in several newspapers through
out northern Minnesota to the
effect that an animal which ap-
parently was cross between a
COW and a deer had been seen by
a woods crew is substantiated by
J. W. Speelman of Buena Vista.
who is in the city today, and
who states that he raised such
an animal. o
''It was in the summer of 49,"
said Mr.. Speelman. 1.-THE COW
which I owned at Buena Vista
was allowed to run loose in the
woods and the next spring she
gave birth to a calf which re
sembled both a deer and q COW.
When the calf was about two
weeks old it could jump
higher than any full grown COW,
and at the age of a year no fence
in this part of the country could
confne it.
"The animal had a short, busy
tail and short horns. It's color
was red, and, unlike a deer, it
never changed it's red hue for the
blue summer coat. These char
acteristics are like a COW, but the
other characteristics were de.
cidedly deer-like.
1T had a slender body and
small legs and the general coun-
tour of the head, neck and body
left no doubt but that the animal
was a cross between COW and a
deer.
II was puzzled at the curious
animal, and, to satisfy myself as
to what it really was, called a Be-
midi physician who happened to
be at Buena Vista to the barn and
showed him the animal. After a
thorough examination he stated
that there was not the least doubt
that it was part deer and part
COW. ..-
1.-THE animal lived for three
years, when it broke it's leg &C.
cidentally and I was forced to
kill it. :"
