is traced by the fact that the bomb

Railways and telegraphs have Pene-

in the marvellous and substantial prog

The elimination of the professional

FOUR-HORNED SHEEP
Denver Times.

Perhaps one of the most peculiar
animals ever seen in this city is now on
exhibition at the Zoo menagerie, 1914
Chamboa street. 1t is a wild South
African sheep and was brought all the
way from the jungles of that country
by special agent of Mr.. Horn, propri-
etor of the Zoo In order to secure
the animal it was necessary to make a
trip of 5000 miles. Undaunted by
this Mr. Horn sent one of his employees
from this, city to get the animal. 1t
arrived in this city few days ago and
is-now on exhibition.
The sheep is the only one of its kind
in America. and is very rare. In looks
it resembles an ordinary sheep, with
the exception that it has four horns
instead of two. Two of the horns pro-
ject upward, while the others curve
downward.
During the past week Mr.. Horn has
received thirty-two letters from circus
owners who have heard of the remark
able animal, wanting to buy it and
offering exorbitant prices. but Mr..
Horn has steadfastly refused to sell. 6
The animal stands about four feet
high and has remarkably thick crop
of wool. Owing to its ferocious nature
it is necessary to keep it chained and
in a cage.
