a FREAK OF NATURE.
Queer Animal or Fish in South pa.

Aberdeen, S. D., Jan. 10.-A freak OF
nature Is reported from Faulkton coun.
sty In the shape of two curious creatures
which were taken of the pond from
an artesian. Well OF the farm of Will
liam Lively. At first the creatures
might be mistaken for bullheadz. being
about b same color with heads simi-
lar In shape to those fish and with fish
eyes and mouth. But a closer In
spection revealed h presence OF four
legs with feet like those Of a frog.
Projecting upward and outward at.
the point where. the gills OF the fish,
would appear are three lobed triangular
sections of skin thickly covered on the
under side with innumerable hairlike
tubes from each side of which finer
tubes project, making the under part
of the lobes of skin look as though COW
cred with soft black moss or feathers.
Apparently the creature breathes
through these lobes. for when one OF
them was taken from the water he
lobes dried up and 1t died.
The tail. which is fully as long as
the body OF the freak, is thin and tap
ering, being only about q third OF an
inch wide at the end. The skin is dotted
with round black spots about 1915 of

steps were taken along this line, a
company being formed with a capital
of $3.50, 900, and the following officers
elected: +. G. Fischer. president; War

artesian flow is struck. a the company's
expense, to a sufficient depth to strike

theory that these exist be-

the pipe can be perforated at the level
of the artesian basin and the we'll put
to the use for which it was originally
intended.
This is a long step forward and means

Salem, S. d.. Jan. S.-There are ON
portions of Dawson county infested
with hog cholera of such virulent ma
ture that farmers are losing their en-
tire droves of stock. Down in Tobin
and Baker townships the disease is said
to have caused a total loss to the farm
ers. One farmer who had just rounded
up his drove and counted owe q hun
dred fine. fat pori.ers, arose morn
ing to find that half of them were dead
and the remainder died in q few days
The disease is not prevalent in all
parts of the county, but only in certain
localities.
Reports of a similar nature come
from all parts of the state. This means
hat hog cholera will cause a heavy
loss to many farmers and that those
who sold off their hogs early were the
lucky one
It is believed hat the disease is be-
ing carried around from one farm to
another by crows. There are many,
crows In the state this winter as
the weather has been mild and open
and the birds fly from one place to an
other, seeking grain and other food.
They may be seen in immense flocks
