A strange freak in the shape of a
four winged and four legged duck
ling is in a jar of alcohol on exhibi
ton at the general merchandise
store of NJ. V. Koontz, says a Hal
sey dispatch. The bird was hatch
ed on the Caleb Gray farm. near
Halsey. 1t lived but short time,
so never had use for it's ample sup
ply of wings, one pair of which ere
placed directly back of and overlap
ping the other. 1t body is some
longer than that of an ordinary
duck, so it would have needed it's
extra pair of legs in order to have
balanced itself properly when walk
ing, ehich it was said to do with
ease.
A story of fsrgetfulness that is
seldom equalled is reported from
Halsey to the effect that Mrs. En-
ma Allen of that place became
alarmed oy the presencs of several
suspicious looking strangers last
Saturday, and being a widow who
lives alone, and with a large sum of
money in the mouse, together with
some valuable jewelry, placed
money and jewelry in tin box and
deposited them in the frebox Of the
kitchen range. She forgot her fears
of the strange men with the coming
of dawn, likewise her wealth, and
built fire and got breakfast before
she remem bered. Her jewelry was
ruined. She declines to state what
condition she found it in or how
much money she had to burn.
