While Wapello county cannot in any
sense Of the word be considered as a
freak county, there still remains the
fact that numerous freaks come TO
the county, and a notable one occa-
sionally breaks into print. Happily
this condition Is limited to the animal
and fowl kingdom, and human nature,
with the numerous Ills 1t falls heir
to, is not figuring in the freahish lime

Some time since, an Ottumwa mar

her part, soon stepped IN the freakisll

Double Calf.
The news of the strange appearance
OF the animal soon attracted the
neighbors, who came to see the odd
looking calf. When the curiosity Of
the spectators vas finally satisfied
they realized that they beheld a dou-
BILE calf. The animal was to all APP
pearance a normal calf from the shout

Another distinct animal grew from
the left side of the calf and was pos.
sessed of four feet, a tail and all the
natural endowments OF the bovine ex.
cept head and neck. The forelegs,
however, were freakish, being COM
posed Of two distinct leg bones that
had but one covering Of skin from the
body to the hoofs where they were
separated and branched out fork like.
This strange beast was taken Sat.
urday afternoon to Eddyyille, where a
carnival company were showing, and
they placed the animal or exhibition
for awhile in the afternoon and made
quite a hit, but did not take the AMI.

STATE FIELD MEET.
O.kaloosa Wins Place in high
School Athletics.

Oskaloosa made showing at the
state high school field meet at Iowa
City Saturday afternoon, winning
seventh place in the finals with two
points. 0'Brien made good race in
the preliminary 22O yard dash and
qualified in the semi-finals, but was
unable to enter the finals. The 220
and 1O0-yard dashes were about the
fastest races ever pulled off at a
high school field meet in this state
and the latter was run in10.1 seconds.
Oskaloosa took third place in the half
mile relay race, which gave them
their two points and place among
the seven best schools at the meet.
The personnel of the local team who
we're entered in the meet is, O'Brien,
Bonebrake, Madison, Woodruff, Has
sci Hedge, Harry Hedge, Abrams and
Fairall The boys did not win the
points they had hoped for but, con
sidering the fast competition they
had to meet, the results were quite
gratifying. The annual meet of the
state high school athletic assocla-
ton will be held in Des Moines next
Friday, but no team will be sent from
here.
