Freak Chicken is the
Cause Of More Talk

Harry Albers, Tweny.second and
Dakota avenue, springs into the lime
light with freak chicken that was
hatched a few days ago. The chick
has four perfectly formed legs and Is
normal in other respects. It has
little trouble in walking, but with a
little practice, the bird is expected to
qualify to enter a marathon race.
Just to keep in the game J. R. Gala
ham reports that he has a bird that isi
cross between a thoroughbred wy.
andotte and a Guinea. while W G.
Armstrong goes to bat with the dec
laration that he has chicken that
sings like a canary bird. IT Is believed
to be the intention Of the ehickaaha
promoters to produce an aggregation
Of monstrosities that will rival the col
lection Of the late MIR. Barnum.
