While trapping in Ten Mile Creek,
near this city, recently, Lester Bates
caught a small animal which is a curl
osity-so much of a curiosity, in fact,
that it's species has not yet been de-
termined.
The strange catch is about four
inches long, has a snout resembling
the nose of pig tiny eyes and a small
mouth. It's front legs are something
like the legs of turtle, while its hind
legs are after the fashion of musk
rats legs. 1t has a tail about three
inches long. The body is covered
with fine, soft fur Mr.. Bates shipped
the animal to the museum at Madison

is generally preferable. because It can
