TWO LEGGED COLT
BORN NEAR HERE
PERFECT SPECIMEN OF ANIMAL
EXCEPT THAT FRONT MEN,
sERs ARE MISSING.

James Grant, farmer near this
city, was, until a few days ago, the
owner OF probably the only living two
legged colt in the world. The freak Of
nature was born Tuesday, June 10
and lived until Sunday, June Is. The
animal was a healthy looking speci
men OF a deep brown color and
weighed about 150.. pounds. The colt
was turned loose In the pasture and
was apparently doing nicely. On the
sixth day Of life 1t became entsngled
in some brush and threw itself about
in it's fright until 1t died.
The colt was born without the
slightest sign Of a fore leg. 1t soon
learned to walk about, much the same
as Kangaroo does, and managed to
get sustenance without apparently
any great trouble. The animal was do
ing 80 well Mr.. Grant thought 1t safe
to turn 1t into the pasture with the
other horses. 1t wandered off into
some brush where 1t met It's death
from floundering around. unable to
move safely.
Mr.. Grant sent the body to one Of
the local undertakers to be embalmed
and then sent it to Des MONIES, where
1t will be properly treated to preserve
it. DR.. A. L. Hoglund, a local
veterinarian, has purchased the
peculiar specimen and will receive 1t
from the taxidermist when 1t Is re-
turned to this city.
