It's a Lizard? Or a Swift?
Has It , Heads? Or J Tails

The only liquid Otto Hagen and
Russell Reynolds were carrying
was the gasoline in the Coop
bulk truck, but they saw a two
headed lizard in the Wertisch
gravel pit near Bechyn Wednes-
day.
They chased the thing and it
leaped and jumped as only two
headed lizard could, until they
trampled one of the heads and
brought the thing, past all posi-
BILE human aid, to the Gazette Of
fee.
The only liquid the Gazette
force was carrying was the pres
.oiration on their brows, but they
agreed that it was two-headed
lizard. The society editor said
possibly Swift, but surely two
headed.
The girl reporter blanched but
conscientiously measured the rep
tile, noted its color and called in
Miss Hazel Myhre, high school
biology teacher, to classify it.
Egged on by Miss Lucille Stur-
4evant, Miss Myhre, always sus-
oicious of animal phenomena, pull
led at both heads to see if Hagen
and Reynolds were attempting a
hoax. The society editor shud-
dered.
Its a natural monstrosity,"
she decided .as she tugged at both
pair of feet The advertising
manager gulped.
The biology teacher began a
scientific search for pairs of eyes
in both heads. The girl reporter
clapped hand to mouth.
Hump, it's only a tail shaped
Ike a head" the pedagogue an
nounced when the hunt revealed
no optics. Then when the staff
expressed no desire to add it to
the office collection of things
lost and found she boxed the
lizard, calmly pocketed it, and
left.
