Brothers Break Legs

above the ankle at the same time
and in the same way. Both men
were thrown from their horses
while fox hunting in East Deer

horses slipped, sending both riders
off to meet the same fate. The
two men were taken to a doctors

Mahnomen Hans Braskob's

somewhat smaller they are distinct

are unusual, in that there are five
toes on each foot instead of the
usual three. Braskob thinks the
bird ought to be in a side show.
