cow, gathered near the Nugge*
Service Station Sunday noon lo
hike a look at “Jumbo”, the only
living male of the species in Ihe
world, and lo ask L. C. Wilson, his
owner, questions, which Ihe latter
unhesitantly answered.
Wilson, driving Hie “Catalo", as
Ihe animal is named, travels in a
covered two-wheeled sulkey, has
been on Ihe road five months,
having lef* Grandview Ranch In
Colville, Wash., last September. He
slated Sunday that his ambition is
to reach Chicago in time for the
World's fai' which shirts in June
this year.
The odd animal is capable of
making 16 miles a day, according
lo his owner.
“Jumbo” is two-thirds grown,
weighs 1850 pounds and is four
years old. He dines on the same
lood as a cow anil wears shoes
similar to those worn by oxen.
Wilson stated that the animal does
i.ol require shelter ns Its thick fur,
which is valuable as w ell as warn»,
provides sufficient warmth.
Wilson said that he plans to
tiavel south, and w ill endeavor to
raise sufficient funds to send the
animal east, ns it w ill take too
long to drive it to Chicago. To help
defray expenses Wilson sells pic
tures of the animal and also has a
supply of bean seeds to sell. Several
local people bought seeds from the
men.
