LAMB BORN WITH DUPLICATEORGANS Has Six Lees, Two Stortv achs, But Ouly Ono Head Six legs, two stomachs and a com plete set of digestive organs are the extraordinary equipment of a six-weeks-old lambkin owned by S. W. Campbell, of Palouse, and now receiv ing special care 'in a Spokane stable. Campbell thinks he haa a freak that ia worth a small fortune, and as the lamb ia ablo to gambol after the fash ion of tho ordinary 8ccimen of its kind, nnd seems to suffer no impedi ment from its extra equipment, he thinks ho has a chance to win out. The head, shoulders and front legs of the animal are normal, but from there to its two tails it is furnished with double equipment, though two of its legs arc of no use. They grow out at right angles from the middle joints of its hind legs but do not seem to impede truvel in any way. The lamb was born in tho hills near Palouse. the mother being one of a band of UMH) sheep grazing in the foot hiila. Spanish herders In cnarge of the flock discovered the abnormal creature when the flock stampeded after in specting it, and turned it over to an Indian woman of tho Nez Perces tribe. Hut there is a legend among the Nez Perces that the harboring of deformed animals means ill luck to the tribe, and tho squaw was ordered to dispose 1 of the freak. Campbell, who had heard of it, was willing to take chances, and bought It for $10. Six More Cars Six new E. M. F. foredoor cars are expected to reach Lakeview to morrow, it being T. E.
