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. Bernard's first shipment.
The cursare.' all j; sold the purchasers

Watson. John Flynn, V. L. Snelling
und Chus. M. Faulkner. When the new
owners take charge, it "might perhaps
be well forthe ordinary citizen to keep
off the streets.
