Mysterious Quadraped Captured By Arizona Hunters
Hunters Dr Hammond and Cave Parks in Mohave Territory report a strange quadraped found in the Wallapai Mountains. After five shots with a 45 caliber rifle, Mr Parks killed it. The creature measures ten inches around, eighteen inches long, with a four inch tail and hooved hind feet. Its red head, baby blue fur, tusked upper jaw, forked tongue, and long trunk-like snout mystify naturalists. The stomach held live toads, horn-toads, ants, and a garter-snake. Professor Raelle will mount the specimen for exhibition in the Miner cabinet.
