Calf Peter Denied Land as American Quarantine Stand
A three legged calf named Peter, born twenty three weeks ago in Württemberg, arrives in New York aboard the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse but is kept aboard and forbidden to land after a telegram from the Department of Agriculture. Government quarantine officials refuse entry without authority, citing restrictions on cattle. Julius Fladd of Burlington Iowa and two companions purchased the calf during the voyage and are witnesses to the affair. The calf's mother Gretel supplied milk to the farm, and locals followed the creature's journey with interest.
