Owns Two Wonderful Pigs

1915

Pair of Jersey Reds That People Come Miles to See

GOSHEN, Ind., Dec. 16 — Two pigs, thought to be the most curious specimens of their kind ever born, altho dead are being preserved in alcohol by their owner, Frank Baker, of West Goshen. Scores of people have come miles to see the freak pigs, which were born with a litter of fifteen.

One has two bodies, but only one head; also has eight legs, two tails, four ears, one having a horn growing from it. The other pig has a trunk similar to that of a baby elephant; has one large eye in the center of its forehead, with a three-inch tail just above the eye, also a long tail at the natural place. The pigs are Jersey Reds.
