NEAL, Tom – Has an Unusual Cow (1911)

Tom NEAL, a respectable colored man living on the Jones place a mile west of Somerville, has at his place a very unusual freak of nature.  A cow belonging to him, on last Saturday night dropped a calf, that has no eyes and no tail.  In other parts, it is a well developed animal, as strong and healthy as the average calf of its age.  There is, as stated no tail, and no pretense to one, and the eyes are entirely void of balls.  The  youngster seems hearty and shows that he is determined to live a long life, and show the world more of his curiosity-hood.
