FROM THE NEWSPAPERS.
[GRAND JURY MEMBERS.]
Winfield Courier, December 16, 1880.
The following are the grand jurors summoned by order of the court last week.
O. D. Tucker and J. R. Tate, Silver Creek.
Winfield Courier, September 20, 1883.
Mr. O. D. Tucker, of Silver Creek Township, was one of our callers Saturday. He came to Cowley way back in the pioneer days and, like many others of the early settlers, was not very well off financially. He now has one of the best farms in the county and has surrounded himself with many of the comforts of life.
THE SIX LEGGED CALF.
Winfield Courier, Thursday, May 28, 1885.
Our reporter got a sight at the six legged wonder Friday morning. O. D. Tucker, who lives 2½ miles from Burden, is the owner. It is an ordinary white calf with the exception of the two extra legs. These legs are all “bona fide.” They project from the left shoulder blade like a wing. They are about two feet long and well formed. This calf is a living curiosity and well worth seeing. He runs opposition to Barrett’s museum. Hundreds of the curious deposited their dimes.
