THE JEFFERSON JIMPLECUTE — JANUARY 20, 1911
A HORNED RABBIT
As another evidence of the greatness and productivity of Marion county, Mr. Will Gray, carrier on Route No. 4, brought to this office last Saturday a rabbit head to which was attached six perfectly formed horns, though one was lost in handling the head after the animal was killed. The bunny was shot by a negro, John Feilder, who lives on Mr. Gray’s route some five or six miles from the city and is now on exhibition at the Jimplecute office.
Many conjecturs have been offered as to the species of the animal, but we are inclined to think that, as Col. G W. Watson says it is a genuine specimen of the long extinct “Gooklookus,”—though why he should call it that we don’t know. Anyhow the head can be seen here at any time and is a curiosity indeed.
