The Norman Horse Association of
NevAI0.


A couple of months ago a number
OF gentlemen interested in the stock
business conceived the idea of Il
chasing a Norman stallion for use ir
this neighborhood. Acting on the
idea a stock association was formed
the number of shares limited to fifty,
at a value of 800 per share, the pur-
pose being to raise 50, GOO. IL was pro
posed to buy two stations, one at
$500 and the other enough inside OF
that figure to pay for the freight on
both horses. Correspondence was
opened with w. M. Durham of Wayne,
Du Page county, ILL.,, an extensive
importer and breeder of the Norman
strain, resulting in the shipment of the
stallion Leo and a half breed. j. NJ.
North proceeded to Elko TO meet The
horses and complete the purchase, and
was so well satisfied with the animal
that he closed the bargain at once.
The half breed, a beautiful dapple
gray weighing $50 pounds, was also
secured by Messrs. North, Fletcher
and Sadler, who will use him in the
stud. The association was organized
and the shares limited to twenty-five,
twenty of which have been taken and
paid tor, and the other five bargaii.ed
Tor. We append a list Of those inter
ested and also a description of Leo:
q. A. Fletcher, one share, 500; r.

Leo was imported from Normandy
August, 1876; five years old; 10 hands
high; weight, 1850 pounds; color. a
coal black. He has massive shout
ders, heavy neck, lofty crest, and g
beautiful head. His body is long,
with short back; long flat quarter,
short, heavy legs, good feet and fine
action.
The horse will be taken to Newark
valley, where he will be under the
control of the association.
II HORSES OF NORMANDY.
An article upon the Norman horse,
written by an Englishman and pub
lished in the British Quarterly Journ-
al Of Agriculture, in giving an account
of the origin Of the horse, says:
1.-THE horses of Normandy are a
Cd pital race for hard work and scanty
fare. | have never seen such horses at
the collar, under the diligence; the
post-carriage; the cumbrous and heavy
voiture, or cabriolet for one or two
horses; or on the farm. They are en-
during and energetic beyond descrip-
ton; with their neck cut to the bone,
they finch not. They put forth all
their efforts at the voice of their
driver, or at the dread sound of the
whip. They keep their condition when
other horses would die of neglect and
hard treatment. A better cross for
some ofour horses a not be imagined
than those of Normandy"
Messrs. North and Fletcher are very
much pleased with the treatment re-
ceived from Mr.. Durham, finding
everything just as that gentleman rep
resented.

Out of one belt two cartridges were gone,
out OF the other, five. 1t was with the
captured ammunition and arms that we
fought the other bodyof troops. il they
had all remained together they would
have hurt us very bad. The party we
killed made five different stands. Once
we charged right ia, until we scattered
the whole of them, fighting among them
hand to hand. One band of soldiers was
right in the rear Of us; when they charged
we fell back, and stood for one moment
facing each other. Then the Indians
got courage and started for them in
solid'body. We went but little distance
when we spread out and encircled them.
All the time could see their officers rid
ing In front and hear them shouting TO
their men. 1t was in this charge that
most of the Indians were killed. We
lost 1876 killed and 100 wounded. We
finished up this party right there in the
ravine. [Gen. Sheridan is of the opinion
that Red Horse meant to say that 1876
were killed and 100 were wounded dur
ing the entire engagement, and not in
any one particular charge.
The troops up the river made the first
attack, skirmishing. A little while after
the fight commenced with the other
troops below the village. While the
latter fight was going on we posted some
Indians to prevent the other command
from forming a junction. Some of the
young men took the clothing off the dead
and dressed themselves in it. There
were several men among them who had
citizen clothing They went up and at
tackled the other command that way. Both
banks of the river were very steep and
difficult of ascent. Many of the troops
were killed while crossing. When they
got on the hill they made some kind of
fighting works, and the fight was then
carried on at distance, the young men
sometimes charging close up. The fight
continued at long range until the walk.

this city. The Buffalo express south and
the train going north meet there and
stop,for supper.
On the arrival of the train at Temple

he was ordered to relieve him and take
his run to Pittsburgh. Mr.. Bingham
asked him for his instructions. He pro-
duced telegram, addressed 81. II.
