THAT HORSE TRANSACTION.

1t was Perfectly Straight and Regu.
lar, but the Lucky Purchaser Picked
Up About go, 900 as Easily as II
He Had Struck q Rich Mine.
In last Saturdays issue an item was
published which began as follows:
The TINES learns of q recent trans.
action in stock that is at least very PEI
culiar, and will bear investigation, if
true.
The reporter then went on to detail
how a lot Of 25O horses, worth from
s125 to $3.50 per head at low est
mate, were alleged to have been
bought for IS each, etc., and stated
that the transaction had a suspicious
look.
The reporter, Of course, simply told
the story as it was given to him, care
fully refraining from naming anyone,
or giving any particulars that might
lead to the identification of either the
horses or parties supposed to be i'm
plicated.
1t appears, however, that the tran
saction was perfectly legal, honor
able one in every respect, and that
there is nothing to conceal about it.
J. II. Pennington, halloween of the
Cold Springs dairy ranch, proprietor
of a woodward in HALEY, and one OF
our most industrious and enterprising
citizens, is the lucky person who Sc.
cured the horses. Mr.. Pennington
came to the TINES Office this morn.
ing with the bill Of sale, which is made
by Ned. Ferguson, well-known citi
zen of Utah, who acted in behalf OF
the owners Of the horses. The brand
is the figure s, and it was purchased
by Mr.. Pennington, along with the
horses.
The facts are these: Some time
ago, Mr.. Pennington, Ed. Terry, ane
Jesse Stnson learned of band o
wild horses near Deep Creek, Utah
that belonged to the estate of de
ceased person, and could be 60
cheaply, as they could not be corraled
They started out, reached Deep Creek
were shown the horses on the range
and told that they were for sale at II
per head. For two days the gentle
men named tried to corral the band
; but failed. Messrs. Terry and Stin
, son, compelled to return to look afte
their varied interests here, gave u
the business and returned with MI
E Pennington's team. An account Q
:, their trip was published at the time
Mr.. Pennington, however, determine
to buy the horses, if he had to stay o
the range forever. So he hired lc
OF men, and finally succeeded in col
Ealing the band, which was the
o counted, and found to number 800 t.
$50 head. He purchased them at
- cost OF about Sc head, the unbrant
i ed mavericks being thrown in. AZ
, ding the cost of rounding. up and co
~ railing, Mr.. Pennington says that tt
= animals cost him an average of abo,
!. $40 per head. All Of them are pc
!: fecdy good, and sound, many al
a young, and some worth hundreds
y dollars apiece. He expects to NAL
:. $500 or $40, 1000 on the transact
but everything was done on II
=. square.
4 As above tated, the horses "

k were compelled to close, as one of tt
owners is dead, and the other is pa

Naming the Birds.

Every now and then the Geological
garden has pair OF young birds sent
to it without any other information re-
garding them than the whereabouts of
their capture. Tue persons who send
them DO not know of what species
they are, and think, of course, that the
ornithologists of the garden will have
no difficulty in giving them their proper
name. 1t is not generally known that
some birds have four distinct sets of
plumage. and that the last suit Is the
one that is described in the textbooks
and by which the species is deter
mined.
I'VE have lots of trouble about this
thing" said Supt. Brown as he sat in
his comfortable office, surrounded with
zoologies, ornitho!ogies, stuffed monk
eys, cabinet pictures of balloons, and
crocodiles' skulls. Now, there are
the American sea gulls- No one can
tell what species young pair will de-
velop into They have to be measured
for their final suit of clothes and put
them on before we can name them.
..Some time ago four raccoons were
