BurgIariZed.

Early yesterday morning the premises of
J. R. Dorsey, No. 612 F street, were bur-
glarized. The thief or thieves entered the
house by the back way and succeeded in
finding two trunks which they carried out
into the yard. After ransacking them and
scattering the contents in every direction,
the marauders departed. When the ten
ants awoke in the morning they found
nothing lost excepting two gold rings and a
quartz specimen, the property of E. NJ.
Quirer, roomer. The matter was re-
ported to the police. This is the first in
stance of a preachers residence being
robbed in this city. The thieves evidently

Wilson's Blue Bull was not got by Pru-
den's Blue Bull an opinion in which our
friend was evidently mistaken. Then it
c~uriously happened that Mr.. Elijah Stone
fatty refused to give any further infor-
nation than what is here quoted, not ev-
en- being willing to state whether the
dam of Wilson's Blue Bull ever produced
any other colt; exhibiting a stubborn
ness in striking contrast to the patient
and painstaking politeness with which
Mr.. Dorrell, Mr.. Mexican and many 9TH
ers of our friends have met and answered
our inquiries; taking these facts in
connection with the further fact that Mr..
Dorrell and Mr.. stone did not agree as to
the year Blue Bull vas foaled, thereby
leaving an open possibility for the colt
to have been another foal of the same
mare by a different sire, and it is easily
seen that the case demanded the most
searching scrutiny. The testimony of
Mr.. Dorrell above given, with the dates
as above settled, seems, however, to set
the whole question at rest. If these re-
suits should stimulate our Indiana friends
to ascertain further facts, we should
deem them doubly valuable.

gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't a tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority in
Sthe world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. AS such 1T deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department; and we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
his hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, NORTH
American or Bullock Horse; Lady surrey,dam
OF Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, g. 9. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g, $ OF Biggart's
Rather, and many others.
b. This is pre-eminently the kind of informa'
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper for the history of the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac'
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to II romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.

ETHAN ALLEN.

" iAS III bNANit itNAulNa'
Following back the line of distinguish
ed Vermont sires we neXt com to Ethan
Allen, a horse, like Lambert, foaled just
without our borders, but which. like his
famous son, passed the better portion of
his life in Vermont. He was a long time
favorite with the American people, oc-
less higher than that of any other horse
that ever trotted in public. This was due
not more to his extreme beauty of form
and perfection of movement han to his
wonderful intelligence and docility. which
made him at once the pet of the family at
home and of the public at large. In the
fall of 1885 | had occasion to call, in COM
pany with Mr.. Battell, and in search for
facts concerning this horse, on Mrs. Hol-
comb. widow of his breeder, who lives
with her daughter, Mary, in a cosy and
pleasant home in T~iconderoga. Mrs. Hol.
comb told US that Ethan was given to her
by her husband when he was a year old
both ladies spoke of him with warmth
and affection, almost as if he had been q
cherished member of the family. SHE
would never pass the open window but
that he would put his head in for a piece
of cake" said Mrs. Holcomb, herself 6
sweet-faced elderly lady that seemed tc
have grown old in the sunshine. These
ladies told us that Ethan was once takel

S. B. Rathburn, formerly manager OF
the Pacific eating house at Laramie, was
one of the most entertaining and widely
known men ever occupying a similar po-
sition on the line, and il now the popular
host of a winter resort at San Luis Obispo,
Cal. "Rath," as every n called him,
is the most notorious harmless falsiier out
of jail. In fact he entertains his guests
that way. Over in Laramie "Rath" met
an impecunious cowboy n day and spec,
ulated by purchasing the puncher's horse.
saddle and bride for SIT. The following
day 'Rath'' tried to sell the animal to a
Laramie man, and in extolling its merits
said That horse cost $3.50 without an
inch of leather. I've been offered $500
for it, but won't let it go on account of
my wife. It's the finest saddle animal in
this neck of the woods, has seven gdits
and is gentle as a kitten" The most
amusing feature of the whole thing was
that Rathburn proved his statements by
Don Cushman, who is now manager of
the Pacific house at Rawlins.
