WILL BREAK A ZEBRA.
The Animal Has Killed Four Men, but
the Jamaica Horse Trainer Expects to
Subdue IL.

The Animal Has Killed Four Men, but
the Jamaica Horse Trainer Expects to
Subdue IL.
Something almost as good as bull-tight
is to be presented in the Madison Square
Garden, New York, next week. Horse
Tanner o. Il. Gleason, whose exploits in
breaking vicious horses TO rein and harness
have attracted attention throughout the
country, has thought up a new way to risk
his neck. He will try his horse-training
system upon a zebra which has a record of
having killed four men and three animals
OF its own kind, and has been given up as
hopelessly vicious beast by the managers
of the Cincinnati Geological gardens,
whence Mr., Gleason is to import it to New
York.
The zebra is big stallion named Dick.
He stands from l21 to Is hands high and
weighs about 920 pounds. The average
zebra seen in a menagerie is not a full
blooded animal, but a cross-bred beast,
usually of small size and weight. This
brute has been the terror of his owners in
Cincinnati for number of years, and has
been kept in big Enclosure surrounded by
three stout fences built of iron and heavy
timbers. Mr.. Gleason proposes 10 tackle
this animal with his usual methods, only
adding what he calls "the persuasion of
gunpowder." By this he means that he
will fire blank cartridges from A calibre
revolvers TO startle the zebra and check his
PUSHES upon the human being who holds
the pistols and the training whip.
Mr.. Gleason says that his object in max
ing this trial of his training methods is to
learn whether zebra can be broken by the
same system as a horse. During the Is
years of his career as horse-brraker he
has subdued more than 1900 head of
horses, and he considers the efficiency of
his system fully demonstrated, as applied
to horses. Whether a wild animal can be
taught in the same way is what he wants
TO find ont.
Mr.. Gleason says that he has sustained
all kinds of injuries in the course of his
work, and has tackled some of the most
vicious brutes that ever lived, but that
neither he nor any other trainer or horse
breaker has ever attempted any such task
as this of breaking Cincinnati Dick The
prospect that Mr.. Gleason may be broken
up into fine pieces and then spread thin
over the tanbark of the arena is supposed
to be an attraction which will stir the
sporting blood of men enough to bring to-
gether big assemblage in the garden. Mr..
Gleason says he does not expect TO get
Killed, or he would not make the trial; but
he believes that he has taken big contract.
During the week Mr. Gleason will break
about 100 horses. Among them will be
stations from Stowe, VT, Salem, and Port
Jervis, n. y, which are as ugly brutes as
live. All of them are to be subdued in
one or two lessons.

THE ELECTRIC RAILROAD.
How the West Brattleboro People
View the Proposed Enterprise.

Mr. Editor:-Since your correspondent,
Hon. b. ID. Harris, in last weeks issue,
thinks it best to look on all sides of the
project for an electric railroad between the
two villages, fear he will be disappointed
if he does not hear from at least one from
the West village. do not assume to an
swer his carefully written article with ar
guments of my own, and only attempt to
present such views of the subject as are
matters of common talk among the people
of this village.
AS to whether the road would pay, time
alone could decide. There are very few
improvements made, or new enterprises
started, the success of which is assured
from the start. Whether they will pay is
matter only of belief, not of certainty,
even to "level-headed people, The town
of BrattlebOro was not willing to take the
burden of the narrOw-guAge railroad, on
the strength of what it would pay in div
idendS, but gave $4,000 outright as the
easiest way to be rid of the burden. But
Tor all that there are few in town who
would be willing TO have the road thrown
up. II is great public convenience, and
has opened up much new business, not the
least of which is the Dummerston granite
works. 1t would seem as though our
townspeople who have abundant means
might as well put their money into enter
priSes like this, to accommodate even few
hundred of our people, as to send it TO far
away places, where they neither see the
good that it will do nor reap any return
from it, as so many in this town have
done.
There are few shops or places of bust
ness in the West village where working
men and women can get employment A
cheap and quick conveyance like the cleo
trio railroad would be a very great advan-
tage to this class who find work in your
village. There arc also many fine enter
tainments in the East village which our
people would be glad to attend were it
more convenient To do So We have two
good grocery stores which keep limited
stock of other necessary articles, but aside
from these it is necessary to do our bust
ness at the other village. From this you
will see that our residents are no small
factor toward the support of your business
firms, and with cheapened rates of travel
there would be so much the more money
to trade with.
Mr.. Harris evidently thinks an electric
railroad will have a tendency to keep away
summer visitors. Perhaps he does not
know that good many city people come
TO West Brattleboro to board. and that 4
majority Of them are working people of
limited means. They are class who need
rest in the country if any do. They have
to practice economy in order that their va
cations can be spent in the country. 1t
seems good deal for them to pay the high
rate of transportation which our coach
man is obliged to charge in order to make
- trf,s f..,f
