RED BUCK.
Very sincerely yours.
EDWARD IL. RGpL

In response to our recent request, says
Tr0twood in Horse Review, for full
history of the Indiana pacing sire, Red
Buck, a friend sends us from Ladoga,
Indiana, history of the horse, from
which the following is clipped:
"Richard Arnold brought from Ken
lucky with him a large brown mare
when he came to Putnam county, Ind,
where he located and started IA distillery
on the banks of Eel River. At this time
there lived in Stilesville, Ind, Hendricks
county, one Dr. McAllister, who owned
and used as saddle horse a pacing stall
lion which he called a COpperDottom.
lie also had one son, who at regular
intervals would get on Il spree. In pre-
pairing for one of his round-ups, this
Young man visited Arnoid's place, riding
the old pacing stallion. McAlii,ter
traded a season to the old stallion to Ar
mold for "A quart of whiSkey, and the re-
suit was Red Buck, which at three years
old Mr. Richard Arnold sold to Dr.
Alfred Mowdv of Sulcsville, Ind, now
of Greencastle, Ind, for $50. His first
appearance that fall was as poor green
colt, with his tail all chewed of 10y the
calves, at Ddnville, Ind, ridden by VIM.
Wilson. now of Emporm, Kan. There
was nothing that could make him go any,
and great was the excitement when the
poor colt, with no hair on his tail and
carrying the stub at an angle of about
-forty-live de grecS, marched off aud won
as he pleased DR.. Mowdy sold him to
Mat IIadley. of Danville, Ind. aud he
was placed in the hands of Ham Jackson,
now of Moorville, lud., who gave him
his training. Many of the hest horses of
Indiana can be traced directly to Red
Buck. and he was to the western portion
of the State what Blue Bull was to the
eastern. Thousands of horsemen in
Western Indiana will testify that Red
Buck was the fastest horse that ever
marked the earth and that his get have
more courage ana speed than the scions
from nobler tribes. The Nashville Fair
association used to draw its biggest
crowd when it was announced that Red
Buck would 80 fast mile. and he never
failed to fulfil the announcement. With
out boots. weight, harness or Sulky, with
no accOutrements save "A saddle, bride
and 2l0 pounds of human flesh in the
saddle. this Old fellow paced many times
IN 2:l7, and at MonteZuma cut this down
to 2:lt. Ofrtimes in our enthusiasm we
have predicted the two-minute horse was
near at hand, bat | believe if old Red
Buck had been properly equipped and
trained, he could have paced it in his
day. Among his get are Bald Hornet,
Capt. Jack, Chestnut Star. Red Hornet,
Ada Paul and many Others"

JOSEPH BATTELL
CATCHING WILD HORSES.

YUMA. Ariz., Oct. 22.-The newspapers
