A recruit shot one of the horses at
the garrison Thursday, says the Walla
Walla Union. He was talking with
some other soldiers when his eye fell
upon one of the cavalry horses that had
just come around the corner of the
corral ''If that horse was Spaniard
would draw bead on him like
that" he said, and suiting the action
to the word, placed his gun to his
shoulder and took aim at the unsuspect-
ing animal. His ardor must haye been
great or the trigger pulled too easy.
for there was puff of smoke and the
horse fell, gave few kicks and ex-
pired.
