sure success. The fact that OsteO-
pathy has become recognized as a dis
tinct school of medicine brands 1t as
worthy of the consideration of every
right thinking man and woman. II Is

Bachelor of Pedagogy in 1894. In the
fall Of the same year he was elected
principal of the Hudson public schools.

his administration of the interests of
the young that he was twice reelected
to that position.
He first became interested in Osteo-
pathy in 1897. and becoming imbued
with the soundness of the principles
of that treatment resolved to make it
his life's profession. With this OBJ
ject in view he entered the American
School of Osteopathy, Kirkyille. No.

is noteworthy that while in school he
reduced his expenses by conducting
private classes in chemistry, anatomy

MUSTANGS DISAPPEARING.
The Last Great Hunt Perhaps Help
Now Rreed of Horses In ArtxOna.

The Last Great Hunt Perhaps Help
New Breed of Horses In Arizona.
The mustang hunt in northeastern
Arizona a few days ago was probably
the last to be held in the territory, and
perhaps in all the west. While once
the wild horses roamed in countless
herds over the plains and among the
foothills Of the Rocky Mountains, they
can be found in few localities now.
Forty years ago they were scarcely
considered worth the trouble Of CATCH
ing. Later thousands were shipped to
the east, where they were known as In
dian ponies and were sold at prices
ranging from IS to $50. About ten
years ago Colonel Ed Redmond held a
great roundup of mustangs in eastern
New Mexico and western Texas, and
gathered in more than 5000 horses. He
cleared $4,000 on his roundup. and
tried the same thing several times af-
terward in Utah, Texas and Wyoming,
but never with results so profitable.
In early days so vast were the ranges
at the disposal of the cattle kings, that
the grazing of wild horses never ma
terially interfered with the cattle. In
the last quarter Of a century the
growth of the cattle business and the
utilization Of the public lands have
done away with the immense ranges of
the cattle king days, and the mustang
has become q nuisance. He used the
limited range feed at the expense of
the cattle men until he grew to be con-
sidered an outlaw and a thief, and then
he was shot by the cowboys whenever
possible.
In many instances mustangs mixed
with the ranch herds and eventually
became cow horses, their stamina,
speed and strength usually making up
for deficiency in size. A few years ago
black stallion, the leader Of herd of
wild horses in northern Arizona, was
finally shot after repeatedly showing
his heels to the best horses in the coun-
try. On his flank was the brand Of the
Bar L. ranch, a large establishment
owned by the Perrin company.
It was learned then, that three years
before it was a half-grown colt just
from Kentucky, he had escaped from
the barn and Joined the wild herd. He
recovered from his bullet wound and
for three years won races in Arizona,
New Mexico and California, the combi-
nation Of his good breeding and his ear
ly life with the wild herd giving him
speed and stamina which sent him to
the front. He beat the best horses on
the frontier.
At Payson, in northeastern Arizona,
where for generations the mountain
bred horses have raced, with ranches
and cattle-herds as side bets, Black
Eagle met his Waterloo. A ringer
from New Orleans beat the black stall
lion by a head, and on that race hinged
the ownership Of not less than 1,500
steers and 10000 sheep, with a couple
Of ranches and a fortune in cash.
Black Eagle never won again. Appar-
emily broken hearted, he died in the
stud, ten years later, the originator of

east and in the British and German ar
