PASSING OF
CHEHIALIs
Greatest PAGER Ever Bred West
Of the Rockies, Was Second
to Joe Patchen

CHEHALIS. 2:o4A. the fastest pac-
ing stallion ever bred west of the
Rocky mountains, and in more respects
than one the most picturesque equine
that ever appeared upon the Grand cir
cult, Is dead. News of the decease of
the animal at Morrisvil'e, VT, was re-
'ceived but a short time ago. Chehalis
was IA years old at the time of his
death having been foaled in 1890.
Jay Beach of Vancouver, Wash, bred
Chehalis, who was sired by Altamont,
2:26A, the wonderful son Of Atamont,
brought to the coast some time before.
Sired by the horse that a half a dozen
years ago had the proud distinction of
being the sire Of more 2:10 performers
than any other horse in the world, Che
halls was out of an extraordinary mare.
Tecora, Kentucky bred, states one
writer. Chehalis was but one of sew
eral star performers Of the Altamont-
Tecora family. and took his name from
the river county and town in western
sand. or sandy.
When but a colt Chehalis became the
property Of Frank Frazier Of Pendleton,
Umatilla county, Oregon, and as a rae
Ing proposition the name of the man
became as famed as that of the animal,
for they were inseparable during the
years OF Chehalis' triumphs, and when
they parted the animal failed to per-
form as we'll as when they were united.
Chehalis received his education rae
ing over the frozen roads OF Frazier's
great sheep ranch, pulling sleigh be-
hind him, until his owner became con-

Ore. and won third money, pacing sec
ond IN one heat to the tuns OF 2:1S%.
At Salem he was started in the $50
class and spread easied his field. doing
one heat in 2:24h.
He was not raced as l-year -old. but
reappeared in his 5th year. and then
began the brilliant part Of his career.
He started In thirteen races in Oregon
and California and won twelve. In the
thirteenth he was second to Waldo J.
He lowered his record by successive
stages to 9:07A, won i've heats In less
than 2:l0. and captured sl,6bo in purse
- Needless to say. he was the sensa-
tiOn Of the year.
IN 1896. his sixth year. an injured

he was placed on the Montana circuit
and was az sensational as before. He
won free for all after free for all, ana

clusion by smashing the worlds record
Of 4:22x for two miles. He reduced
the figures to fisk. q record that was

The Cliff Dwelleps.

The Cliff Dwellers of Colorado.
New Mexico and great Southwest
have been bodily transferred to the
Worlds Fair. Their exhibit is TO-
day regarded by those that have
been fortunate enough to visit the
out-of-the-way region where these
strange people dwell, as the most
interesting of all the so-called hui
man spectacles now to be seen in
st. Louis. In this display we find
a reproduction of the famous Bat
tie Rock Mountain which rises out
of the desert in Colorado near the
Utah line. At the Worlds Fair
this Battle Rock miniature and the
reproduction Of the surrounding
mountainous country have been
given over to the Cliff Dwellers
themselves, some three hundred
Moki and Zuni Indians, who, here
in the heart OF the city Of st. Louis,
are living their lives over again
precisely as the traveller finds them
in their native country. They have
cut their homes into this imitation
rock and here the visitor can see
them pursuing their daily avoca-
tons. They have brought with
them their instruments of warfare;
their picturesque clothing, and
implements, and in the museum
attached to the Cliff Dwellers' ex-
hibit there are mummies so old
that the best instructed in such
matters refuse to declare when this
outward form of man existed in the
unknown yesterday. They show
their methods Of grinding and
reaping, and use the same smoke
stained vessels for cooking that
are used thousands Of miles away
from their present place Of life.
There are in this group Of three
hundred Moki and Zuni Indians,
Medicine men, Chiefs and a whole
aboriginal kindergarten OF little
