ers in the city schools and selected

teacher. The board has decided thai

COMPANY TO

LARAMIE ASSOCIATION FORMED
TO PURCHASE STALLION I'M
PORTED FROM BELGIUM.
Deal Contaminated Today and Magnif-

Property Of Albany County Gentle
men-Strict Regulations Govern
ina Breeding Of Such Horses.

The Laramie Belgian Horse com
pany was organized here this morn
ing, with a capital of $1,000. and with
the following officers:
President-E. J.. Bell.
Secretary and Treasurer-Dr. A. B.
Hamilton.
Manager-Fred Mclaughlin.
Man in Charge-A. 7. Scoville.
Trustees-Gus Johnson, Fred Nc,
Laughlin and DR.. Hamilton.
The company was formed for the
purchase from l.. A. Holdredge OF wal
den of the Belgian stallion, "Esculape,'
28762, brought from Belgium in 1904
by a Denver firm of stockmen. The
horse was foaled March "a, 1901. at
Belleghem, Belgium. weighs 2,O3o
pounds, stands eighteen hands high
and takes a 35.inch collar. He is per
haps one of the finest bred horses In
the United States.
Mr.. e. J. Bell, the president of the
new company, says he has no douD'
the progeny of this horse will add not
less than $50, 900 to the wealth Of this
county.
You know in Belgium" he said
horses like this are bred under the
direction of a commission represent
ing the government, and must be al
lowed to come to a certain standard
before being allowed to be used FOL
breeding purposes. The government
keeps such close watch on the S
ness that when certain horses a
a certain mark Of excellence in the
government commissions test they are
held to produce revenue for the gov
eminent, in the form Of a tribute, II
this case amounting to what would be
a thousand dollars in United States
money. This had to be paid before the
horse was allowed to leave the coun
try. Price Of the horse? Why, m!
dear sir, that is only a sort OF graft
to the government, and the regular
g price to the owners had to be paid IL
addition"
Mr.. Bell grew quite enthusiastic IL
speaking Of the animal, and is yer!
proud Of the work of the company. II
thinks the people Of this county-th'
horse owners and breeders-are some
what slow In catching on to a goo'
thing. and hence his faith In the FL
ture following the purchase Of "Escu
lape." Mr.. Bell has had some worI
done this spring with ten horses to
pillow that should have been done wit
four or six, and he thinks better breet
ing will help the men whoshave to dc
pend upon the horse as an aid in thei
labors.
