bourne's turn to do homage came there
was loud cheering; they also cheered
Lord Gray and the duke of wellington:
it's a pretty ceremony; they first all
touch the crown and then kiss my

knelt down and kissed my hand he
pressed my hand and / grasped his

UP with his eyes field with tears ana
seemed much touched, as he was, I
observed. throughout the whole cere-

HORSE SALE IS
RECORD BREAKER
DEMAND is 70 RsouTHERNERs
AND DRAFTs-coNTlNuED
UNTIL NOON TODAY

Without any question, the largest
sale ever held in the history of the
South Ottumwa horse sales, was that
which closed at noon today at Morris
Williams sale barn on Myrtle street.
The sale began yesterday morning
and lasted until late last night The
fine weather prevaliing is largely to
account both for the large number of
buyers present and also the extra
large number Of horses shown.
Prices remained good and steady
until late yesterday evening when
there was slight tendency to drop a
trif1e. The sale opened up brisk this
morning and continued so until the
close Of the sale.
Southerners and Drafts Wanted
A good first class southern horse
was in better demand yesterday than
at any previous sale SO far. Drafts
were also in fairly steady demand and
a large number of farm mares and
common stock were also disposed of ut
good prices. One feature of the sale
was an extra fine carload of mules
which excited more favorable COM
ment than any bunch of the long cared
animals ever brought in.
While no record breaking prices
were paid, the average selling price
remained good throughout the sale.
The highest team price paid was s475,
brought by an extra fine team of big
black mules weighing 2,740 pounds.
The highest priced pair of horses sold
for $467.50 and a fine single driving
horse called for the highest figure,
$240.

Though nothing definite is known
concerning Dams breeding, his master
Is confident that he was thorough
bred. He was bay horse with white
touches on his forehead, nose and right
hind foot. In build he was small, never
weighing more than 900 pounds. In
endurance it was that Dan excelled.
He was not as speedy as some horses
but, his master says, he could start in
the morning, keep up good stiff pace
all day long. and finish in the even
ing fresh and strong.
During the sixteen years his mas
ter drove him with his mate, Bill, at
which time Mr.. Rourke was largely
engaged in buying stock, the team,
Dan and Bill' became well known to
the farmers and liverymen of this
county and adjoining ones.
Death Wins at Last.
But Dan after living to an age that
very few horses indeed attain, finally
was compelled to give UP the unequal
fight and meet the one relentless
enemy, death. Wednesday of this
week, Dan, his vitality exhausted by
his long, active existence, passed
peacefully away on the farm, where
for the past two years he has roamed
at will spending the twilight of his
life.
His mate CHIP though still an ac
tive animal, must soon follow him
since Bill himself, Mr.. Rourke states,
is 30 years of age.
