"GOAIUSA."

One of the Arabian stations to be exhibited at
the Central Maine Fair at Waterville by the Daven-
port Desert Arabian Stud has picturesque his
tory. His name indicates the tribe from which he
comes. The Gomusa is sub-tribe of the Seba Ane-
"a and are the greatest horse breeders of all in the
Arabian Desert. They wild tribe and the wo-
men of that tribe have their lips tattOOed blue. his
3 year old bay colt has the left forefoot white which
particular mark the bedoWens think is special
mark of Ali (God). The horse also has white in
the face that takes in nostrl the white extend
ing to the under lip where i'll esteem OF the mark OF
God-the left white forefoot,-the tattOoer has blued
his under lip Gomnsa was years old on the
27th of June last and stands I6I inch tall which
is remarkable for Arabian He was thought so
much Of by The Gomusa tribe that their Shiek gave
him to Hickmet Bey the son OF Nazem Pasha the
governor Of Aleppo.
The Bey chose him as his present to Homer
Davenport when he was ready to leave the desert.
In the desert BedoWens came miles to see him be
fore he was led away. Strange to the character Of
his wild tribe this horse is shy and wild of any but
the Bedowen in his robes. Gomusa as specimen
of horse flesh is one OF the finest ects a horse
man ever looked especially a racing type. He is
of the family called Manaka Sebele which are the
fleet and powerful i'll This horse has the short
est back ever seen and the most remarkable Shout
der and hip. When he was brought to Aleppo for
the Governors son he had never even mud
house let alone a Rock City But he would follow
a Bedowen, thus when he was brought to Escande-
room for shipment to America with the rest Of
Davenports horses ON the 28tho August, they were
some time solving the problem of getting him into
his box crude wood and iron trap. Finally the Be
dowen boy took his halter rope and went ahead into
the box and with step graceful as deer Go
musa followed. The great Akmut fiaffez said of
him when he saw him in Aleppo Syria that he
would bring a thousand pounds French in Bagdad,
for Pasha to ride. Bedowens knet as they passed
in front Of him in respect Of his left white forefoot
and the tattoOed lip.
Mr. James A. Lawrence, the shrewd manager of
the Hartman Stock Farm in Ohio, said it worth
trip from Ohio to see him though he wouldn't
let him pet him. 1t seems like a miracle to this
representative of the widest tribe of warriors in
the world here in America. But when you him
you are aware Of one thing certain, that the Gomusa
tribe they have been represented the great
est horse breeders in the world, here is horse
that will be $50 the most perfectly built specimen
you could ever see, that has been produced from a
people that keep their horses hObbed all OF their
lives by the front and hind feet. They never al
lowed to run loose other colts do. They are fed
day on the poorest horse feed known, wa
tered in "a hours taken ont of the burn
ing that beats down at the rate of IS degrees
in the shade still with all this the most beautiful
specimen of horscfesh one could ever behold.

mas dinner.
Mrs. G. j. Koppke and mother, Mrs.
Luke, went to Necedah today to see
Mrs. Luke's son, Lewis Luke, who is
critically i'll with typhoid fever. The
family has had most distressing time
with the disease for some weeks and 8
members of the family are already gone.
Early in the fall Mrs. Luke went to
Lyndon Station to care for daughter
i'll with the disease. The daughter re-
covered but the mother passed away on
November 6. A son died on November
IS. The father of the family cannot re-
cover, it is feared. In nmost of the cases
death resulted from a relapse after a
partial recovery was noticed. During
the absence of Mrs. Koppke and Mrs.
Luke the rest home on Second avenue

LIVELY DOINCS
IN REAL ESTATE
(From Thursdays Daily.)

There were lively doings in real es-
cate circles today forenoon when F. A.
Thilbrick and w. U. Odell met on the
floor of Philbrick's office. Odell was
there to pay Philbrick some Mystic
Workers dues and Odell charged Phil
orick with not handling the business
us he should. Hot words passed be-
'ween the two men, quickly followed
0y blows and clinch. Philbrick got
n some severe scratches on Odell's face
and Odell, proving the stronger, got
Philbrick on his back on the floor and
proceeded to land some heavy blows
rom above. Blood flowed freely and
it was all over in about two minutes,
Anding in one short round. 1t was the
iveliest scrap seen in Baraboo for some
ime, with no charge for admission,
aging nothing of reserved seats.
