HORSE HISTORY
GOES WAY BACK

In Wissen fuer ALE Prof Koeais
discusses In some detail the origin Cf
ne horse Of today. He finds that the
horse of neOlithiC times was not spe-
Ci1cially distinct from the horse of
the present. While there is no doubt
That the horse of that period was used
by man for food. there seems to be no
conclusive evidence as to whether it
was domestiCated or not His own opiu-
ion, however, is that il was probably
dOmesticated
The horse OF that time was closely al
lied 10 the tarpan. or semi-wild horse,
that lived In Southern Russia lIp to a
century ago. This was a ''hoz-naned -
short-legged, large-headed beast. It
seems probable that the domesticated
horses OF the Germans OF Caesars time
were derived from this breed.
The Egyptians had horses as early as
1890 3. &. These were lOng-maned
more like the Arab horses and came
from Assyria- Where the Assvrians OBJ
tained them Is unknown butt was DrOh-
ably from Southern Asia where this
lOng-maned breed has been developed IN
ell probability. as the result of long
continued domestication. The modern
horse is a cross between these two
breeds, with a further mixture of the
Arab horse. This Arab horse, too. was
itself a descendant of the earlier long
named horse.
The origin Of the lOng-maned horse is
a matter OF doubt but Prof. Koenig
thinks IL may have ben from an ex-
tinCt Indian species.

WELL. KNOWN LADY PASSED

From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Mrs. Grace Fox passed away at the
home of her mother, Mrs. o. o. Pitcher
All South Second street, at half past
two o'clock this afternoon, after a
brave struggle. She was stricken with
typhoid fever, and recently heart com
plications set in, that was the imnedi-
ate cause of death. Shortly before
her death her mind was clear and she
sat up and conversed, but her physi-
clan did not think that this BODIED
any good. Her pulse ran UP to lsS
while her temperature was only slight
ly above normal.
Mrs. Fox was born in Mankato Feb
%, 1862, and was educated in the
Mankato schools. For a time she was
teacher of music in the state normal
school. In 1884, she was joined in
marriage to George H. Fox, then agent
for the Chicago g. Northwestern road
in this city. Later Mr.. Fox engaged
in the lumber business at Waupaca.
Wis.,, and the family resided there I'M
til his death, which occurred in Au-
gust, 1894. His remains were brought
to Mankato and inferred in Glenwood
cemetery, and the family has resided
here the greater part of the time since.
two or three years being spent in
Minneapolis.
Mrs. Fox is survived by her mother,
three sons, her brother, P. w. Pitcher,
and one sister, Miss Fanny Pitcher.
The sons are George 7. Fox, who is
in Bolivia, South America, Milo p.
who is cadet at the United States
military academy at West Point, N.
Y, and Thomas, who lives at home.
Mrs. Fox was a member of the
Episcopal church, and also belonged
to the Eastern Star chapter. She was
a lady of high character, an accom-
plished musician, and favorite with
all who knew her. She enjoyed wide
acquaintance in Mankato, where prac-
tically all of her life was spent, and
was endeared to all. Her death is a
sad blow to her family, who will
have the sympathy of all.
Funeral services will be held at the
house at 2:30 o'clock Monday after
noon.

SMALLPOX CASES IN STATE
Four Hundred and Nineteen In Last
Six Weeks, No Deaths.

Reports by the state board of health
to the national authorities show that
4l9 cases of smallpox were treated in
Minnesota during the past six weeks.
st. Paul had eighty EIGHT cases and
Duluth sixtyseven No cases were
deported during the period
The number for the period this year
is lightly in excess of the total for
the same period last year, when only
800 cases were reported. The number
is however, much smaller than it was
during the spring, when nearly 200
new cases were reported every week.
The number is much smaller than
six or seven years ago. During the
same period in 1901 there were l,lOS
cases. This dropped to 49S in 1902
and to POS in 1903. The number of
deaths in other years has been from
FIVE to eight for the same period.

MADE A RAID on A SALOON
kasota Thirst ParIor Was Visited BY
Thieves Few Nights Ago.


Kasota has its gentlemen and hon
est citizens and also it's sneak thieves,
says the Kasota correspondent of The
st. Peter Herald. On Saturday night
Charles. Gustafson's saloon was broken
into and liquor and cigars were stolen.
The removal of screen and the break
ing of a window light in the rear end
of the building gave the thieves free
rope to the inside of the building and
they helped themselves to everything
but cash, none of the latter being
left in the register. About two o'clock
Sunday morning the thieves again at,
tempted another raid upon the
building but a watch dog giving the
alarm aroused Barber Mathews from
his sleep and observing two providers on
the outside of the saloon building
attempting an entrance let 60 his
six shooter, which caused the thieves
to beat hasty retreat. 1t is thought
that home talent and not professionals
are guilty of the job.

WAS RUN DOWN BY AN AUTO
Miss Edith Holman Was Injured Late
This Afternoon.
From, Sat,1rdov's naf1v

Miss Edith Holman, office girl for
Drs. Beach and Dahl, and a daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. S. Holman,
was injured late this afternoon at the
corner of Front and jackson streets.
She started to cross the street, when
she was run down by H. F. Leonard's
automobile. She was dragged twenty
or thirty feet, and was then picked
up and taken to the physicians office.
Mr.. Leonard was going down jack
son street, and turned south on Front.
As he did so, a young man on bicy-
Gle, who seemed in imminent danger
of colliding with the machine, at
tracted Mr.. Leonard's attention for the
instant. It was Just at this moment,
as he was trying to avoid the bicycle,
that the accident happened.
Miss Holman sustained slight frac-
ture of the bone just above the right
ankle, and both her knees were bruised
and she was otherwise painfully
bruised, and her clothing and one shoe
torn.
The accident happened directly in
