were proba bly, brought there by the
Spaniards In 1915, almost fifty years
before jamestown was settled, Coro-
nado, the Spanish captain, was roam

and he tells of the dogs used by the
Indians TO haul their plumber on lodge
poles. indicating that they had ne
horses at that date.
In 1116 the Spanish again worked
their way eastward across the plains,
and their letters tell of the astonish-
ment Of the Indians ut seeing the
horses they had with them. The eY-
petition was constantly losing horses

FOR WINTER SESSION
Congress Meets Monday, but Will
Adjourn Out of Respect to De-
ceased Members,

Washington, Dec. with the OPEN
ing Of the first regular session Of the
Sixty-first congress but two days
away, senators and representatives
from near and far are arriving in Wash
ington today.
Following a time-honored custom,
both houses will adjourn soon after
converting at noon on Monday out OF
respect to the memory Of those men,
bers who have died during the recess
of congress.
Senator Johnson Of North Dakota
died several weeks ago, and his sue
Cessr already has been chosen and
probably viii take the oath of office
on Tuesday.
Fountain L. Thompson Of CandO, n.
D., the new senator, is Democratic, al

ed by North Dakota's new Democratic

piTed term, which ends January 1, 1915
The deceased representatives are Da-
vid A. DeArmOnd Of the Sixth Missouri
district, who met death in a fire which
destroyed his home at Butler, No, only
few days ago, and Francis r. LASH
ter Of the Fourth Virginia district
Successors have not been elected in
either district.
Tuesday is likely to be devoted in
both houses to the reading Of President
Taft's message, and after that the law
makers should be able to get down to
business Immediately, as all the COM
mittee appointments and other details
of organization have been completed.
