City Boiler Inspector Bob" Wolfe is, or

cred a regular Bucephalus, close kin to
Rarus,, and of the same strain as famed
Abdallah. FRA
Among other city hall attaches, however,
a different opinion was held. Assistant
Gas Commissioner Butler asserted once
that 1t took Wolfe and his horse from early
yesterday to the day after tomorrow to
travel from his home to a boiler plant out
north. Tom Flynn Is credited with saying
that II a fly didn't move any faster than
Wolfe's horse It would starve to death.
Recently Mayor Dahlman was starting
from the city hall TO lunch at the
Henshaw, Wolfe was just unhitchlng his
horse at the front door.
"Jump in. mayor, aid tn take you down
in my buggy said Mr.. Wolfe, with impress
sive generosity.

Wolfe either sold or shot the horse, as the

no valid reason why the whole course OF
education should not maintain the same In
