EXTINCTION OF
EARLY EQUINES
Much Mystery Surrounds Disap-
pearance of American Horse
Attributed by Some to
Increasing Cold

Over three centuries ago, at the
time of the Spanish conquest, there
was not to be found in the new
world, SO it has been practically
proved, single animal that answered
to the description of the horse.
Horses. indeed. which the Spanish
brought with them, were objects at
first of great terror to the natives.
who took them to be four-legged su-
pernatural beings come purposely to
aid the conquerors. Yet recent re-
search by the Whitney mission has es-
tablished beyond doubt that long be-
fore Columbus the Americas we're
overrun by horses from the noun
tains of Alaska to the plains OF Pata-
gonia. says Harper's Weekly.
In 1926 the chance discovery in New
Jersey OF an equine fossil of an un-
known kind. led to more methodical
investigation of America, with the re-
suit that prehistoric horse bones
have been found in California and Or

the Carolinas; in Texas. Florida and

slopes of the Rocky mountains. Horses,
too, must have been numerous in this
country previous to the appearance of
man, researches having brought to
light their fossilized remains mixed ND
with pottery and the stone arms of
cave dwellers.
How is it, then, that the equine race.
represented in America by kinds of
fossils considerably more numerous
than in Europe. came for a time to
vanish from this country to reappear
thousands OF centuries later with the
Spanish conquest? For but a ceutry
after Cortez there were already in ex-
istence herds of wild horses in the
regions of the mata and the prairies
of the far west.
By some this temporary extinction
Of the American horse has been at
tributed to the Increasing cold and the
encroachments of the glacial hemis-
phere. 1t is certain that the elephant
and camel disappeared at the same
time. Another explanation is that the
horses succumbed to a malady such is
the 'rinderpest" in South Africa.

may possibly have been a species of

NEVADA GIRL
IN MALE GARb
LEAVES HOME AND FRIENDS AT
pIOCHE TO FOLLOW THE
FORTUNES OF A HOBO
APOSTLE OF FREE LOVE.

Fully attired in male garb and
beating 1t from II town to anoth-
er as a hobo with a man for whom
she fed from a quiet and peaceful
home. Rose Foster, aged 23 years,
daughter of Joseph Foster, a mining
man of Phoebe, Nevada, vas arrested
and taken to the police station.
In company With ner was Frank
Collier, an apostle of "free-love"
marriage, who had enticed the girl
to leave her home and beat" 1t with
him across the country with the
promise that they would &c to his
home in Pennsylvania and live a
happy and secluded life.
At the police station the girl broke
down and in a ehoked voice said:
Yes, / once loved him, but now |
hate him and want to go back to my
mother at Phoebe"
The story of the wooing and flight
of the young girl, who can neither
read. nor write, from her peaceful
home in Phoebe with the man who
professed To love her who later at
tempted to make her live a life of
shame, reveals a tale of illiteracy

girl, who was a waitress In a res
taurant in Phoebe. met Collier about
six months ago. AT that time he had
just completed a term in the Phoebe
Jail for breaking Jail at c%aliente, Ne
vada. where he was being held on
the charge of petty Larceny.
Each day the two met in the res
taurant and their friendship became
more warm. In June Collier propos-
ed to the young girl and was accept
ed. The father of the girl, however,
knowing the past of the man who
wished to marry his daughter, asked
the county clerk not to give a marri-
age license. His request was granted
and after several unsuccessful at
tempts TO get married the two decid-
ed to run away.
As Collier had little money and as
ne had already borrowed all that the
girl had, they discovered that IL was
next TO useless to attempt to go by a
passenger train. On June 22 Collier
presented a piece of paper which he
told the girl would unite them in
marriage If she signed It. As she
could not read and could only write
her name, she attached her signature
to the piece of paper and was made
to believe that they were married. On
July 90, as their life at Phoebe was
becoming more d~isagreeable, they de-
cided to run away.
After the girl had dressed as a
man, cutting short her hair. they left
Phoebe on the night of July 26 and
walked TO Panaea. a distance of
twelve miles. Here they swung
under a freight train and rode the
rods as far as Caliente. At Caliente

CONSERVATION
At CONGRESS
WILL BE ONE OF THE LEADING
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
AT MEETING OF MINING MEN
IN LOS ANGELES.

The coming meeting of the Ameri-
can Mining Congress is %arousing
more interest than any other on &C
count of the conservation question
alone, declares j. F. Callbreath, Jr.,
secretary of the organization. He
has been in consultation with many
of the members of the congress as to
what will be done relative toward the
holding of the next meeting at Los
Angeles this fall.
THE conservation question is of
vital Importance to the western
miner and for that reason there Is
more interest shown in working out
this problem than ever before" said
the secretary. Il have talked with
many who have never thought of at
tending a meeting, but will do so this
year for just that reason.
"The two bills hal have been pre-
sented in the senate for the eonserva-
ton of alone is sufficient
to call attention to this question.
Take for instance a power company.
Under these bills If the transmission
lines wish to cross mining property
that is at present a prospect, the
owner might see much in the ground
but he is not telling any one. If he
wishes TO use the power he must
deed the property back to the govern
ment and take a lease for the ground
How many men are going to do it?
This is only one of many things along
the same line.
The senator who presented the bill
wishes TO do something for the west,
but mo- knowing conditions and any
thing about mining. there was m
thing wrong. 1t is the general belief
that If the west can get together and
agree upon something, agree upon
some general platform, it will get it.
This will be one of the efforts of the
coming mining congress.
According to Mr.. Callbreath two
days will be devoted to the discussion
of the conservation question which
has been one of the chief topics of
discussion in the west during the
past year. Among the speakers on
this question at the meeting will be
Clifford Pinchot. One good thing
about the question will be that all
sides will have a chance and a COM
mittee will be asked to embody all
the best of the ideas in a platform
which will endeavor to be a plat
form of the western attitude toward
the question.
The old discussion of increasing
the use of silver will be discussed. as
we'll as a uniformity of the mining
laws of the several western states.
Although Los Angeles has planned
a royal reception for the visitors it
I will not be allowed to interfere with
the business of the congress. Mon
day and Saturday are the only days
of the week that will be given oyer
to pleasure, the remaining days will
be for the business of the congress.

they were thrown off the train and
after waiting some time they got into
a boxcar and rode as far as Milford.
Between these stations a brake
man found them in the car and
threatened to throw them off unless
he was given a piece of pocket"
money. Collier had 50, which he
gave the brakeman, and they rode in
safety to Milford. At Milford they
were again compelled to leave the
train and after waiting for some
time they caught a blind" baggage
and rode into Salt Lake.
The clothes which the young
woman wore were given to Collier by
a fellow prisoner at Phoebe. They
consisted of a pair of trousers, a
sailor hat, a white shirt, collar and
tie. and a coat and a large pair of
heavy shoes. When this city was
reached, Collier told the girl that
this was as far as they could go for
some time, and attempted to make
her hustle on the streets TO get
something to eat. This she refused
to do. so Collier went from house to
house begging. The girls clothing,
which she had brought from Phoebe
was hidden under a bridge near
Sixth West and Ninth South streets.
Wednesday night, after she had
repeatedly refused, Collier told the
girl If she did not go out ION the
street. he would brain" her. Be-
coming frightened, the young girl
told her troubles TO some of the other
hoboes with whom the two had been
sleeping in box cars. One of the
the police station.
When the police arrived at the
designated place they found the
young oma and her pal" lying in
a pasture a short distance from the
railroad tracks. The two were taken
TO the police station and later the
girl took the police to the place
where her clothes had been placed.
These were taken to the police
station and she was again attired in
her own dress.

condition, talked freely of her past.
