Uold.uD Starts Battle.

Juarez,. Mex. Aug IA pitched
battle was fought in this city yester-
day between mounted police and a
night patrol of ex-insurrecto soldiers.
The entire city was awakened and
for some time it was feared that a
band of liberals had attacked the
town The shooting, however, was
the result of mistake. An American.
J. l.. Lepoint, had been held up and
robbed in Juarez. The mounted po-
lice mistook the soldiers for robbers.

cies of the various members is OBJ
tanned The horse may be moved
around, first at walk and then at n
trot, to afford the judge a broadside
view. This should be followed by a
careful study of the animal as he
walks from and to the observer and
is then led away and back at trot.
The examination may then follow in
detail. This analytical work is best
accomplished by means of the score
card.
The student should learn to use his
eyes rather than his hands in judg-
ing. The eye is master of the situa-
ton. The hand should only be used
as an assistant to the eye. 1t may be
used when the eye cannot unaided de-
termine a question of quality, size,
condition or soundness. For example,
the eye sees plumpness of flesh, but
the hand must be used to decide its
depth on the ribs-or other part; or
the eye detects what appears to be
bone SPAWN and the hand by feeling
corroborates or disapproves the sus-
picion. AS a general rule much han
ding is to be avoided by the student.
Excessive handling suggests lack OF
confidence, experience and mature
judgment 1t betokens the amateur.
Purpose of Score Card.
The use Of the score card in judg-
ing teaches the student to analyze
the component parts of the horse one
by one until he becomes thoroughly
efficient in estimating the value Of all
points combined in the animal. Prac-
tice with it will, in time, enable him
to rapidly look over a horse, note its
good and bal points and arrive at a
correct estimate of its value. For the
beginner who would become a capable
judge of horses, it is necessary a..
first to examine each of the points on
the score card. The experienced Judge
does not use score card in the judg
ing ring.
The points" or parts of the horse,
referred to above are shown in ac-
companying figure. They should be
thoroughly learned by the student and
then demonstrated to the teacher
The teacher should explain the char
acters of an ideal draft horse. They
will aid the student to form correct
impression of what should constitute
an ideal draft horse. Then repeated
Judging Of many widely different
horses by the score card cannot fail
to make an intelligent horse judge OF
the one who earnestly strives TO be-
come proficient in this useful art

ton would have been long deferred had not
advancing years compelled Mrs. Logan to cur
tail her domestic responsibilities.
General Logan's widow has been for years
the recipient of pension of several thousand
dollars a year-one of the largest annuites
paid by Uncle Sam to any woman except the
widows of presidents-and this income, coIn-
bined with the revenue from her extensive
literary work, enabled her to maintain for
years handsome residence on the heights
overlooking Washington and the United States
capitol building, where her late husband had
a notable career United States senator fol
lowing his service in the army. When, how
ever, the care of this residence became too
much for Mrs. Logan some disposition had to
be made of the great relic collection which
had overlooked the entire house and had oc-
cup1ed in particular one immense room, which
was in effect memorial museum. Included
in the collection, it may be explained not
only the books formerly owned by General
Logan and many volumes bearing upon him,
as we'll countless pictures of the swarthy
warrior, but his swords, battle flags, the gifts
and decorations bestowed by individual admir-
ers and the United States and foreign govern
ments, and even the mounted figure of the
famous war eagle that was so conspicuously
identified with Logan's command during the
most trying periods of the war.
Easily the most imposing existing memorial
to General Logan is the handsome equestrian
