Horses and Mules, Worn
In Service, Are Sold

Condemned because they are no longer
serviceable in the strenuous regular
army maneuvers, f1fty-eight horses and
four mules that once We're valuable
animals, today were auctioned off at
Fort Myer. There was a gallery of
fifty bidders, and some of the animals
brought good prices. The sale started

artillery drills. Some Of them a few
years ago were high spirited animals,
but now they are fit only for slow, light
work.
