Tanning a Wild Horse.

They will not submit to mans ruIe
and are therefore unserviceable.
They become badly frightened when
a man approaches nearer than two or
three rods of them.
The Russians claim that by
methods of comparative anatomy and
in other ways they have proven that
the Cobb desert horse is a distinct
species of the genus horse. The
name, forelock and tail are not un-
like the domestic animal, and, like
them, they neigh and snort. Most
naturalists have, until now, believed
that the true wild horses with an
unbroken line of wild ancestry were
extinct.
1t is the general opinion that the
horse of today was mainly
derived from three wild species, which
have been named the steppe, forest
and plateau varieties. The Cobb
horse is a representative of the
steppe variety. This horse in its
wild state lives in the level districts
and goes at night to the pasture lands
and drinking places. At break of day
it returns to the desert, where 1t rests
until sunset.
When there are nursing colts in
the herd the animals always rest
in the same place. They usually
walk n behind the other, so that
the region where they live is covered
with deep tracks.

100000 In Gold Awaits Claimants

e ENATOR REED SMOOT of Utah,

public life, cannot get used to the
campaigns waged against his religion.
The protest against placing the like
ness of Brigham Young upon the sill
yer service that is to be presented to
the battleship Utah by the citizens of
the state caused Senator Smoot to
make a call upon the secretary Of the
navy recently and explain to him the
facts in the case.
The proposition is to have engraved
upon the silver service likeness OF
the pioneer monument that stands at
the head of Main street, Salt Lake
City. This monument was erected at
the very spot where the pioneers OF
that state, 142 in number, camped
when they went into that wilderness
to carve out a new empire. All OF
them were Mormons and Brigham

Can't Fathom Fight on Mormons

Young, the prophet, was their leader,
so that in addition to having the
names of all of them carved upon the
stone statue of Young stands, life
size, at the top of the monument.
There is no religious significance to
the statue or to the proposition to
engrave the likeness upon the silver
service, Senator Smoot explained to
Secretary Meyer, although it happens
that the pioneers were Mormons.
The senator also stated that the
committee having in charge the selec-
ton of the silver for the battleship
and the designation of the design, is
composed of Mormons and non Nor
mons and they are unanimously in
favor of engraving picture of the
monument upon the service. The re-
suit of the senator's talk was that
Secretary Meyer will stand pat and
not interfere. To all who protest he
says that the silver service is vol
nntary gift from the people of Utah
and the department has no right to
stipulate as to- the design. The same
attitude was assumed by the depart
ment when the people of Mississippi
presented to the battleship of that
name a silver service with the like
ness of Jefferson Davis. president of
the Confederacy, engraved upon it.
