ARAB ENDURANCE

Colt Not Yet Four Years Old Carries
Major Tompkins to the End of
Chase After Villa.

NEW YORK, May 23.-Halcyon,
winner of the endurance race arranged
by the Morgan Horse club at the Yer
mont state fair a few years ago, is NJ
Dqrland's riding academy, doing ser
vice as a school horse, ridden b. Mrs,
Jessie Won Klein, in giving riding les
sons. Halycon is an Arab, but she
looks like an old fashioned American
thoroughbred of the type prominent in
the DAYS when race horses had to run
four miles and repeat to make repu-
tation. When she won the endurance
race she travelled 154 miles, up Hill and
down, over country roads, in 30 hours
and 40 minutes, with $50 pounds on
her back. She is barely - hands high,
vet she outlasted the larger horses and
outiumped them too, having won the
broad jumping competition at one Of
the New England shows last year by
clearing % feet.
Halcyon S colt Kingfsher, four years
old next month, is somewhere IN
Mexico with the troops that have
been chasing Pancho Villa. Colonel
Spencer Borden, who bred him, pre-
scented him to Major Frank Tompkins
of the Thirteenth Cavalry, who rode him

child murder, Helen Godleski, a Polish
woman boarding with Florence Bailey
on Grant avenue, was arrested late
Saturday by Deputy Sheriff D. A.

mother in a cruel and revo1t.ng man

The charge is infantieide, equivalent
to murder, and the Godlesld woman

without the lamb being on the in
side, the minks and the weasel stood
up with the rabbits and placed their
forefeet on the plow beam to keep
their heads above the water. Not one
of them crawled up on the plow han
dies. 1t was agreed. perhaps, that they
should share alike in the benefits of
the beam. The minks did not take
advantage of their ability to crowd
the rabbits off the higher parts of the
plow.
The weather was too cold. The feet
Of the animals froze 20 the beam. The
trapper decided to take home a rab-
bit and return for the rest of the fell
low sufferers. But so tightly were
the rabbits forefeet frozen to the
steel that they were released at the
shoulder joints and remained hanging
when the trapper caught the rabbit by
the hindquarters and started for
home When he returned the weather
had moderated and the prisoners had
been released.
A first-rate example of "the un-
usual which always is news. The
most remarkable feature of the story
was, however, sighted. Mink pelts are
worth from 81 to $3.50 each. So there
was at least S10 worth of mink fur in
sight when the trapper was content to
carry home a two-legged rabbit and
return some other day to get the
minks. A remarkable trapper.
