FIRST HORSE 1s INCHES HIGH.
Thousands of These Equine Dwarfs
Pastured Here 2, 900 900 Years Ago.

The first horse that roarned the PLAINS
of America was just 16 inches high, ac-
cording to Prof Henry Fairfield Osborn,
considered the most eminent authority on
the subject.
Thousands Of these horses grazed to-
gether some 1000, 900 years ago, through
out America s vast West.
The first horses may have had FIVE toes,
the professor says, but the fossils Of the
earliest horses, found in the Bad Lands,
have but four toes. Later the horse lost
another toe, and today he is walking on
the nail of what was once his middle toe.
IF the leg OF the present day horse Is
dissected there will be found two splinters
of bone above the hoof, on either side Of
his leg, beneath the flesh.
While the horse first grazed in America,
the species died out here, and our modern
horses are descended from old world
stock
The first Of them TO arrive in America
were brought to Mexico by the Spanish
conquerors, and caused great fright TO
the people OF Montezuma, who thought
they were supernatural monsters.-De-

MIR. Lyons also stated that one company
would get Just as much as another com
pany.
After the general meeting Council
took the matter up IN committee, and
after President Lyon had stated that
there was no need for discussion, a motion
to adjourn was adopted.
TEMPORARY FIRE PLAN.
After adjournment Fire Chief Lutz and
several members of Council conferred on
steps to protect the city with the passing
of the six companies at midnight and the
chief stated he would take immediate
steps to arrange the districts for the re-
naming loyal companies.
The Friendship Co. was not connect
ed with the five belligerent companies,
but signifed its intention of ceasing its
service this year, without reference TO
any money matter, Councilman Null
vena suggested that Council purchase
all equipment and apparatus of the
Friendship Co. and have it placed in
service at once. No action was taken.
FIRST TEST OF LOYAL COMPANIES.
Events shaped themselves this morning
sofhat Wilmington. on its first day with
an abbreviated fire department, saw its
loyal companies taIn out for an alarm.
Shortly before Q o'clock an alarm was
sounded apparently from box No. 3, at
Tenth and Orange streets. However,
when the companies arrived there the
box was not open nor was there any
evidence of defective wiring. Crossed
wires are believed to have caused the
trouble.
A large crowd of people focked to the
box and more than the usua, interest was
manifested in the manner in which the
loyaI companies would act. All the COM
panies, even from the outlying districts,
were on hand within three minutes after
the alarm had been struck. Councilman
Alexander Abrahams, Chairman of Coun-
ellis fire committee was among the spetta-
tors who turned out to see what companies
had responded. None of the FIVE was there.
FRIENDSHIP SOUNDS TAPS.
At midnight last night the doors on the
quarters OF the Friendship Fire Co, No.
/, Tatna1l street above Tenth, were
closed and after l45 years o. continuous
service the company will respond to no
more alarms of fire. A meeting Of the mem
bers was held last night, but as far as
known nothing new developed.
During the meeting someone stretched
a red banner from pm upper window oi the
fire house of building on the other side
of the street, reading; Aoung Men Want

put up as a joke. II was still in place this
morning.
