was unusual in the shape of a privately
printed colloquy between his famous trot-
tiers Uhlan, 1:5S, and Lou Dillon, 1:5S1a.
The volume was profusely illustrated and
contained record of the races as well as
the breeding history of these horses, whose
deeds In harness and under saddle are as
we'll known on the Continent as in this
country through educational campaigns in
Russia and Germany.
Uhlan and Lou Dillon each had the dis
tinction of being the champion trotter of
the world, the mare from 1903 to 1912, and
the gelding from 1912 to 1921. Each holds
a strong place in the affections Of their
owner, who has them near him at Santa
Barbara, where he makes his winter home.
Lou Dillon is allowed to roam her paddock
at will but Uhlan at eighteen years of age
is ridden almost daily by his owner, and
has all the fire and dash of four-year- -old.
While Uhlan's record of 1:58 for a mile
was lowered to 1:57% by Peter Manning
last fall, there are SO many superb per-
formances to the credit of Niger" as the
horse is affectionately known in the Bill
lings household, that experts do not expect
to see his like again. For versatility the
equal of Uhlan, 1853, has never been
known. Nature endowed him with a dis
position so perfect that he has been ridden
by Mr.. Billingss ten-year-old grandson,
Halsted Wander Poel, Jr. His matchless
proportions and faultless gait have long
marked him as rare specimen of his kind.
Lou Dillon, 1:5Sk, was the possessor of
dazzling speed, and has to her credit
quarter of a mile in 25A seconds over the
New York Speedway. This is faster than
any other harness horse has ever been
timed and Is at the rate of mile in /: :43,
approaching the speed of the thoroughbred
at the gallop. She lacked the poise of the
black gelding, however, and was as tenn
peramental as a grand opera prima donna.
She has distinguished family to carry
along her greatness, and the closing days
of life are pleasant as will be noted from
her morning salutation of Uhlan 1853, to
which great trotter she Is greatly attached.
The little volume reoites the details of
busy lives here and abroad while under the
care of that master reinsman, Charles Tan
ner, who has been connected with the

horse interests of Mr.. Billings for so many
years. Lou Dillon, 1:5S1a, tells with COM
mendable pride of what she accomplished
within few weeks in 1903 when she
lowered the world record, defeated Major
Delmar, 1:59%, and trotted her famous
quarter in O:25A. That her owner was
her pilot on the two latter occasions has
special mention
Like a true gentleman, Uhlan, 1853, per-
mits the lady to have the floor, after which
he dwells on some Of the happy moments
of his own busy life. The pride he felt in
carrying King Albert of Belgium when he
joy it gave him to trot an eighth Of mile
under saddle in 13 seconds between the
races on the grass course at Saratoga in
August, 1914 This is at the rate of mile
in 1:44, and constitutes one of the many
worlds records to the credit of the black
champion. Mr.. Billings rode that day at
1872 pounds and the people Of Saratoga are
talking about the performance yet. There
was lot to say about the mile in 1:5S,
which made him champion away back in
1912, and the mile in 200 to wagon, driven
by his owner, was talked Of as one Of his
best efforts, though the mile in 2:02A over
the Goshen half mile course, which Is still
record, was also considered noteworthy.
Then there was the day he set the world
double team record at 2:03A with Lewis
Forrest as a mate to tell about. The oc-
casion when he went a mile In 1:541s
hitched with the thoroughbred gelding
Stats and made another worlds record was
discussed with his chestnut companion,
which deplored that they had not been
born at the same period so that lovers Of
good horse could have seen a contest
worth while.
That great affection which Mr.. Billings
has for his horses is known to those who
have the true spirit of the sportsman who
finds in his dumb animals sympathetic
companions. None of his horses has ever
raced for any reward other than a trophy
or ribbon and they generally die with
him or some Of his friends to whom he
presents them. He gets lot out of life in
the possession of such equine treasures
as Uhlan, 1:5S and Lou Dillon, 1:58h,
which are justly designated as "King and
Queen" on the title page of his beautiful
souvenir.

Jury Terms Coasting
Tragedy Unavoidable
at Close of Inquest

Special to The Tribune.
Butte. Dec. 23.-The accident IN
which two girls were killed and another
painfully injured last Sunday night,
unavoidable. according to the coro-
ner's jury after an inquest held here.
Myrtle Hammerstrom, Is, was instant
ly killed and Maxine, Dodge, ID, died
several hours after the accident from
injuries sustained when the sled on
which they were coasting down West
Galena street had collided with an
auto truck owned by Pete Carbllo.
Both girls have been buried and Miss
Ena GRUMPY is at her home with a
compound fracture of the right leg.
A heavy fog between Crystal street,
where the top of the hill is located,
and Clark street. where the collision
occurred, was partly responsible for
the accident, and an arc light on the
corner of Clark and Galena prevented
the girls on the sled from seeing the
auto, also prevented the driver of the
auto from seeing the girls and sled.
The street is one on which coasting
is permitted by the city authorities but
never at any time has there been any
police supervision. Steps are being
taken here to have signs placed on the
street calling attention to the. motorist
that the place is reserved for the chill
dren who are coasting, and it is hoped
that further accidents will be pre-
vented.

THROUGH MAILS
Postal Department Denies War
den and Owners Claim for
Lost MoIars.
{Tribune's Helena Bureau)

Helena. Dec. 23.-Elk teeth. when
not covered by a permit from the state
game warden. have no right in the
mails, are contraband aIieles and if
sent through the mails and lost i'll
transit cannot be recovered for. ac-
cording to a ruling by lie postmaster
general in connection with 4 Montana
case.
Nearly a year ago the attention Of
State Game Warden Jakways was
drawn by Postmaster Lindsay Of Hell
ena to a claim that had been filed in
New Mexico for the payment of gov
eminent insurance upon a consignment
of elk teeth lost in the mail.
Claim Is Filed
From the correspondence which had
been sent to the Helena office for ref
erence to the Livingston postoffice, it
was learned that Steve Elkins, a Vel
lowstone park guide, had purchased
from Jonas Bros. of Livingston, four
pairs of elk teeth for $120. Elkins
had taken the teeth with him to New
Mexico and had sold them to a party in
the east for $17O. sending them by
parcel post, after insuring them.
The teeth never reached the eastern
purchaser and Elkins filed a claim for
the recoyery of their value and the
postal authorities sent the correspond
nee to Montana for the purpose of
obtaining a receipted invoice.
After having been considered by
Warden Jakways the correspondence
was sent on to the Livingston post
office and in the course of about three
months it was returned accompanied by
the receipted invoice of Jonas Bros.
Arrested Firm Member
Making use of this invoice the game
warden went to Livingston where he
made the arrest of a member OF the
firm for the unlawful sale Of the teeth,
the latter pleading guilty to the charge
and paving a fine of S25 and costs,
Mr.. Jakways then put in to the gov
eminent a claim for the S170, il the
event the claim for insurance was to
be allowed. on the grounds that the
teeth were ~contraband property and
subject to confiscation by the state.
Acting Upon this latter claim the post
office department has just advised the
game warden's office that it will not
consider either the claim of the de-
partment or of Elkins for the reason
that elk teeth, being contraband, are
non-mailable.
