Officials Deny
Sheridan Horse
Switching Tale

By the Associated Press.
The Smithsonian Institution gal
loped forth with a denial today that
somebody has changed Gen. Philip
Sheridan's famous stuffed horse.
dwelling the steed in a new glass
stall, ofhcials said the charger of
Sheridans celebrated Civil War ride
has just changed color through de-
terioration.
Historically. it's embarrassing, but:
When he flew over the frostbitten
countryside with Little Phil" astrad-
dle-the horse was black.
Today, 73 years later-he's roam.
Stories of horse-switching in the
Smithsonian got started when an ell
derly student OF Civil War history
complained the museum was exhibit
ing a roam horse where a black one
ought to be.
A few days later the institution de-
cided to put the horse in a new and
much smaller glass case. They boarded
him up while the work was going on.
That famed the fire of suspicion.
The horse has two names-Win-
chester and Reinzi. If anybody wants
proof OF authenticity, the institution
has the generals signature saying it's
the right animal.
