Fire sirens moaned = dirge for Old
Tom, last OF the city's gallant fire
horses, last night as he lay dead in
his pasture at the Blue Plains Gov
ernment reservation.
Last Of the unforgettable trio-Bar-
ney, Gene and Tom-the great dapple
gray steed, weakened by the infirmi-
ties Of age, died shortly before sun
down.
A few hours later the sky on the
distant horizon turned red as q stable
caught fire in the 4700 block Of Mich

sounded at the Home for the Aged
and 1nf1rm, at Blue Plains.
From the distance came the vail

ways caused Old Tom to cock his ears,
shake his great head and paw the
earth restlessly
1t was sound that brought back
visions Of the days a quarter OF q
century ago when Tom, a powerful
3-year-old gelding, became a fire
fighter. Visions Of racing with his
white harness mates, names waving,
nostrils fiaring, sparks flying from
their iron-shod hooves.
Veteren firemen still talk Of the
prowess and intelligence of Barney
Gene and Tom-of how they strained
their great hearts and powerful
muscles to drag heavy apparatus
through blizzard to the scene Of the
Knickerbocker Theater disaster when
motorized equipment broke down in
the drifts.
But it was the despised motorized
equipment that raced by Old Tom s
pasture last night. AS the apparatus
returned slowly from the fire, watch

come for the body Of Old Tom 1t was
the first intimation the flremen had
that the gallant old horse had died.

Denhart on charge OF numbering
his sweetheart, Mrs. Verna Carr Tay-
lor, lined up for closing arguments
today before submitting the case tc
the jury.
The jury which heard eight hours
of argument, at times bitter, yester-
day, was instructed by Circuit Judge
Charles G. Marssall it could acquit
the 61-year-old war veteran or return
a verdict calling for a sentence rang
ing from a Jail sentence to death In
the electric chair. Under the courts
instructions the jury of II farmers
and one filling station operator could
convict the general of flrst-degree
murder, voluntary or involuntary
manslaughter or a misdemeanor.
During the impaSsioned pleas OF
counsel Judge Marshall frequently
had to caution the crowd which
packed the court room against aHy
demonstrations. A disturbance on the
stairways caused the Judge to order
the doors closed.
Leveling finger at the portly gen.
eral, special prosecutor J. Ballard
Clark asked the jury to impose the
death penalty. Gen. Denhardt, who
told the jury last week that he loved
the attractive La Grange, KY, widow
too much to have killed her and indi-
Gated that she shot herself because OF
worry over the jealousy" Of q rival

Crab Spider (Misumena aleatoria)

cruising insects visit the flower. Her
first pair Of legs are very much longer
than the others. These she holds out
in such manner as to initiate a part
OF the flowers stamens. Along comes
a fine plump insect. It may be
butterfly or a bee, both equally we,-
come. AS soon as the unwary insect
settles down for her sip Of nectar, she
is seized by the hunter. The struggle
is short. The spider may retreat to a
more remote place to feast, or she may
truss up her victim to dine upon later
1t Is not unusual for flower lover
to bring in bunch Of goldenrod oc-
cupied by the lady spider and her
banquet. These crabs are perfectly
harmless, and should be permitted to
remain on their hunting ground.
If disturbed one may drop to the
ground on a silken thread and amble
away aWkwardly, later to be found
talking on a color that will help to
protect her. Though her eyes are
small. they are very bright. She is
not a web maker, preferring high
handed methods of strategy. Her silk
cocoon is formed of two equal parts,
Joined at the border, which makes the
silk purse appear to have a soft fringe.
After the eggs are laid, the mother
spends most of her time guarding
them, and stays until the spiderlings
hatch. She partakes of no food, and
wastes away by the time her family is
launched into the world.

After a rest and perhaps little

appeal to her. She has been keeping
an eye on him from her citadel on
the beautiful goldenrod. She may or
may not have decided to accept him.
That remains to be seen. If a more
likely and portly chap should come
along, the first suitor has no chance
He should consider this an act of
providence. since most spider matrons

They always select whites or very

pictured here can hide so expertly on

not so eager to show themselves. and

OF course, you will enjoy witnessing it.
