Show A Horse Thirty Feet High ----- - i - Professors Find Fossil and Cheyenne News Tells of Wondrous Possibilities. Out In Wyoming a lot of scientific grubbers have unearthed tho fossil remains re-mains of a horse 30 feet long and more than 30 feet high. The grubbers seem to have pieced tho horse together without any comment and they don't offer a word of Information concerning cither its genealogy or its track record says the Cheyenne News. "A horso 30 feet long would appear to be a lot of horso. If he belonged to the cavo man tho latter had his hands full. A horso so tall that a thirty-foot thirty-foot ladder becamo necessary when his bridle was to bo put on might well be called tho prldo of tho stable although al-though no ordinary stable would begin be-gin to accommodato him. If tho cave man hadn't any ladder and couldn't borrow ono, tho next best thing was to climb a trco, Then try to Imaglno him shinning up a tall palm with the heavy bridlcon his arm only to And when ho attained the right altitude that the horse had moved beyond reach and was peacefully peace-fully browsing on the tall grassof tho jungle. "Of course, a thirty-foot horse could ba expected to cover much moro ground than Iho ordinary animal of the samo breed oven at a walk. And If ho took It Into his head to work his way across lots there would appear to be nothing to Impede him. Fences would go down before him llko stubblo and a merely playful cavort would carry him over raging torrents "When a thlrty-foot horso shied at a bit of white paper In tho roadway thochancca aro that ho Jumped over Into the next county "As a war horso tho thlrty-footcr must havo been a startler. When ho let out a neigh tho enemy lied in blind and unreasoning terror. When ho champed his bit and pawed tho earth the very hills shuddered. When ho switched his tall tho hireling foe fell about him like ripened grain "And then think of ,tho nightmare that could bo expected to follow tho first sight of this prodigious cqulncl Ho certainly was a wonder. It Is a great pity we know so little about him. |
