HORSES STAMPEDE

?W
Camp Jackson reproduced in minia
ture yesterday a real wild Western
roundup.
( >ne thousand horses stanu>edod Mon
day night. and tearing through the cor
ral, went thundering through the can
tonment. Many of the animals were
i 1 1 at larjre yesterday afterncH?n. The
quartermaster department was busy
vhet-king and was unable late In the
day to determine if any of the animals
bad been lost.
The bursting of a watenuain at
the corral and the subsequent flourish
?>f a stream of water frightened the
horses and started them to weaving
and neighing and kicking. A column
of the animals "milled"' against the
fence, which was brushed aside by the
compounded weight of horse flesh ffilfl'
the thousand lior.ses and a few equally
sensitive young mules went through
the camp like an unmounted cavalry
charge, leaving huge clouds of dust In
their wake.
Running madly through the canton
ment the horses drove out in every
direction and some were caught ten
and 12 miles out in the country yes
terday. Lawns in several Columbia
yards were neatly chopped by a stray
horse here and there cr
trlously fbr provender whJrttl
(frnment did not rustle.
Some of the horses struck
the swamps and j*ot where Aral
could not be established,
to bo helped out. One /itfd
down to neck in the^ouun
to be dragged out by the
motor truck.
Earlier in- the season Ik J
