O’NEILL MAY HAVE A REMOUNT STATION O'Neill may be designated by the government as a remount station for the breeding of cavalry horses for the U. S. army. Holt county long has been noted for its breeding of race horses, particularly of running horses, the strain of stock the government is fostering for the cavalry service, and for which the breeders have always found a ready market. The county’s horse four hundred has been augment ed by the addition of two animals of royal blood just acquired for the rac ing stable of Sheriff Peter W. Duffy, whose two famous mares, Salvaboron and Miss Bagdad have been getting in the money frequently at the Omaha meet. The two new members of the Duffy stables are Rameau and Truant, noted racing stallions, both bred abroad. Rameau, by Etlebert, is the i holder of the American two and one quarter mile record. His dam is Rox anna, who has a mile record of 1:38, a daughter of Rozann. He was bred in France, by August Belmont. Tru ant is by Day Comet, out of Pure Lily, and was brqd in Ireland. The two famous animals and Miss Bagdad ar rived in O’Neill Tuesday in charge of their trainer and will spend the sum mer and fall here, probably going to Havana and the southern tracks for the winter racing season. Salvatoron wiii continue om the circuit during the summer racing season in the east and in Canada. Rameau, Truant and Miss Bagdad will show with a number of other fast ones at the races a part of the program of the American Legion I’outlh of July celebration here next Wednesday. The acquisition of Rameau and Truant to Holt county racing blood it is declared by stockmen will give ad ditional weight to O’Neill’s application for designation as a remount station, the nearest one at present being at Crawford in which territory racing blood has become depleted. Rameau’s former owner refused a government Offer of $24,000 for him. __ ALL SET FOR BIG FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION — All is in readiness for the big free Fourth of July celegration to be staged by the American Legion next Wednes day.
