In contrast to the others he taboos all

"Thil man Creech Is never happy unless
ho Is broke , " remarked Jameson to Ithiodes
when the former left the telegraph job.
' 'But I'll back him for any amount , ' ' the
latter Is said to have answered , "because
we can't get along without him. "
For two months of last year he sup-
lrnrted sixty strawded AmerIcans and Eng-
lishinion at Fonte 'iiia , ninny of whom
died adere burled at his expense. On
a native holiday he rode Iuto.i3cirn and
bought out , a jewelry store , dIstrIbuting the

Ills swagger as ho rolls along the street
is a constaiit challenge in a. community
where physical prowess Is the only sate
passport , but even the burliest hesitate to
dislodge the chip , for Creech Is first anti
foremost a tighter and has worked hIs way
to ( ho top in a great measure through his
ability to takohardknocks.
Creech Is now 30 years old. He began a
checkereti career by running oft front home
to join the navy when 16 years of age. The
ticceptloli was cXpoctl , , by his family and lie

fever nearly finished him. lie landed itt
San Francisco with a fortune consIsting of
a curious palm lint , with which he bribed a
railroad conductor to carry him to l3utte.
At that time Butte was agitated over the
depredations oV"a galig of horse thieves ,
who had cratcd , a reign of terror. The
sheriff and htls too had been repulsed and
no on volunteered to make a second at-
tem1'
The sheriff finally succeeded In recruiting
Creoch as bus deputy. Single-handed , the
young fellow capturcd three of the thieves
wIth fourtcen horses and broke up the gang.
Ito became a terror to law breakers ,
liitt last act CB a deputy was to capture
the celebrated Indian outlaw Red Tongue ,
whose ethnics nrc still told to scare the
children , Creech trailed hint ( or days
across Prairies and plains and finally landed
hint after a desperate fight wIth knives.
After this the life became uneventful and

There Is one business that has not et
been crushed by ( ho war , and ( hat is the
export trade in horscs. In fact Europenn
are buying more American horses than
ever , it anything , anti It now scorns probable -
able that more than half at ( lie out
world's cavalry will ultimately be SUpplied
with American mounts ,
liiropcan faith in the American horse
for any purpose Is , comparatively , a new
thing , relates the Now York I'ress , It was
born of ( lie slump in hiors9flesh on this side
( lie sea and came with the trolley and bicy-
dc booing , Before that , American tirices
Were Invariably too high for the liiropca.n
pocket , but then the surplus Of horses soon
became so great as to cut prices two or
three times In half , reducing ( item below
the European figures in fact. This en-
cotiraged buyers from abroad , and heavy
shipments of horses soon began , It was
not long after the first consignment of
American linsts to the other side before
their sterling qualities were fully recognized -
nized , and today they are among the most
popular animals offered In any of thie great
European horse markets.
lhegtilar sales of avowedly American
horses are hold in London , Liverpool , fins-
cow , Brussels , Vienna , Berlin , Bologna , and
many minor cities , In truth few horse
ntictlons arc now held anywhere In Europe
at which American aninials are not of-
fc'reil ,
Nearly 70,000 horses were sent abroad from
the United States last year , Of these , 42-
070 were shlppetl front this hart alone , and
at ( lie lireseilt rate the total shiljiinents front
New Yor'a wilt be larger this year than last ,
"Most of the horses shipped here , " saId a
man who is intimately connected with the
expOrt ( ratio in horses to the writer ,
"are sent through two vell known stables ,
One located In the borough of Manhattan -
tan 011(1 the other across the river In
Iloboketi. Seven thousand went from the
lioboken stable last year antI 26,270 from
the one lit Manhnttan , while 8,800 were sent
front the scatterIng stables or put alrnard
ship dIrect front the cars as they came from
the vcst.
"At the present time shipments are going
forward in greater numbers and with greater
steadiness ( loin ever before. liegularly on
Saturdays the Atlantic Transport line of
steamers , plying between this lort antI Lou-
don , carries a cargo of 50 , while a like
number is also takeit cacti Saturday by ( lie
Wilson-Furniss line , sailing direct for Lou-
don. On Tuesdays regularly from 300 to
& 00 are taken by the big Vhite Star freight-
era , and on Saturdays there are shtllimeuit
of almost equal proportions by ( lie llrtmburg-
American boats. Besides , irregular ship-
menta go by the \Vilson line to hull , Gins-
gow and London , fortnightly shlpnients are
sent by the Phoenix line to Antwerp , nail
tramp steamers often include huorses in theft
cargoes ,
"It voiuld not be nsy to find out how
large a proportion of these horses are bought
for cavalry service , " the speaker continued ,
' 'but I have no doubt ( hint a large uiutnbei'
of those going to Austria find their way
into the cavalry than elsewhere. Unqucs-
tionably ( lie cavalry service of that country
now lnclutlcs thousands of horses bred out
this side the wafer.
"Austrian cavalry horses are undoubtedly
selected with greater care than these of any
other country. Ilorses with hoofs pointed
Inward or outward are invariably rejected.
To be acceptable ( lie hoofs should lotnt
straight. to the front , since horses with such
hoots are rarely subject to 'interference' or
'over-reaching , ' two vices whIch are consici-
ereti decidedly detrimental lit cavalry re-
inoutits. Horses with ewe necks and on.-
duly sloping shoulders are also thrown out ,
while , of course , the animal with a deep
chest , high withers nuid an arched neck is
always in ( lemand. American breeders have
lately been playing especial attentIon to
( Item points , and if the good work is con-
tintied right along ( lie demand in this cello-
try for European cavalry horses is sure to
increase almost indefinItely. "
France and 1ius'iia probably come next to
Austria as buyers of American horses for the
cavalry service. Russia buys them in great
numbers , openly , the santo as Austria ; but
not so France. Such a course , as the writer
was informed by the horseman abov quoted ,
would raise the biggest kind of a row among
the Gauls. They hold that everythIng bought
by the government should be produced in
France , if possible , and that French horses
are second to none In the world ,
This is unquestionably true with regard
to heavy animals for draught purposes , but
the French product of horses lit for cavalry
usc falls tar short of the demand. Anion-
can horsca get Into the service , however ,
through the hands of speculators , who buy
them at sales In Vienna , Bologna and
Brussels , and then take thieni to France ,
where they are turned out and kept for a
season , auid then sold to the government as
genuine French-bred animals.
The mounts of Germany's cavalry also In-
elude marty "Americans , " and , though they
are hot 50 popular there as in Austria or
Iltissin , they are gaining ground in the
ilominions at Emperor William every day ,
