THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SMALL HORSE IMAGES FOUND BY EXCAVATORS Early American Natives Pictured Animals Strange to Them. Bn Science Service MEXICO CITY, Sept. 22.—Funny little horses of baked clay have been discovered among broken pottery unearthed by government achaeologists in excavations downtown in this old city. The horse figures are among the earliest efforts of American natives to represent in art the strange animals white men brought from Europe. Horses ridden by Cortez and his followers were the first in the new world since geologic ages, when wild horses in various stages of evolution roamed the country and vanished. How mysterious the anatomy of the horse seemed to the amazed Aztecs is well shown in the statues. Although one horse has a rider on him, and another a pack on his back, the two look more like dogs. The Aztecs called the Spanish horses “mazatl” or deer. # In the only Indian version known to describe the conquest of Mexico City, a document preserved in Aztec by the Spanish Monk Sahagun the natives speak of supplying food for Cortez’s deer.
