Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 37, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 January 1909 — City Buys a New Horse. [ARTICLE]

City Buys a New Horse.

A new “Dewey” la being broken in by the city teamster, Chester Zea, and is a fine large horse, and a firstclass match for Prince, being about the same color and height, but not quite as good flesh. The new horse was purchased of Harvey Pearson for S2OO to trfh;tf the place of the old “Dewey” 6n the off side. The old horse is perfectly sound, but he was somewhat smaller than his mate, “Prince,” and he will now be sold. “Dewey” has taken his place in 'the off stall at the city fire engine htlfn and will be trained to run for his harness when the fire alarm sounds. The city probably never made a better investment tham it did in the purchase of a city team, which serves the double purpose of fire engine team and all other teaming purposes. And Chester Zea is the most industrious and all-around suitable man for the place of city teamster.
