TESTIMONY OF OTHERS, 



CHAPTER XIV. 



The following is a local or sketch that contains my 

 name the first time it was ever in print: 



JESSE BEERY. 



Prior to the days of Professor Earey, horse taming 

 was regarded as a humbug, but he demonstrated be- 

 yond a doubt that the most vicious horse could be sub- 

 dued and rendered subservient to man through kind- 

 ness. Since then quite a number have distinguished 

 themselves as trainers of the noble animal. One of 

 the most successful trainers in this part of the countr}'' 

 at the present time, is the gentleman whose name 

 heads this sketch, Mr. Beery is yet very young, but 

 when a small boy he evinced a talent for training colts, 

 and as soon as he w^as old enough to investigate the 

 subject, he devoted his whole time to training horses. 

 He takes any kind of a horse and trains it for its owner, 

 chardns: onlv a reasonable fee for his services. 



The next is an announcement of my first public 

 exhibition, given about two miles from home, Sept. 

 1st, 1888. My admission fee was twenty-five cents.
