 county, near Cynthiana, Ky. Died, April, 1879, tne property of Messrs. 

 Victor & McKee. W. M. Dills writes : "He never had an equal as the getter 

 of fine-styled roadsters and fancy drivers". 



B. J. Treacy, one of the best known breeders of Kentucky, says, in his 

 catalogue, of Indian Chief : " He was, in his day, one of the most beautiful 

 horses that ever lived, and almost invincible in the show ring. His daugh- 

 ter, Lady de Jarnette is the greatest show mare in America, and sold for 

 $5000 ; and when the friends of President Garfield were looking for the 

 finest team in America, they bought a pair of Indian Chiefs". 



He was the winner of the Champion sweepstakes at the St. Louis fair in 

 1878, in a ring of 63 entries. He was never trained, but was naturally a bold 

 trotter, and showed speed. J. M. Victor and M. S. McKee state in an 

 advertisement in a Kentucky paper that the dam of Ned Forrest was by Salt- 

 petre, from a full-blood Morgan mare.
