 "Wallace's Monthly" of December, 1878, it is stated by David Baircl, Springfield, X. V., that

 stallion "Trifle," got by Andy Johnson, owned by him, son of old Columbus, Canadian. Mr. 

 Fish writes: "When I bought her I was going to Canada to buy horses and had a load of 

 fresh fish. Had a big French stallion that got cast in his stall and killed. The place was 

 about twenty-five miles from Manchester, north on the main road to Canada. I stopped at 

 the village hotel. I do not remember name of place or hotel. I went right west of the 

 village to get the colt. The harness-maker told me about the colt.''

 gait; a perfect carriage horse, and was calculated by all horsemen to have the most speed 

 and endurance of any horse ever raised in Wisconsin."
