‘‘Highland Chief,’’ the imported 
hackney which Judge Wm. H. Moore 
recently bought to take the place of the 
famous ‘‘ Forest King’”’ in his string of 
show horses, died at the Pride’s Crossing 
stable of the Judge last Friday from 
pneumonia. ‘‘ Forest King,’’ it will be 
remembered, had to be shot last spring. 
The new horse was at the Louisville 
show with others, and while there con- 
tracted pneumonia, due to bad stabling,

Tuesday week it did not seem to im- 
prove, and it died Friday.
