December 26, 1923: "What is believed to be the greatest display of ungratefulness in the world is being shown for the faithful horse tribe here.

A California butcher has entered negotiations with the Klamath Indian service for the purchase of several thousand head of horses which are running wild on the Indian range. They are to be slaughtered for chicken feed and fertilizer.

The horses have become quite a menace to the cattle range owing to their great number. They run in abundance in the vicinity of the Sprague river.

The wild horses are descendants of the original Indian cayuses." (Madera Tribune)
