Famous Horse Found Dead

Isaac Manger’s famous Bashaw Jr., widely known among horsemen as Manger’s Bashaw, was found dead in his stall at Washington. His age was 23 years, and a few years ago he was one of the fastest trotters in Iowa, having a record of 2:25 ½. He has been a familiar figure on many race racks in Iowa and other states.
