T WALKING HORSES BOUGHT BY CUPP Camp White, Oct. 12 Trag edy last night struck at the fam ily of Sgt. Michael Scirrotto of Camp White when his car be came involved in an accident at Gothenburg, Neb., killing the Sclrrotto's baby and critically in juring Mrs. Scirrotto. The couple had Just completed a 15-day furlough on the east coast where Sgt. Scirrotto's par ents had seen their grandson for the first time, and were return ing to Camp White. Another Camp White soldier, Cpl. Paul I rock, was in the car at the time. Frock was also returning from furlough after visiting his par ents at Hanover, Pcnn. Both Sgt. Scirrotto and Cpl. Frock are members of the Camp White SCU band. Exact extent of the injuries Is unknown. Mr. and Mrs. John Cupp, own ers of Snowy Butte Ranch at Central Point, recently returned from a 30-day trip to Tenessee where they purchased two car loads of registered Tennesee walking horses. The 32-head consists of 17 head of brood mares and 15 head of young fil lies and geldings, Cupp reports. According to Cupp, the brood mares are in foal to the finest stallion in Tenessee and will be kept on Snow Butte Ranch, the home of "Chocolate Soldier," Cupp's fine registered Tenessee walking stallion. The ranch owner reports increased Interest In Tennessee walking horses and the demand is far greater than the supply of good, registered horses. The Cupps find It increasingly hard to keep Chocolate Soldier in the west, he reports, increas ing offers for him by breeders in Tennessee tempting the couple to sell the horse back where he came from, but at present the Cupps are determined to keep Chocolate Soldier, along with the j band of brood mares, in Oregon 1 and at Snowy Butte Ranch. Mr. Cupp reports the sale of j Chocolate Major, a five-months ' old stud colt, sired by Chocolate j Soldier, for a top price of $1000, and he believes that the fine colts 1 sired by Chocolate Soldier prove his worth as fine breeding stallion.
