end that the article may serve a
double purpose, viz: A brief di-
rectory for breeder and patron and
to let outsiders know that Audrain
county is keeping fully abreast of
the times in the matter other horse
interests. No county in Missouri
has advanced as rapidly in this
very important industry as ours.
Mexico is known far and near as
1.-The Lexington of Missouri" and
well does she merit the name.
Most any day when the tracking
season begins better speed and
more horses can be seen ON the
course at the Mexico Fair Grounds
than in any town in Kentucky; in
tact, Missouri has given Kentucky
the flag in the matter of speed and
saddle horses.
ELM STOCK FARM.
This magnificent stock farm is
located 6 ID miles southeast of
Mexico and five miles northeast of
Auxvasse, and is owned and oper-
ated by r. T. Freeman & Son.
he very best or nothing" is the
principle on which Bob Freeman
has founded this stock farm. He Is
pre-eminently the jack and mule
man of Audrain. His horse stock,
too, is the very best. Here can be
found that grand Kentucky saddle
and harness stallion, Duluth Chief
tain. He was sired by old Duluth,
by Cabel's Lexington, by Blood's
Black Hawk. Duluth ChIeftain's
dam was by Orphan Boy; second
dam by Copperbottom.
Tipperary, Jr., another fine COM
bined saddle and harnes horse, can
be found at the same place. Tip
perary was sired by Ringold, by
Boston; dam, Roxana, by imported
Chesterfield.
There are four of the best jacks in
the country in Freeman & Sons
stables, viz: Sam Jones, Sweet
Singer, Grover Cleveland and Ex-
cell. Sweet Singer, Excel and
Grover Cleveland are splendid
jennet jacks.
We desire to especially call at
tention to a finely bred young horse
owned by this firm and bred by the
Mccormick Live Stock Company of
Bowling Green. viz: Mr.. Cleve-
land. by Aytoun 14083, record,
2::29 IA. Mr.. Cleveland is a half
brother to Miss Cleveland, 2:25 ga,
and is out of Jewell, by Missouri
Oscar. Jewell was never tracked
but can go in considerably less
than three minutes. Nj. Caeve-
land, with proper handling, ought
to make a fine record, as he is bred
Just right for it. His sire, Aytoun,
Is a grand trotting horse.

SAN JOSE JOE.

A Monster Tiger Shark That Was Known
Co All Shippers of tho Pacific Coast.
There is on exhibition In q Stewart
street saloon in the shape of photo.
graph "all that is mortal" Of as; n Jose
joe" San Jose Joe was in his lifetime
a shark, and was better known along
the coast from Guatemala to Panama
than any skipper sailing the Pacific.
and he was an object of general re-.
spect. too.
The first known to the men who tell
6sh stories, says the San Francisco
Daily Report, is that he came into
prominence about fourteen years ago
by taking on cargo OF two natives
who were enjoying the luxury of sea
bath on the Guatemala coast Like
"Old Brin," the grizzly of the Sierras.
his reputation as u maneater increased
rapidly, and he was given credit for the
havoc wrought by all the sharks in the
district he infested. Joe" had certain
route which he worked" and it was
early noticed that his weather eye was
always open for n choice morsel with a
line attached to it. The expression on
his countenance when the ships cook
would cast him wcll-larded shank was
edifying to behold. But he had
human contempt for people who gave
donations with string TO them"
Mariners on the west coast of Central
America, after experimenting with q
hook on Joe" for some time, at length
discarded that method of effecting his
capture and resorted to firearms. The
amount of lead Joe had fired into him
with all sorts Of firearms no doubt
added to his weight. but it had no ap-
preciable effect on his buoyant spirits
or on his appetite for bathers and lone
rowboats.
But about four months ago. as the
United States steamer Ranger was
lying in the harbor of San Jose de
Guatemala, the noted shark came
alongside and cast a hungry glance
toward the cook house. Capt. Reiter
armed himself with a harpoon and
entered Il dingy lying aft lie was so
fortunate rs to get an opportunity for
landing the harpoon in vital spot;
and, in short order, the old shark, who
had terrorized the coast for so many
years, was lying an inert mass on the
calm waters. The carcass was hauled
on board and photographed. Measure
ments were then taken. and "Joc's"
body was weighed His weight was
$500 pounds. le was twenty-six feet
eight inches in length, and was nine
feet three inches in circum ference bacl,
of the gills. 1t was found that the old
fellow had no teeth, probably owing to
his great age. He was tiger shark
that is, spotted like u tiger. The natives
on the coast have breathcd easier since
his timely taking off. and Capt. Reiter
is very popular man down there.
