WANTS A HORSE SHOW.
An Exhibition Pace by R0wdy Joe
Would Draw a Big Crowd-The O.
People Should Nee Our Other
Horses.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Oct. lin view
of the fact hal we have a number
of noted track horses in Mexico,
and also the most phenomenal PAGER
in the world, l would suggest that
some hazy October day the people
be invited to the track to see them
go exhibition heats; or, a few races
for sport might be arranged. The
people ought to be given a chance
to e our wonderful horses. Also
let the saddle horses be exhibited.
We have enough trotters, PAGERS,
runners, saddlers and show horses
to make a grand exhibition. Peo-
pie would come many miles to see
it. A veteran driver says he be-
lieves Rowdy Joe a go a half in
SO seconds. Great crowds would
come from everywhere to see him
make the attempt. Mr.. Clark
would doubtless let Robert Rysdyk,
2:13A, the fastest trotting stallion
in Missouri, show us an exhibition
mile. Then we have Lighthall,
Gov. Strong, Prince Medium, the
noted yearling, Sam Medium, Step
per, the PAGER Hood, and a number
of other fast horses in training at the
track. For saddle and show horses
we can feast our eyes on Miss Rex,
Potts Artist, Rex Mcdonald, Mas
cot, Tiptop, Star Rose, Miss Rose,
Blaze Rose and others, all prize
winners. Capt. Glenn, Tom Harri-
son and Bob Barnes might be in
duced to give a running ace or two
for the amusement of the crowd.
AS we could not have a fair, some
way ought to be arranged to let the
people see our horses all together
while the weather is suitable.
Give a weeks notice through the
papers, solicit all the horse men
to have their horses present, invite
the Mexico band out and throw
open the gates free, and let's put in
an enjoyable day. 1t will do US
good. FINE HORSE LOVER.

THINK IT A SUICIDE.
Police Theory OF J.. &. Bowman's
Browning in a st. Louis Pond.

Tuesday afternoons Post-D Dis
patch says: "This morning several
neighbors of J. C. Bowman, a car
penter, 81 years old, who lived at
1913 Deere street, called at the
Morgue and completed the identif-
cation of the remains, which we're
fished out of O'Meara's quarry
pond, on Euclid and Lorraine av-
enues yesterday morning. They
said that Bowman had not been
seen since last Wednesday a week
ago, on which occasion he left home
in good spirits and carrying some
small change with the intention o
securing employment. They said
that be was not inclined to drink
and they could not account for the
suicide theory, nor did they seem at
all interested in the probability Of
Bowman having been murdered.
The deceased was a member Of
the Order of Iron Hall, and leaves
a widow, two daughters and one
son. The daughters are grown girls
and reside with relatives at Moberly,
Mo. The sons where abouts are
unknown.
This afternoon at 2 O'Clock the
inquest on the remains was begun
in the Coroner's office. The theory
of the police and the Coroner's Of
flee officials is that Bowman was
not the victim Of foul play, but that
be committed suicide. There are
no real marks of violence on the
body. A few scratches on the face
and hands indicate that they may
have been inflicted by some of his
carpenter tools while he was work
ing.
FORMERLY LIVED IN MEXICO.
Chris. Bowman was well known
to a number of people in this city
He was once the proprietor OF a res
taurant located where Sannebeck's
market now is. He came to Mexico
from Monroe county and was a resi-.
dent of this city for a ye,,r or two.
He was thought TO be in fair financial
circumstances while hers and was
considered q good citizen. He mar
ried Mrs. DeJarnatt, formerly Miss

What q Breeder Thinks Of0id M~0ntrOse.
To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, October 1O.-Hav-
ing heard of the sale of Old Mont
rose, and being a breeder of saddle
horses on a small scale, | must say
that | regret to see such a grand in
dividual leave the State. While l
would not detract one honor justly
due Rex Denmark, Diamond and
other noted sires within the borders
of this State, | will say, without fear
of successful contradiction, that Old
Montrose is the grandest saddle stall
lion and sire of saddle horses that
ever wore iron or looked through a
bride. Having known him for TWEEN
ty years and knowing his worth as a
breeder and a prize winner, [ say
that his progeny have taken more
first prizes and sold for more money
than any saddle stallion living or
dead. Surely he is and has been to
saddle horse breeders what Rysdyk's
Hambletonian and George Wilkes
have been to the trotting horse breed
ers. Then is it any wonder that Au
drain andCallaway counties are look
ed upon as the banner saddle horse
counties of the world, when they
have had within their borders in the
last ten years mares from such not
ed sires as Black Squirrel, Artist,
Rex Denmark, Diamond, Pat Dolan
and others to cross with Montrose?
The result has been wonderful; in
fact, | doubt if there is a state in
the union but what has a saddle
horse within her borders with the
blood of Montrose coursing through
his veins. Surely Kentucky breed
ers see their mistake now in letting
such sires leave their state. But to-
day they are getting them back, one
by one, with the hope that in a few
more years they may regain the lau-
rels Missouri has justly taken from
them. | ask, are the breeders Of Mis-
souri, going to let them do it? Think
not. They can lever equal our horses
if the breeders of this State will keep
their Montrose mares and cross them
with the best of stations; and then,
when we meet at the next Worlds
Fair, Kentucky will say, as they did
at Chicago last month, Lets go
home, boys; we're not in it with
Missouri"
The clever in which our
county turned Kentucky down at
st. Louis last week shows how we
are advancing in the saddle horse
interests. / am decidedly opposed
to letting any more OF our sires go.
Yours Truly,
JOHN s. ATKINS.
