Jesse r. Robertson.

The newspaper published at Bur
lington Junction, Mo-, where Jesse
F. Robertson, formerly City Attor,
ney Of Mexico, now resides, says:
sJesse F. Robertson, attorney at
law, is a graduate of the Legal De-
partment of Washington University
of st. Louis, Mo. He has been
practicing law for five years and has
resided in this city for three years.
He has a fine suite of rooms over
the TRADE Center store, and prac.
tees before all the courts in the
state, and has the second largest
library in the county and takes all
the leading reports. He also writes
insurance in all the old line COM
panies, and has some town and farm
property for sale. Mr.. Robertson is
one of those genial and social attor-
neys whose object seems to be in
giving advice in legal matters that
will bring about a settlement out OF
court, if such a thing is possible;
but, nevertheless, if he thinks his
client is in the right he will fight to
the last. Mr.. Robertson is a gen.
tleman in every sense of the word,
and when he stands before a jury
his words are listened to with close
attention, largely because it is a
well known fact that no intentional
misrepresentation of facts ever
pass his lips, even if he knew that
be would win his case by so doing.
Mr.. Robertson will make n specially
of the real estate law practice.
