One Man Killed and Several

Higbee, Mo-, March Ga dis.
astrous head-end collision occur
red on the Alton here last night,
in which one life was lost. The
trains wrecked were the westbound
water train and the fast eastbound
meat train. The blame, it is said
attaches to the dispatcher at Kan
sas City. The wreck occurred in
- deep cut and on a curve, and
that, together with the fact that
the water trains engine was run
ming backward, and displaying no
headlight, prevented the eastbound
train from seeing it approach,
Both engineers applied the emerg-
ency brakes and all jumped for
their lives. All escaped with
slight injuries, but Fireman AL
fred johnson, of Slater, who was
caught in the wreck and instantly
killed. The track was blocked for
twelve hours, and all trains were
run by the way of Moberly. One
engine was almost demolished
while the other one was but slight
" damaged.

Parker, son Of Charles Parker, a
mine foreman of Lingo, has been
sued for So, 900 for alleged breach
of promise to marry by Miss Daisy
Mocha, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
james Mocha of Lingo. In her
bill the young lady asserts that
only after long and urgent solici-
tation by Parker did she agree TO

Miss Daisy will go into court
with unusually strong testimony,

heard all the lOver-like pleas of
the defendant, and their daught-

preaching nuptials, but that her
lover commenced growing indiffer-
ent and at last ceased altogether

Audrain county man who went to
Oklahoma writes back as follows:
"Out here | find the same old

as in Oklahoma, but it seems like

nice bluegrass pastures, yards, nice
fencing and a nice lot of fuel, and
that is more than Oklahoma can
say. Fence posts cost 10 cents a
piece, coal costs 2jc to 30c bush

pecially, has a right to feel proud
of the fact that the President of
the United States and Prince Hen
ry of Prussia have been attracted
by her horse productions.
Missouri is entitled to the cred
it of producing the horse nilsson
ri" which President Roosevelt re-
Gently purchased for $4,000, and
his brother, which Prince Henry
is expected to buy at price not
yet made known.
Both of these animals were bred
and raised on the Reed Burke
farm, near Cant, this county.
DR.. G.. O. Burke, of Atlanta,
ILL.,, owned the mother of the
Presidents horse. He sent her to
Reed Burke's stock farm in this
county to be bred. She was bred
to George Washington, a high
class show horse, little under
sized, but a fine actor and with a
disposition that was unequalled. =.
He was purchased by Il. 7. Free
man & Son at the Texas State
Fair in 1896 from Mr.. Carter of
Chillicothe, Texas, who had bought
him in Kentucky. After r. 7.
Freeman S death, at the admins
traitors sale, George Washington
was bought by w. ID. Lee, of this
city, for Col. f. w. Blees, of Ma
con, Mo. After two years use by
Col. Blees, George Washington
was sold, and is now serving in
the humble capacity of a gentle
mans saddle horse.
The colt Missouri is dark bay,
with not a white hair on him. He
came into possession of DR.. G. O..
Burke and was taken to Atlanta,
Ill. 1t is said that he was one of
the best actors ever seen in Allan
to and without blemish After
Dr.. Burke used him for u year he
was sold to DR.. Donald for $175.
The new owner sold him to New
York man for $475. This New
York man matched him, and re-
Gently sold the team to the Presi-
dent for $11 900. The story goes
that when Prince Henry was in
Washington several days ago he
fell in love with the Missouri
horse and on inquiry found that a
full brother was IN Missouri.
Audrain county is a great horse
center.
