Burlington, April 25.-Mr. Henry
Reid, or Maquoketa, is in the city, en-
gagged in historical research. Inc op-
ject of his quest are veterans OF the
Mexican war and members OF the ter
ritorial militia prior to the mexican
war. AS the war with the nelghbor-
ing republic began in 1886. there are
very few left who had part in those
stirring times, and the present gener-
alton has well-nigh forgotten the war.
Mr.. Reid recalled the fact that Bur-
lington furnished three of the nine
companies that went from Iowa to
the Mexican war. And one Burlington
company was the only Iowa company
that really got into Mexico. From
Iowa there also went the Mormon bat
talon of five companies, composed or
Mormons who had been driven out OF
Illinois. They marched all the way to
the coast in California, were disband-
ed there, and then made their way back
to Salt Lake City. Mr.. Reds re-
searches, so far as the territorial mil
itia are concerned. will extend from
1889 to the beginning of the war with
Mexico. The work is being done I'M
der the auspices of the Iowa soldiers
roster board and when completed will
be of great interest and value.

Waterloo, April 25.-Miss Ora, Van
Brocklin has filed her threatened suit
for breach of promise against Charles
+. Wilson, asking judgment of the
court in the sum of $4,000. The af-
fair dates back over a period of eleven
years, during which time they are al
legged to have kept company for three
years, during which they have ap-
peared in society with the engagement
ring upon the finger of plaintiff. The
plaintiff is the daughter of one of the
oldest families in the vicinity of La
Forte, farmers daughter. The de-
PENDANT for years has been eigaged in
the implement business in Laporte.
The parties are we'll known.
The petition alleges that for long
time prior to February IA, 1897. de-
PENDANT for years has been engaged in
tiff and so conducted himself towards
her as to warrant the belief it was
with the view of entering into mar
riage contract, and it was on this ac-
count, she AYERS, that she accepted his
attention to the exclusion of all others.
That in the spring of 1905 the knot
should be tied. The agreement was
verbal, as nearly all such arrangements
are, and plaintiff arranged for the
wedding. Defendant continued to call

While the subject Of the story is
not new in Laporte, the filing of the
suit for breach of promise will create

it was observed that suit of the kind
would be brought.
