FOR THE
SPECIAL ROAD DISTRICT
CHOSEN SATURDAY MORNING

F. A. Morris was selected for the
three year term on the Board Of
Commissioners to have charge of the
work Of the roads under the Mexico
Smile special road district. The se-
lection was made by the Mexico City
Council and the three judges from
the Audrain county court at a
combined session of the two bodies
held in the County Clerks office on
Saturday morning. f. L. Crosby was
named for the two-year term and &c
Robertson for the one year term.
A committee was then ~appointe
to call upon the three
men and to ascertain II they would
accept. Mayor Willard Potts, pre-
siding Judge Alex Carter and John
B. Graham, county clerk were plac-
ed on the committee. Another meet
ing was held Saturday afternoon to
hear the report of the committee
when 1t was announced IN gentle
men had accepted.
e. D.. Graham said he believed that
the roads in the district should be
handled with the intention of perma-
nent improvements rather than Just
to work the dirt roads.
Presiding Judge Alex Carter was
Of the same opinion. He believed
that the citizens residing along the
country roads should be allowed to
do such work as they had in the
past.
The commissioners, however, have
entire control of the roads and the
funds and they are to distribute the
money in improvement to the best Of
their ability.

WANTS THE FACTS
House Calls on Secretary of War for
Information.

Washington, Dec. IA resolution
passed by the house tiday calls on the
secretary OF war for full information
relative to the proposed abandonment
of certain army posts throughout the
country and the redistribution of the
standing army.
The house asked specifically for the
names of all posts to be abandoned
and the amount of money that the war
department estimates can be saved by
a more efficient and economical distri-
button of the army.
Earlier in the day Major General
Wood told the house committee on mill
itary affairs that whenever a change
or abandonment of an army site was
proposed, some representative protest
ed because it meant the loss of two
or three hundred votes of people de-
pendent commercially on the post. To
the country, however, he added, it
meant both economy and efficiency.

Away in Chicago.
Was the Owner of Famous Horse,
Robert McGregOr.
SOLD FOR A FORTUNE.
Got Thirty-Five Thousand Dol
lars for TrOtter.
Was the Owner of Many Other
TrOtting Sires.

Word was received this afternoon of
the death at noon in St Francis hos
pital Chicago of Robert I. Lee, age
81. who issperhaps the oldest horse man
in Kansas. Mr.. Lee underwent an op-
Grafton several years ago from which
he never fully recovered. He Is sur
vaved by a wife, two daughters and a
son.
ar. Lee owned among other proper
ties a 200 acre farm west of Topeka.
and real estate in Kansas City valued
at $4,000. He is well known by all the
old settlers in Topeka.
He made a trip to Europe in the
hope of benehting his health but did
not improve. He was suffering from
liver trouble.
Owned Robert NIcGregor.
Mr.. Lee first became famous in the
horse world as the owner of Robert
McGregor, who is acknowledged TO
have been the greatest trotting sire
ever produced. Mr. Lee bought Robert
McCregor,a colt, in New York. paying
$4,000 for him, which YVES then consid-
cred a big price for a horse. He after
ward sold him for $35, 900, and he was
Ohio, for 5000. He sired Cresceus,
who was also owned by Ketcham, and
is the fastest trotting stallion in the
United States.
Efr. Lees farm. Prairie DELL five
miles west of Topeka, on the Tenth
avenue road, is one of the show places
OF Shawnee county. Tt is on this farm
that the old Baptist Indian mission
erectedw in 1886 still stands. The
building has been used by Mr.. Lee as
horse barn.
Mr. Lee has for many years been a
familiar figure in Kansas. He was an
excellent j1dge of horse and attended
all the fairs in the Vest. He has
owned many famous stations, Jack
Caw, G1enwood and Shamrock being
among his late acquisitions.

truth and I believe the circumstances
bear out the version of the county at
torney. Mrs. TasselI testified that the
landlord knew well that there was no
injunction against the building. There
could be no injunction against the
building without notice to him. l
think from her testimony and what
she told Mr. Bolinger when they left
the court house shows she understood
the character of the injunction and its
limits There has been some imputa-
ton as to the fact that Mr.. Simon was
to receive some money for the Quash-
ing of the complaint. There is moth
ing to that and it falls to the ground
The fees which Mr. Simon received
were received in legal manner and
are the same fees as are allowed by
law in similar cases. The original
journal entry might have been more
fully drawn. The cases were disposed
of in regular, ordinary and usual way;
that is, by agreement and compromise,
or what amounts to a plea of guilty
made by the defendant in open court.

BURNS IS PAID $4,000

Los Angeles, Dec 19.-The grand
jury held a short session this morning
and recessed until later in the day

Iron Workers Give Up.
indianapolis, Dec. 19.-The long
contest for possession of correspond
ence and books of the Iron Workers
association ended today when counsel
for John J. Mcnamara and the asso-
citation withdrew their appeal to the
Indiana supreme court from an order
of court turning the records over to
the federal grand jury The evidence
was seized in q. raid on the association
Office on April % last when Mcnamara
was arrested, and had since been in
litigation. 1t is understood before the
documents are returned to the Iron
Workers they will make a long jour
ney through federal and perhaps coun-
ty grand jury jurisdiction in various
parts of the country.
