MISSOURI JOHN" DIES AT
ST. LOUIS.

Pierre, Jan. From st. Louis
comes the news Of the death there
last week Of John Messengale, long
known In this section of the country
as Missouri John" His funeral was
held at Macon, Mo-, the day before
Christmas, and was attended by cat
tlemen from all over the state, and
from South Dakota, also.
He was born in Nashville, Tenn,
in 1910, and located in Macon county
Missouri when young man. Later
he went to Montana and went into
the cattle business in various parts
Of the west, for several years being
at FIT. Pierre and the cattle region
adjacent.
The famous horse race pulled off
at Ft. Pierre some years ago by Mis-
souri, John and La Plant brothers
is still talked of here, and was only
one of the many escapades INDUCED
in by Mr.. Messengale that brought
him into public notice.
In 1895 he left the wild west and
returned to his old home in Macon
county, acquired an extensive farm
and went into farming and cattle
raising. In 1899 he became involved
in litigation with E. E. Rice of Char.
iton county over steer valued al
$50. Both men claimed the steer
either would yield. Two trials were
held in Justice court. The first end
ed with hung jury. In the second
Missouri John won. On Rice's ap-
peal 1t took two trials to reach a
verdict which was finally in Rice's
favor. Messengal had the case re-
manded for new trial, and again il
took two trials to obtain a verdict
which was again in Rice's favor. Mes.
sengale was ready to appeal the
case but his attorneys advised him
not to do SO. The proceedings had
already cost about $4,000.
1t is believed that chagrin over the
losing Of the case so depressed Mr.
Messengale as to hasten his death
