SOME QUAIL STORY.

Robert Smiley, one of Monroe coun-
tvs most prominent farmers, who re-
sides neal Santa Fe, recently cut a
bee tree which contained 100 pounds
Of honey. In falling the tree, when it
struck the ground, killed four quail.
With Mr.. Smiley were L. D. Ash,
Monroe County Superintendent Of
schools and County Judge 7. F. Hurd.
Frank Snider, of Santa Fe, among
others, say that it might have been
1900 pounds of honey and 400 quail
instead of the above figures. He will
likely head a committee of Santa Fc
business men to find out just what
did occur at the bee tree inasmuch as
Mr.. Smiley seemed to regard wit
nesses necessary to e~crroborate his
story. AS the Quail season had open
ed Mr.. Smiley is in no danger Of
prosecution for breaking the game
laws. All agree Mr.. Smiley did bet
ter with the tree than a lot Of fellows
have been doing with their shot guns
this fall.

LEcrRIc ROAD suRyEY

I0 N @AO@
Thomas Peterson, chief engineer
and his force Of FIVE assistants passed
through sheIbina Friday surveying
the route for the proposed KeOkuk
Jefferson City interurban, says the
Democrat Of that city.
The line as surveyed passes through
the city on Center street, the main
business thoroughfare of the city.
This is the custom in Illinois cities
through which the Mckinley lines
pass. Bloomington, Decatur, Canton,
BellviIIe and GiIiispie, Ill, and pos
sibly other cities allow the interurbans
to pass over their principal business
streets. AS they do not use steam
engines and the trains are short, no
objection has ever been found to them,
It is similar to a street railway in a
city.
AS to the crossing there the city
council would have something to say
An unofficial poll Of the council found
no objection to the line passing down
Center street.
Mr.. Knight was in Paris Thursday
and says the surveyors will be her'
next week. He viii hold a meeting
at Long Branch store Saturday af
ternoon. He will be in Mexico soon

COMB OF

Billy, the year and a half old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. M. J. S~annebeck,
came near being seriously burned
Friday and only for the heroic efforts
of his mother would have been injur-
ed severely. As it was his dress was
partially burned off and the house
set on fire. Mrs. Sannebeck extin-
guished the flames with a bucket of
water.
The fire starter from a celluloid
comb with which Billy was playing.
He allowed the comb to rest for a
second against a hot stove which ig-
nited the highly c~ombustable material
and set the little fellows clothing on
fire. He escaped without any burns.

Mexico weekly ledger., 1915-11-25

He stated that any sale of liquor in
this county now was illegal and that
the person who sells liquor illegally
Is the most contemplate type Of
criminal. That such a criminal can
not plead he did not do it deliberately
and that many such offenders did it
merely to violate the laws at the die
tate Of natural viciousness.
He said the illicit sale Of liquor
was o on a certain type Of buy
ers than was the sale under the dram
shop law. That where a mar was the
victim of the habit he could buy it by
the drink from the saloon but from
the bootlegger it was sold by the
pint or quart.
Judge Barnett stated that from
newspaper comments he understood
q railroad in Audrain county was OPP
Grating without a license, as the law
requires, and if so it was in contempt
of the law and should be investigated
by the jury. The Wabash is the road
referred to according to dispatches.

JOSEPH A. POTTS DIES
IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS

AN 0<tAN nv AO4NLO4 ALAAD
Joseph A. Potts, SO years old, form
erly CT this city, died at his home in
San Antonio, Texas, Saturday morning
after suffering a second stroke of par,
alysis, Friday night. His daughter,
Mrs. Ned Rodes, Of this city, and son.,
Joseph Potts, Jr, who has been visit
ing here left, early Saturday morning
for the South before they had learned
of his death. CT Clark, an old friend
and business associate, and DR.. Ned
Rodes, left for San Antonio Saturday
for the funeral.
Joe Potts, as his friends loved TO
call him, was born in Galloway county
and later in life moved to Mexico
where in 1869 he married a Miss Sims.
He became interested in the horse
business and was one of the leaders
in this field. Perhaps tho greatest
horse he ever owned was Old Moss
Rose although Thornton Star was an
ether famous animal in his stable.
When he moved to San Antonio for his
health in 1904 he took . string of
blooded saddIers with him and revolu-
tionized the thoroughbred horse bus
mess in that state.
Mr.. Potts wal one Of Mexico's most
prominent citizens as well as best
loved men,. He had been a member Of
the Missouri State Board of Agricul-
ture and was a prominent member Of
the Masonic lodge. Besides owning a
number Of business houses here and
stock in local banks he has a Texas
ranch of 5000 acres.
Besides his wife and a brother, Rob
ert Potts, Of st. Joseph, Mo-, he leaves
the following children: Mrs. N. R.
Rodes, of this city; Mrs. Annie Low
cry, San Antonio; Mrs. R. L. Robin
son, San Antonio; Mrs. Ralph Green,
San Antonio; Mrs. Z. B. Quick,
Lincoln, Neb.; Joe Potts,Sa n Antonio
John Potts, of Ensinal, Texas, and
Sims Potts. Of San Antonio.
Mr.. Potts suffered his first stroke
of paralysis " a year ago. He was
a member Of the Christian church and
a splendid man with friends wherever
he went. Mexico has never had a cit
izen more universally popular than
Joseph Potts and the news of his
death saddened the entire city.
The funeral services over the body
of Joseph A. Potts, of San Antonio,
Texas, formerly of this city, were
conducted by the Knight Templar at
300 O'Clock Monday in that city, ac-
cording to a telegram received by
Judge J. A. Guthrie from G. F. Clark.
1t was reported in Mexico Satur-
day that the burial would be here
Monday or Tuesday. This error was
drought the misunderstanding Of a
telegraph to the Knight Templars Of
this city.
In the passing of Mr.. Potts Mex
leo loses a strong friend who although
he had moved from here or account
of his health was ever interested in
the welfare Of Mexico and its inter
ests. The Ledger joins the people
of Mexico in extending sympathy to
the bereaved family at this time.
