FORMER MEXICO BOY
ON MEXICAN BORDER
Lee ShOOtman, Son Of Lou ShOOtman,
is With the California Ma
tiOnal Guards at Front.
HE GETS A REGULAR SALARY
Is With Standard Oil Co. Who Pay
Their Men Who Have Joined
the Troops Against Mexico.

In letter to Moberly friends, Lee
Shootman, formerly of this city,
son of Lou Shootman, tells the fol-
lowing interesting things about the
patriotic men who are in the service
of the government protecting onr
country from invasion and depreda-
iton by the Mexicans.
The following is taken from the Mo-
berly Democrat:
81 Joined the army at Richmond
last month, was mustered in at Sac
remento, California, and sent to the
Mexican border. We are now in
camp and expect to be called to arms
to take Mexico at any time. When
we do some one is going to stay on
Mexican SOIL
swell, / was woring for the Stan
dard OF Co., when l enlisted, so I
draw my regular pay, $S5 per month.
and there are about twenty others
in our company from the Standard
and they are drawing their regular
salaries. Pretty good pay for SOL
der - from $75 to $11O per month.
81 belong to Company B., second
California Infantry. We are located
in Nogales, Arizona, and the border
line runs through the center of this
town. This is a dry state and it is
good thing, for there are about ten
thousand soldiers here and there
would certainly be some disorder if
they could get plenty of booze. Still
they can get it for $5 quart-just
a little too step for the boys.
"This is surely fine climate and
we have fine company ground, only
about ten blocks frDm town. We wert
all mobolized at Sacramento, Califor.
MIA, and they vaccinated us. Each
one got shot in the arm to prevent
the spread of smallpox and typhoid
fever. Today we get another sho
and it is said that the vaccine cost
$75 per patient, but our Uncle Sam
uel pays the doctor BILL"

cess, for Audrain county, though one

Gates.
/ The grades fall into three classes
Front Line, those counties having al
} ten points. Banner, those counties

Ing the first three points.
! The fact that Audrain has been
: front line county for the past tw
a years and made that class its frs
year in the association speaks well 70
the Sunday School workers of thi
county.
c Since this county holds such a
I enviable position in the association
o it behooves the people of Mexico I
throw open their homes to the visitor

tions under which city council or coun-
ty court make appropriations for Wis
iting nurse for tubercular cases.

of the churches in furnishing funds,

in many places.

LIQUOR INJUNCTION.

BOWLING GREN, Mo-, July 1S. -
The Supreme Court is to be called on
to pass on the rights of Circuit Judges
to enjoin the railroads and express
companies from delivering liquors in
dry territory to boot-leggers, violat-
ers of the law and keepers of ques-
tionable resorts. Judge Voolfolk, of
the Pike County Circuit Court, had
issued an injunction against the rail-
roads some time ago. No objection
was made at the time, by the roads,
but the attorneys for the Burlington
have taken the case up again and
brought the matter up the other day
before Judge Voolfolk in an effort
to wipe out the injunction entirely
This was refused, but it was modified
bv Judge Voolfolk to restrain tht
carriers from shipping into dry terri
tory LIQUORS to boot-leggers, known
yiolators of the law and keepers Of
questionable resorts. The prosecut
ing attorney of Pike county has beer
notified to answer in the Supreme
Court within thirty days to a prelim
Iirary writ of prohibition relating Il
the injunction.
The modified injunction of Judg'
Voolfolk is in line with the ruling o
Judge Harris, in the Boone Count,
iniunctions, when he made the in
junction permanent.

repairs or undertake reconstruc-
ton. If, after due notice, State fails

refuse further aid until the road has
been properly repaired at State ex'
pense.
