Even Museum Animals Walked One
Halloween----Festival now Quieter

| bered the first parade the students in
the University of Missouri ever had.
Doctor Laws, at that time its president,
wanted TO change the name Of the Uni
yersi,y of Missouri 10 the University OF
Missouri and the College Of Agriculture,
thus emphasizing the college. So one
morning the students drafted the wagons
of the farmers into service as they
brought in their loads Of hay and grain.
The sight that met the gaze Of those on
Broadway that morning was bunch OF
students on farm wagon saving bone
and sign read agricultural Medics;"
on another wagon were some students
with some tools and the sign read, "Ag.
Ericultural Engineers" However the
name was not changed.
"The students now aren't so personal
as We were with our jokes said Mr..
Cromer. I'VE used TO get out paper
called the Bogus Nobody ever knew
where it came from. 1t just appeared,
usually at mass meetings. Suddenly
there would be about five hundred copies
in the audience. The paper contained
the complaints of the students and take
,, offs on the faculty."
Another Halloween, a seven.room
house was placed on the West Campus.
Moving houses was not easy without
proper man power in those days, and
after week of perplcxily, President
Jesse found out the names of few con-
cerned and threatened them with expul-
sion unless the house was removed a,
once. The following morning the house
was gone.
OF late years, small pranks such as
throwing porch furnishings over the Rol.

REPORT ROAD
FUND MAY
Be DIVERTED

There is a report which has nok
been verified that the Highway DE-
partment of the State is contemplate
ing taking between $27, 900 and $50
900 Of highway funds to be used ON
the North State Highway across Aud
rain county and diverting it for the
purpose of raising the Burlington
tracks four miles east of this city
where the highway crosses the rail-
road.
At present only five trains pass oven
this crossing every twenty-four hours
and there are quite number who feel
that at present this Improvement is
not as necessary as having the $27,-
900 placed on the highway. However
when the Burlington extension is
made then raising the tracks win be
most important as the traffic will be
heavier over the road and maks such
saftey plan most necessary.
So far as can be learned nothing de-
finite has been done along this line but
the plan is under consideration. Grade
crossings are dangerous and it is a
most commendable plan to eliminate
them especially on heavy traffic
ways.

BILL MORGAN
NOW BACK
IN MEXICO

Deputy Sheriff Ernest Blum arrived
in Mexico at 5 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing from Maysville bringing Bill Nor
gan with him. Morgan who broke Jail
here in June is again lodged in the
county Jail.
Morgan, who was arrested in st.
Joseph charged with stealing an auto
mobile was given a preliminary hear
ing in Maysville Monday morning and
it was decided that the case against
him there was so slight it was better
for him to be sent back to Mexico to
answer to the charge of robbing gar
age in Benton City.
Morgan, going under the name of
Joe Williams, was arrested in COM
pany with Ed Thomas who was driv-
ing an Essex car which was stolen
from Earl Kibbey Of Stewartsville.
Morgan however did not make the trip
from Stewartsville in the car but rode
on a freight train so the case against
him was slight.
Up to few days before he went to
st. Joseph, Morgan was employed in
soft drink and billiard parlor in AL
lance, Iowa.
Many people around Mexico report
ed that they had seen Morgan around
here up to short time ago. Morgan,
however, says he has only been back
to Mexico once since he escaped. He
also says that Michael McCloud, the
negro who escaped at the same time
he did, was the one who dug the way
out Of the Jail. Morgan declares that
he has often wished he was back in
Jail here and that he did not know
until a few days ago that large re-
ward was being offered for his arrest
and conviction. 1t is not known yet
who will receive the reward Of $400
offered by the County and State, in
case he is convicted.
