Trowbrldgo Cab inet Worka. Missouri Gets 2,000 Iowa Acres, Surrenders 200 Pact Recalls Honey War GROCETERIA SUPER FOOD MARKETS -ONE SHOPPING STOP FOR EVERYTHING PAflTC TWO 'Foes' Refuse To Fight. PALMYRA, Mo. (UP) A hundred-yeer-old boundary dispute between Missouri and Iowa that once precipi tated the ludicrous "honey war" will end officially at midnight, December II, 1039. It gave Mae to one of the strangest bits of Internal friction ever to plague governmental beads in the United States. The original survey dividing the two territories was an extension from a, certain rapid but Mlssourlana as aerted the point was In ths Des Moines river and the Inwans argued It was In the Mississippi. Because of the dispute, wealthy farm land studded with bee-filled trees (vsluable, for honey was a cheap sugar substitute) was a vir tual no-man's land, 1U poseselon claimed by two states, Its residents paying homage to neither. Burden Put on Sheriff. Missouri's Qov. LUbum Boggs pro voked ths "honey war." He Issued a proclamation demanding that Sher iff Henry Heffleman of Clark county collect the taxes due from the land Missouri claimed. Heffleman mounted hie cwaybacked white horse and rode Into the dis puted land. The residents chlded him. They said his horse had carried htm backward. They even had him arrested by Iowa authorities and they protested to Iowa's Dot. Robert Du eac that Heffleman was "bothering" them. Gov. Lucas pounded hla desk and owed to defend Iowa from the tyranny of Missouri. Matters grew steadily worse. Peace parleys produced no settlement. Resi dents grew more anxious and found that they could not settle the prob lem among themselves, b e o a u a e wealthy slave owners desired to re main In tolerant Missouri and the others wlshod to enter "Yankee" Iowa. Militia Called Out. The Invectives hurled by Lucas and Boggs grew more Intolerable to the two executivea. Boggs could stand It no longer. On November 1, 1839, be called out the Missouri mllltla and ordered It Into Clark county to claim lor Missouri what, ha said, was Mis souri's. Spies apparently were working In the Missouri capital. When MaJ. David Wtllock marched Into Palmyra with his several hundred men, he found hundreds of lowana under arms. Qov. Luca had ordered out the Iowa guards. Wlllock fall back and hastily called for vulunteers. None appeared and he organized a orude draft which pro duced a few hundred more men. But then the snow came and the poorly clad and badly equipped sol dlers and draftees almost froze In two nights of camping out. Neither army wished to fight and finally Wlllock conferred with the chief of the Iowa army. They decided It wasn't worth the trouble and ordered their men disbanded. Soldiers Showed Disapproval. Hoots of derision met the demobll. ltatlon ordor. The "soldiers" divided a piece of venison. They labeled one hunk "Boggs" and the other "Lucns" and fired almost all their available shells Into them. They burled the pieces, side by side, with full mili tary ceremonies. Then they turned their coats In side out "aa symbol of the only honor they received In tho war," and walked home. The "honey war" was over, but It wasnt until 1039 thu the legisla tures of the two states agreed on a settlement of the boundary dispute. The Dee Molnos rlvor was fixed as the line and 300 acrea which previously had been Missouri's will go to Iowa and J.ooo towa acres will become Missouri land. .
