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.
