Casey is a son of the late George M. Casey, known as "The cattle king of Missouri."

Walter Robertson, who was convicted at the April term of the circuit court on a charge of burglarizing the store of J.D. Reynolds of Mansfield, and who broke jail while awaiting trial, is giving the authorities of Boonville a lot of trouble.
While in line coming from his march from his daily work he broke ranks and ran to the thickets on the Missouri river at Boonville and hid.
During the night he broke into one of the buildings on the school grounds and took a suit of one of the officers clothes and left. He was apprehended at a straw stack the next day and after a fierce fight was overpowered and returned to the school.

I hope I'm not committing the sin of going into off topic territory by posting this , but can it be said that the legacy of outlaw history in Missouri has anything to do with the present day phenomenon of rural drug ( particularly meth ) production/distribution in that state ?


I realize that ( according to DEA reports at least ) domestic meth production in the US has severely declined since 2006 , however Missouri was one of the top meth producing states at one point , with it being allegedly one of the first states outside of California to have a significant number of meth labs as far back as the 80s which is why I'm asking .

I'm not sure why Missouri always leads the nation in meth labs and puppy mills.

Is puppy mills a slang term for pill mills ? Or is it another thing entirely ?
