Island No. 7e Belongs to Desha.

Finally settling the dispute over Is
land rs in the Mississippi River, which
has been in litigation since early in
1899, Judge Jacob Trieber Of the Uni
ted States Circuit Court of this dis
trict has entered a decree holding the
island to be portion of Desha county,
Arkansas, and forever enjoining the
Mississippi claimants from interfering
with the peaceful possession of the
Arkansas occupants. This island con-
tains in the neighborhood of 700 acres
of extremely fertile land, which was at
one time a part of Mississippi. The
river cutting through made it an is
land, and the main channel of the
river being on the Mississippi side, it
was temporarily abandoned by the
former holders. After number of
years people from the Arkansas side
took possession of the island, which
threw the matter into the courts.

lice court as witness in the case OF
Mrs. Josephine Leslie, who was ar
rested at Newmarket July 4 charged
with defrauding members of we'll
known families by false pretenses and
who represented herself to be q friend
Of Mr.. Morgan. The latter repudiated
all knowledge Of Mrs. Leslie. He said
he did not write to her advising her
to join one Of his syndicates and never
invited Mrs. Leslie, as alleged, to dine
at his sons house. AS q matter of
fact, Mr.. Morgan added, he was In
New York at the time Of the alleged
invitation.
On cross-examination Mr.. Morgan
said he did not remember any invita-
ton being sent to George Easterlick,
the prisoners father, for public din
ner which Mr.. Morgan gave In New
York. Mr.. Morgan was sure that his
firm had no customer Of that name
and he said it was improbable that
any Of his business friends would
speak of investments returning IL per

be the interest on money invested in
the alleged Morgan syndicate.

was induced to give Mrs. Leslie $42,.
