THE scHRUM MURDER CASE.

The case of James Schrum, who
was convicted at the August term,
1912, of the Circuit Court of this
county of murder in the first degree,
the jury fixing his punishment at
death, was set for argument yester-
day in the Supreme Court, to which
an appeal was taken. Schrum aud
his son Harry were indicted and
tried for the murder of Gent Gibson
and Mont Hall at Iron Mountain on
the 18th of the previous June. The
father was tried separately from the
son, first for the murder Of Gibson,
the jury finding him guilty OF mur-
der in the first degree and fixing his
punishment at life imprisonment.
He was then tried for the murder Of
Hall at the same term OF court, aud
the jury brought in verdict of
guilty of murder In the first degree
with the death penalty. He was
sentenced by the court to be hanged
on the 2lth OF October, 1917, but an
appeal was taken and stay of ex-
ecution granted. The son pleaded
guilty to murder in the second de-
gree and was sentenced to IA term Of
ten years in the penitentiary. Pend
ing the result of the appeal, both
were taken to the penitentiary, the
father under the first conviction.
should the Supreme Court sustain
the verdict of the jury and the SEN
tence of the court against James
Schrum in the second conviction, it
will be up to the Governor to either
commute the death sentence or par
don him for the murder for which
he is serving n life sentence, that
The state may carry out the death
penalty.

DEATH OF E. p. CARuTHERs.

Edgar p. Caruthers, editor OF the
Dunklin County Democrat, and
brother of Mrs. Lizzie Barroll Of
this place, died at his home in Ken
nett, Mo-, October llth, after an ILL
ness of nine days. Mr.. Caruthers
was one OF the most widely known
and best editors of the Southeast
Missouri press-a man of sterling
character, firm convictions and the
moral courage to voice them in no
uncertain way. He possessed Il
genial, wholesome nature, steadfast-
ness of purpose and loyalty to his
friends that held aud bound them to
him, and all in all he was a man
among men. In his death the press
of Southeast Missouri, in fact of
the whole State, and Dunklin coun-
ty especially, suffers loss that
will be deeply felt.
Edgar p. Caruthers was born and
reared in Fredericktown, Mo-, and
when only twelve years of age pub
lished a paper called the Frederick
town Conservator. For seven
years he served as a clerk in the
State Auditors office under Captain
Albert o. Allen, and later published
a paper at Medicine Lodge, Kan
sas. For the last twenty years he
has been editor and publisher OF
the Dunkin Democrat. He was
married when 10 years of age to
Miss Mary l.. Fleming Of Freder-
lcktown, and to them five children
were born, four of whom are living.
His wife died, and later he was
married to Miss Minnie Chandler of
Kennel. Being bereaved second
time, he married Mrs. Electra Town
send, whom he also survived.

| NEN Huerta, who, after con-
w. spring in the overthrow
and assassination of Presi.
dent Madero, was declared the
Provisional President of Mexico ;
has thrown off his disguise and de.
clared himself Dictator of that un.
happy country. Recently a prom.
inent deputy, or member of the
Mexican Congress, who had crit.
cised the Huerta regime, was Sc
cretly arrested and supposedly put
to death. Under the constitution
he was immune to arrest. The
Congress by resolution called on
Huerta to know what had become
of the missing deputy and as to his
safety. His answer was to forcibly
dispense the Congress, arrest over
Il hundred of the deputies and cast
them into prisOn-to be tried for
sedition and most likely executed.
He then issued his decree assum.
lug the functions of the several de.
partments of government, and or

gress at the election which had
been set for October 26 for the
election of n President.
President Wilson on behalf of the

to recognize the claims of Huerta
as Provisional President of Mexico
because of the way in which he
psurped the prerogatives OF tina,

revolutionary condition of the
country, yet making it plain that
Huerta would not be tolerated as a
candidate himself. His sugges.
tons were resented by the Huerta
regime as an warranted interfer-
ence with the sovereignty of that
country, and was criticized in
some quarters at home as crude
and childish diplomacy. Huerta.
however, by his despotic stand of
the past week, has justified Presi-
dent Wilson'S position and the
doubts which his efforts at friendly
intervention thinly yelled, that a
fair election could or would be
