Slim ETHERIDGE
Is BACK in JAIL
Negro Who Spent Vacation in
LeavenwOrth, in CalabOOse
for Week End.

Denied the comforts Of a warm
prison cell and cast out into the world
to struggle for himself on the eve of
the first blizzard of long, cold win
ter, Slim Etheridge returned last No
Vember from Leavenworth prison,
where he had been compelled to en-
dure a year Of penal servitude for
failure to observe the laws.
Slim would have gladly whiled away
the long winter evenings as one Of
the warden's guests, but being denied
the privilege and having safely wealth
cred the wintry blasts until the COM
ing of spring and good fishing, he
feels keenly the loss of his liberty at
this time. When Officer George Tai
ley last night impaired the informa-
ton that his presence was again
sought at the police station, Slim could
not frame suitable words to express
his regret.
About a week ago, the room of Mon
roe Moberly, a porter at the Idanha
Hotel, was robbed and suit Of cloth
es, pair of shoes, hat and some ties
were stolen.
Nothing was said about the loss,
until yesterday Monroe noticed that
slim was wearing a tie that bore a
marked similarity to one that he had
been relieved of. Monroe advised Of
ficer George TalIey of his suspicious,
and last night, after securing search
warrant from Judge Willer, Sims
rooms were invaded by the officer and
a close inspection made. The three
rooms were gone through but nothing
was discovered, until a trunk was
opened, when the suit was revealed
and positively identified by Moberly.
Slim admitted that the clothes did
not belong to him and he could not I'M
derstand how they got into his trunk
unless some meddlescme person placed
them there while he was away.
In addition to the suit of clothes,
quantity of liquor was found, and the
officer is suspicious that Slim has re-
verified to his bootlegging tactics
again.
Slim was wearing\a valuable dia-
mond stick pin when arrested, and
questioned as to the manner by which
he acquired it, he would make no at
tempt to explain.
He was placed in the city Jail, and
will perhaps be given preliminary
failure to observe the laws.

AGED man IS
FATALLY HURT
BYAUT0MOBHE
George Brown, Frisco EN-
ploye; Thrown Against Curb
and Skull is Cracked.
AUTO TRAVELLING SLOW
WHEN MAN is HIT
Lucius Hartle Says Victim Stepp-
ed in Frent of Motor
and Fell.

George Brown, an elderly man, a
local employee in the Frisco yards, was
struck by an automobile and perhaps
fatally injured, while attempting to
cross Good Hope street, near the in
terSection of Sprigg street, at about
s o'clock last evening.
The automobile was owned and driv-
Ell by Lucius Hartle, and was said to
have been travelling at a very slow
speed when Mr.. Brown stepped off the
curbing and walked in front of the
machine apparently without noticing
its approach. Mr.. Hartle did not re-
aize the situation until h was too late
to avoid the collision.
While Mr.. Brown was not struck
with great force, the impact was suf-
ficient to cause him to fall. His head
struck the concrete street and he was
rendered unconscious.
He was carried into a nearby doc
tors office where efforts were made
to revive him. The attempts were IN
availing, and this morning when he
was removed to St. Louis, he was still
in comatose condition.
Witnesses to the occurrence COM
pletely exonerate Mr.. Hartle of any
blame, and state that he was power
less to avoid the accident.
The physicians are fearful that he
received fracture of the skull at the
base of the brain, and grave doubts
are entertained as to the outcome.
In accordance with the advice of the
local Frisco physician, the injured man
was conveyed to st. Louis this morn
ing where he will receive treatment at
the Frisco Hospital. He was accom-
panied by his son, Will Brown.

BOYSCONSCIENCE'
MAKES HIM PAY
FORSTOLEN Ties
Prosperous Farmer Tells d.
A. Glenn He Has Had No
Peace In Nine Years.
FEARED CONFESSION
WOULD CAUSE ARREST
In Settling for Neckwear Taken
When a Boy, Farmer Relates
Experiences.

Haunted for nine years with the
thought that he had stolen a fifty cent
necktie, one of the. most prosperous
young farmers of Cape Girardeau
County, yesterday called on David A.
Glenn at the Glenn store and reim-
bursed the merchant.
"My conscience is again at rest"
he said, after making a confession to
Mr.. Glenn and paying for the stolen
tie.
The story as told by Mr.. Glenn, fol-
lows:
81 was seated in my office when a
young man entered. l have known
him since he was an infant and l call
ed him by his. first name. He appear
ed somewhat nervous, and l imagined
he had something on his mind that
was not resting well.
"'Well, what can I do for you to-
day. l asked. He said he had a story
to tell me and a bill that was long
past due. Proceed l said, and he be-
gan.
"'Nine years ago, when was but
fifteen, l was in this store making
some purchases. 1t was while Her
man Glenn was here and he was in
charge of the mems goods. After l
had finished my buying, l started to
go out. When / reached the door, |
noticed white silk tie that was mark
ed fifty cents. l looked around to see
if there was a clerk near, and when
l discovered that l was all alone, l
picked up the tie, placed it in my
pocket and walked out.
"'That act has haunted me through
all these years. 1t was the first thing
l ever took and the last. When l got
home ! was almost sick, and there has
not been a day in all of these nine
years that have not thought of steal
ing that tie.
"I wanted to come down and pay
for it, but l was afraid | would be ar
rested and disgraced. But my con-
science would not permit me to rest.
Finally, l decided there was but one
thing to do and that was to come
down and make a confession to you.
Now, want you to figure out what
the interest on the sum would be for
those nine years."
"You can't pay ME cent interest"
replied Mr.. Glenn. You have suffered
enough.
But you must take back the
amount of that tie" he added.
"Well, if it will relieve you, why
you can pay that, but l feel | ought
to give it to you for a Christmas pres
ent," retorted Mr.. Glenn.
The young farmer handed over the
fifty cents. 81 never was so glad to
pay a debt in all my life," he said, and
he thanked Mr.. Glenn over and over
again as he emerged from the store.
"That young man, whose name l
would not divulge for anything, is q
son of d prominent family and is
splendid fellow. He is just "a years
old, is prosperous and enjoys the very
best reputation.
when he took the tie, his credit
was good for most any amount here
and it is just as good today"
