SUIT IS DECIDED
FOR MILLING CO.
Jury Holds Mrs. Phillips Of New
Madrid Co., Cannot Collect
OnSWheat Deal.

A verdict il favor of the Scott
County Milling company was render
ed yesterday evening in the case of
Mrs. Annie Phillips against J. R. King
and the milling company. The jury
was out almost two hours before a
verdict was reached.
Mrs. Phillips, who owns a farm in
New Madrid County, rented her farm
to King last spring. In September he
sold 1920 bushels of wheat to the mill
ing company at S1.10 per bushel
When Mrs. Phillips heard of the deal
she attempted to collect an additional
81 cents on the bushel for the sale
She contended that her tenant had nc
right to sell the grain without hel
consent, as she was to have her share
of the crop.
The attorney for the defendants at.
tempted to show that Mrs. Phillips
consented to the sale inasmuch as she
cid not contest the sale until several
months after it had been completed
The attorneys for the plaintiff con,
tended that Mrs. Phillips did not Learn,
of the transaction until late last fall
but protested as soon as she heard IL
had been transacted.
The Chamber of Commerce of St
Louis was communicated with by At
torney Thomas Galiivan of New Mad
rid, who represented the plaintiff dur
ing the trial, to ascertain the latest
market price of wheat, in order to fix
his additional claim.
The case was brought here from
New Madrid on a change of venue
The trial consumed the entire day
during which about Is witnesses were
examined.
The trial of the case of the Massa-
chusetts Bond and Insurance Co.

Slim ETHRIDCE
HAS LONG RECORD
Prosecuting Attorney to Press
Charge of Arson and Habiiual
Criminal Against Negro.

Evidence substantiating the charges
of arson and being an habitual Grim
inal is being prepared by Prosecuting
Attorney J. Henry Caruthers against
Edward "Slim" Ethridge, who is now
being held in the county Jail, await
ing trial at the coming term of the
Circuit Court. Ethridge, who has sew
eral aliases, was arrested several
weeks ago after August Cordell, an
other colored man, had charged Eth
ridge with burning his home.
The prosecuting attorney received
a letter yesterday from the warden
of the penitentiary, in which he gives
the record of the negro. According
to the records of the State Peniten-
tiary, Ethridge has served two SEN
fences at Jefferson City under differ
ent names.
In October, 1901, the negro was
tyrtenced to two years for grand
larceny. At that time he gave his
name as N. C.. Alright. He was re-
leased after serving Is months. He
served his second term for grand lar
ceny under the name of NJ. C. Eth
ridge. He was sentenced the second
time in March, 1908.
Besides these two terms in the State
Penitentiary, Ethridge served sem
tenee in the Federal prison at Leaven-
worth for violating the liquor laws.
The records show that he has been
sentenced several times for misde-
meanors and has been regular guest
in the county Jail.
In view of this long record the prose-
cutting attorney will press the charge
of being an habitual criminal against
Ethridge. The grand jury will make
investigation of the arson charge
against the prisoner before any &C
ton will be taken.
Ethridge was arrested last month
after the home of Cordell had beer
burned. Cordell testified at the pre-
liminary hearing that he had seen Eth
ridge around the house shortly before
the fire was discovered and had fired
= shot at him to brighten him away.
Tthridge denied the charge.
Should the prisoner be found guilty
on the additional charge of being an
fabitual criminal then the sentence
viii be much heavier. The minimum
sentence for arson in the first degree
IS ten years in the penitentiarv A
similar sentence can be added if the
man is found guilty of the habitual
,riminal act.

WIN TOURNAMENT
Defeat Of Pennington Team Last
Night Decided Contest for s. E.
Mo. Champions hip-Sccre $3.50.

The Charleston basket ball team
won the championship in the tou1na-
ment of the high schools of Southeast
Missouri after defeating the Farming
ton team in a one-sided game last
night played at the Normal gymna-
SUM. The score was Sc to 6. The
| decisive defeat of the Pennington
boys was not only due to the superior
| ity of the Charleston squad, but also
to the fact that the former were over
taxed, having played two other games
during the day.
The tournament was started Friday
afternoon. Eight teams entered the
contest Friday Four were eliminated
from further participation by double
defeat on the first day. Every team
was barred after losing two games.
The Charleston team won every
game it entered. They gained three
straight victories Friday afternoon,
eliminating one team after the other.
Jackson was the last victim Friday
night.
When the second lap of the tourna-
ment began. Pennington, Festus and
Charlottesville had only lost one game
each. The latter two teams were
eliminated by the Pennington boys
who took both games. The double vic
tory made Pennington eligible for the
deciding contest.
1t was apparent at the beginning of
the game that the two games played
by the Pennington squad during the
forenoon had taken the pep out of the
players. Charleston started the game
by scoring several field goals before
the Pennington five could make a
point. During the second game, the
Charleston team did not make any
efforts to score, but merely held the
opponents to small score.
After last nights victory the coach
of the Charleston team announced that
he would challenge the winners in the
basketball tournaments of other dis
tricts to decide the championship of
the State. a
