FLOUR TAKES ANOTHER
ADVANCE IN PRICE

The second advance in two weeks
in the price of flour was announced
yesterday by local millers and jobbers
when a raise of 20 cents a barrel
was announced. This advance is due
to the continued rise in the price of
wheat, which yesterday reached the
new high mark of $1.46 a bushel.
From present indications the most
serious wheat shortage the world has
known since 1917 will be experienced
this year, according to local millers.
The drought when the wheat was
sown and the continued drought
the winter is expected to
hurt the wheat in the mid
die western states.-Splingfeld Re-

VELMA PINNELL WINS $4,000
JUDGMENT AGAINST FRISCO

Sizer & Gardner, attorneys for Vel
ma Pinnell, widow of Paul Pinnell,
deceased, returned late Thursday
night from court at Carthage where
they attended the trial of the case of
Pinnell VS.. Frisco, which was suit
brought for the death of Paul Pin
nell while riding as a passenger on
train No. 403, which was run into
and wrecked at Racine, Missouri, by
an extra freight train on the night
of November 30, 1920. The case was
on trial all day Thursday in Division
No. 2, before Judge Grant Emerson,
and the jury went out that night and
in about thirty minutes returned with
verdict for the full amount allowed
by the statute, in the sum of $4,000.
This case was hotly contested be-
cause of the fact that Paul Pinnell
was riding on free transportation,
and the Company lawyers contended
that the release upon the back of the
pass exonerated them from the pay
ment of any sum for the death of
Paul Pinnell. Mrs. Pinnell's attor-
neys produced decisions showing that
Notwithstanding the release on the
back of the pass, Paul Pinnell was un-
der age and, therefore, could not leg
ally release the Company from negli-
gence which caused his death, and al
so showed that even though he was
riding upon an annual pass and had
signed the release while minor, vet
the pass being issued in Missouri, and
was being used in Missouri, and the
accident occurring in Missouri brought
the case under the Missouri laws, and,
therefore, the decisions of this state
and the Federal decisions made the
Company liable; and the court so in
structed the jury, that the free pass
was no defense or bar to plaintiffs |
cause of action.
Sizer & Gardner of Monett repre-
sented the plaintiff, and Mann &
Mann Of Springfield, District attor-
1eys for the Frisco, and Judge How
ard Gray of Carthage represented
he defendant Railroad Company.

WHY SET APPLE TREES NOW?

Because there are over so per cent
less apple trees now than there were
in 1910, according to the Washington
Bureau of reports. There are also
over so per cent less peach trees than
in 1910. What will be the result :?
There is going to be scarcity of
fruit in few years, therefore now is
a fine time to get into the game. We
have the biggest and incest block of
TWO YEAR old trees we have ever
grown, including Black Ben, Ben
Davis, Gano, Staymens Winesap,
Grimes, King David, Jonathan, and

CHECK RAISER ARRESTED - -.
AT MONETT
B. Beasley, Stranger, Changes $2.O0
Bills to $1,000. Fraud Discovered
at BOwen's Confectionery.

j A stranger, whose name is 3. Beas-
| ley, according to letters found in his
pockets passed bill which had been
raised from $500 to $1,000 at Bowen's
confectionery, Friday. Durward GoOcl
the clerk, discovered the fraud before
the man was out of sight and notified
the officers. The fellow was arrested
at Globe telegraph office while wait
ing for feeight by officers w. H.
Long and ]. A. johnson.
The bill raising was quite cleverly
done and was not noticeable to a
casual observer. The man went into
Bowen's confectionery and bought
three cigars, giving the bill in pay
ment. He received $9.75 in change. He
had a finger off each hand and Dur
ward Gooch noticed by the peculiar
way he held his fingers in an attempt
to hide the fact of his missing mem
bers, that something was wrong. He
Immediately went and looked at the
bill he had just changed, ana saw the
deception.
The arrest was made through the
telegraph operator at Globe. He had
heard the officers telegraphing to
Springfield giving description of the
man, when stranger went into the
Globe station. The operator asked him
why he was walking when he could
just as well ride. He told him that
freight would be along soon and he
could ride. The fellow sat down to
wait, and the operator telegraphed
to the police at Monett, who immed-
lately went out and got him.
Beasley put up hard fight and it
was with great difficulty that he was
brought to Jail. He would give no ac-
count of himself or his people, and the
only information as TO his name was
secured from letters. in his pocket.
Two other raised bills were found in
his clothing.
The Monett officers telegraphed to
fedora! officers at Kansas City and
are waiting for instructions as to tie
disposal of the prisoner, he having
committed a federal crime.

Lockwood Hospital.

Miss Edith Lockwood has furnished
some interesting figures concerning her
little hospital. She opened the hos
pital Jan. l, 1919. During the first
year 200 patients were cared for. In
1920 245 patients, in 1921 240 and to the
present time in 1922 165. During the
first year 20 babies were born in the
hospital, and in the following years 48,
81 and IS Q922), respectively. Only
eight deaths have occurred during the
period, and three of these were acct
dent cases beyond the power of doctor
and nurse to save. In three years and
eight months of $50 patients, all but
five cases were discharged from the in
stitution either well or improved enough
not to need hospital care. The record
is worthy of mention.

Bad Bow.

The freight Office of the c. M. & st.
r. depot here was broken into Sunday
evening. A window pane was removed,
the front of the cash drawer was
smashed in by hammer found in the
depot, and about $4,000 in cash taken.
The job was done by local boy not
yet eight years old. The next morning
his identity became known and Chief
Springer brought him in and questioned
him in Hruska's court. At first he
tried to implicate another boy, but a
young fellow about Is years old had
seen the kid at work, and also that he
came away alone. Tuesday he admitted
that he had done the job single handed.
The district attorney at GAINESVILLE was
consulted. The officials of Edgerton
together with the district attorney
agreed to place the boy on probation
and not at this time send him to Wau-
kesha. The mother of the boy was
held responsible for the child. He must
not come down town any time except
in company with his parents; when
school opens he must march directly to
school and return home as soon as his
classes are dismissed. The case is open;
the minute he falls from grace he will
be nabbed and given his deserts.
This also clears up the robbery of the
Universal Grocery Co. till q couple of
weeks ago; the same boy was respon-
si6le for that job. The parents of the
boy have promised to restore the stolen
money. He had only $500 left of the
amounts taken, though he claims to
have showed the balance of the cash
taken from the depot till back through
the window; if he did, somebody else
got it,; it is gone.
