had inherited about $40,000
from a relative she hadn’t
heard from in more than 30
years.
Mrs. Bristol said she was
left the money by a cousin, Eu-
gene Cherry, who died last De-
cember in California. She said
they were playmates back in
La Porte, Ind., but separated
in 1919 when he went to Cali-
fornia and she came to Texas,
j "My daughter first told me
about it," she said. “I thought thing
she had gone crazy or sorae-
; thing. Then a lawyer in St.
[Louis called me about it”
1 Trustees of Cherry’s estate
advertised in a La Porte, Ind.,
newspaper, hoping that Mrs.
Bristol still lived there and
would answer. A women editor
in La Porte spotted the ad, no-
tified Mrs. Bristol’s ’daughter
in Louisiana, who in turn con-
tacted her mother and the St
Louis attorney, who was han-
dling the estate.
The attorney finally called
Mrs. Bristol and notified
of the estate.

FIRST COTTON
BALE IN TEXAS
BRINGS $1,725
Houston, Tex., June 18.—
The first bale of cotton to be
ginned from this year’s crop
brought a record $3 a pound
at auction today.
It was grown by Slyvester
Martinez, -51-year-old farmer
of La Grulla, Texas, and it
was bought for $1,725.
The 575-pound bale was
auctioned on the floor of the
Houston Cotton Exchange to
Joe Miller of Miller and com-
pany, cotton merchants.
Martinez, who speaks prac-[
tically no English, also receiv-
ed a bonus of $1,325, making
a grand total of $3,054 for the
bale.
The previous record price
was paid to Pablo Fivera, also
of La Grulla, in May last year.
He got $2.10 a pound and a
grand total of $2,585 for his
bale.
Auctioneer J. M. Locke,
president of the Houston Cot-
ton Exchange, said the ceiling
price on cotton is 45.84 cents
per pound.
We’ll give Slyvester aay-
above that as a prize,”
he said. “I hope Mr. DiSallc
won’t mind.”
Miller said he would give
the bale to Walter Winchell to
be auctioned off for the Da-
mon Runyon cancer fund.
“I’m sending Winchell a
telegram today, and I am also
asking Capt Eddie Ricken-
backer, president of the East-
ern Airlines, to fly the bale to
New York,” Miller said.
