JUDGE MOOSE TO PRESIDE.
Thursday would probably have
witnessed the completion of the jury
for the trial of Rufus Johnson, except
for4 the unfortunate illness of Judge
F. D. Fulkerson, who after several
days indisposition, is confined to his
bed with fever.
Upon the court’s advice that a
special judge be called to sit in this
important case, the attorneys for the
state and defendant agreed upon
Judge W. L. Moose of Morrilton. He
was located by telephone at Little
Rock and accepted the summons,
utafinor tViat wmilH «rrivp in
o
port on the first train from the south
Thursday night when a meeting of
the bar will be held at the court house.
Judge Moose is regarded as an able
exponent of the law, whose rulings
are ever fair and impartial yet firmly
made.
It is probable that the jury will be
completed Friday, though only three
have so far been accepted, and the
hearing of the case begun Saturday.
This term of court when ended, will
have been the longest in the circuit
for the past two years and the
Johnson murder trial will cost Jack
son County several thousand dollars.
White river is on quite a boom,
standing at 11. 6 feet on the guage
Thursday. Though Capt. Woodbury’s
boat, the Ozark Queen ran aground
when the guage report was 12 feet,
the hope is expressed by his friends
among local rivermen that he may
again float the boat.
