twelfth member of the jury which is
to try Rufus Johnson for the killing
of James Cole, was added to the list
of those already accepted, in the
name of T. W. Hunter, living near the
White River bridge. The attorneys
for the defondant had exhausted the
number of rejections allowed, 24, and
were compelled to accept the last
named juror, when he had been taken
by the state’s attorneys, who are
allowed only ten rejections.
Following are the names of the
jurors, added since list of Friday was
published, together with their occu
pations:
J. P. Tislow, timberman of Weldon.
T. J. Boon, timberman of Weldon.
Joe Duncan, farmer of Tuckerman.
W. E. Hults, farmer of Elgin.
W. L. May, farmer of Auvergne.
T. W. Hunter, timberman of New
port.
ENCOURAGEMENT NECESSARY.
That section of Arkansas betwen
Hoxie and Little Rock may get an ex
tension of the Frisco system that was
projected early last fall but did not
develop. It is the proposed exten
sion of the Hoxie branch of the St.
Louis, Memphis & Southern lines of
the Frisco system. These lines were
taken over by the Frisco after the
Hoxie-Little Rock extension was put
on foot. It is officially stated that the
reason the extention has not been
commenced is because the business
interests of Little Rock have not given
it the proper encouragement.
Such is the substance of an inter
view by Newman Erb to the Memphis
News, while upon a recent visit to
that city. Erb was formerly president
of the St. Louis, Memphis and South
eastern before acquired by the Frisco.
