Bruce Bullion May Enter.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 23.—Efforts
are being made by friends of
Bruce T. Bullion to get him
into the race for Secretary of
State, but as yet he has given
no intimation that he will make
the contest for the office.
He will not discuss the matter,
which is characteristic with him.
Bullion was private secretary to
Governor George W. Donaghey
during his two terms of office.
He was also secretary of the
State Democratic Central Com
mittee for four years, and is now
a clerk in the office of the State
Tax Commission.
He is a native of Faulkner
county, being a graduate of Hen
drix college, and formerly an
attorney at Conway. Mr. Bul
lion was captain of a company in
an Arkansas regiment during the
Spnnish-American war, but did
not get beyond Chickamauga
Park. If Mr. Bullion announces
for the race he is bound to be a
factor, due to his extensive ac
quaintance over the state and
| the courteous treatment he .ac
I corded all while in the office t)f
j Governor Donaghey.

| Stevens Gets Pen Sentence.
Batesville, Oct. 23.—The first
penitentiary sentence indictee
■was that of Charles Stevens
convicted in the court yesterday
afternoon of a felony by a jurj
and sentenced to serve five years
in the penitentiary. He is an ig
norant young man, and perhaps
has no idea of the crime ol
which he is found guilty.
Grant Goodwin of Oil Trougt
was convicted in one case of sell
ing liquor without license an<
fined $50. Another case agains
him was dismissed on motion o
the prosecuting attorney. H
was again arrested by the feder
al authorities and held to th
federal grand jury this mornin:
on a similar charge.
Will Dickerson, charged wit
forgery, entered a demurrer t
the indictment. The demurre
was overruled and accepted.
Rube Barnett, charged wit
disturbing the peace, was trie
by a jury and acquitted.
Ben Hutchinson, charged wit
disturbing the peace, entered
plea of former conviction. Th
plea was sustained and he wf
discharged.
RETAILERS MAY
| SECURE REBATES
from Railroads In Lumber
Shipments Under Opinion
Handed Down by Wal
lace.
—
! Special to Independent.
| Little Rock, Oct. 23.—A de
cision was rendered by Judge J.
G. Wallace, special master in
settling the railroad rate re
bates, in the case of Samuel P.
i Davis vs. Ozan Mercantile Com
pany, favoring the Prescott
Mercantile firm, and which is
thought to have an indication as
to the decision in the lumber
cases which will be made next
. Wednesday.
; Special Master Wallace was
called on in this case to decide
who should get the rebate on
shipments made subject to ship
per’s order. In this case the
Ozan Mercantile Company pur
chased cotton seed hulls from
Davis, a Little Rock broker.
The hulls were shipped with a
draft attached to the bill of lad
ing, ana ueiore me car was sur
rendered the consignee must
pay for the goods, as well as the
freight. The consignee in this
case Held both bill of lading and
'expense bill, but Davis set up a
i claim for the rebate in freight,
| which was resisted by the
1 Prescott company. It was
merely a test case to solve the
right of the consignee to the re
bate.
J In his decision Special Master
j Wallace held that the title to
I the property passed from the
consignor to the consignee when
the commodity was delivered to
i the railroad company for ship
ment. When the consignor paid
the freight and the draft, the
| right of possession also passed
to the consignee. He quoted an
old liquor case in which a mail
order was filled in Little Rock
and sent to Ozark, the express
i company to collect for the pack
age. In this case the company
! was charged by a court with
selling liquor in Ozark, but the
Supreme Court held the sale
| was made at the point of deliv
ery to the common carrier.
! If the same ruling is carried
out in the lumber cases, the re
tailers will win, for they have
; all along claimed they purchas
: ed the lumber at the mills, and
• J i* 1 _ 1 •_... /in
not at. tne point ui ucuvcxj,
contended by the manufactur
ers. The manufacturers in the
'lumber contention hold the ex
! pense bills however, and if this
■ possession counts for anything
'! with Special Master Wallace,
. the manufacturers still have a
■ chance. The retail lumber deal
ers are considerably elated ovei
the decision at any rate.

C ost of The Last Term.
J he last term of the Jackson
circuit court, and it is not over
vet, for an adjourned session is
o be held in December, has cost
he county about $5,964.10, or
m amount practically the same
is the total cost of the two pre
vious terms combined, which
was $5,963.47.
These figures may be startling
to taxpayers and are the result
jf the many murder cases heard
it the last term, the costs of the
term being made up, as follows:
Cases in which nolle prosses or
acquittals were secured and the
costs thus fall against the coun
ty -$1686.10
Grand Jury—Attendance
and mileage_$ 617.85
Petit Jury—Attendance
and mileage_2,474.75
Circuit clerk’s fees_ 51,10
Jury Commissioners_ 9.00
IT 7 * A_1 A* 1

Sheriff ’s fees and mil
eage _ 636.30
Board for juries in murder
cases (estimated) __ 500.00
Total court expense_$6,352.10
To offset this heavy expense
$325 was received in fines, $42
for jury tax in criminal cases
and $21 in civil cases, or a total
credit of $388, which reduces
the cost of the term thus far to
$5,964.10 as previously stated
There is no reason to believe
that our next term of court w'ill
be so expensive as this, proba
bly the heaviest in the history
of the county and as the assess
ment of the county has proba
I bly been raised one-fifth, the
inext settlement should still re
tire the whole scrip indebted
ness of the county.
