White river had fallen to 20£
feet on the local guage Monday
and as the rain and snow fall i
amounted to but .20 of an inch
precipitation, the effects will
never stop the fall of the river.
R. L. Rhodes was brought to
Batesville from Izard county by
Deputy United States Marshal J. J
F. Huddleston and arraigned be- ^
fore Commissioner Parse at j
Batesville, on the charge of ob
structing navigation. The de
fendant was required to execute
bond for his appearance be
fore the federal grand jury. A
wire cable which Rhodes had
across White river for running a
ferry is said to have capsized a
boat some months since.
An Undeserved Reflection.
The Ground Hog, and we are
willing to show him respect
and reverence by capitalizing his
cognomen, has put to route the
whole bunch of pencil pushers
and critics who have been hold
ing him up to ridicule on last
year’s record, and with one fell
stroke of a blizzard, has them
; cringing on their knees begging
for mercy and warmer weather.
They beg a woman’s privilege
too of changing their minds and
promise never to again question
the authenticity of the tradition
fViof Vila ViirrVinoaa TVTr TJncr miisl
be consulted on February 2nd for
weather prognostications. Fur
thermore, he has exacted from
the press in punishment of this
insurrection, that they forthwith
proceed to mold and crystalize
public sentiment against the
whole weather bureau of the
government and put it out of
business.
Mr. Ground Hog says he will
not be severe in consideration of
the above reparation for in j urea
feelings and promises fair and
milder weather for Arkansas to
morrow.
The snow was to have been a
foot deep but he repented of his
wrath and stopped at 2 inches.
However he gave Bro. Mercury
a good scare and the latter tried
! to hide in his boots and become
a naught. He only lacked 14
degrees of thus disappearing.
May Appoint Wood’s Brother.
Little Rock, Feb. 4.—It is reli
ably reported in statehouse cir
cles that Gov. Davis has practic- j
ally decided to appoint Judge J. '
B. Wood prosecuting attorney of!
the Hot Springs circuit to sue- *
ceed Rufner Morrison, who died
recently. Judge Wood is a
brother of Associate Justice Car
roll D. Wood, who opposed Gov.
Davis for the Democratic guber
natorial nomination in 1904, and
is the recognized leader of the
anti-gambling element in Hot
Tliici fonfinw Vioc Vinrn.
ty “ C~> ****-' v.w. - - " — — —
tofore opposed Gov. Davis in his
political aspirations. The action
of the Democratic central com
mittee of Hot Springs in ousting
the Davis men from the control
of the county organization is the '
cause assigned for the governor’s
change of heart regarding the
enforcement of the law at Hot
Springs.
