GREEN DIES FROM
GUNSHOT WOUNDS
Johnson Acted in Self-Defense and
Was Discharged at Prelimin
ary Trial Monday
Bob Green, who was shot at
Paroquet Wed nesday of last week
by Sterling Johnson, died Thurs
day night of his wounds.
Johnson was arraigned before
Squire Saylors for preliminary
trial Monday, and was discharged,
all the evidence going to show
that Johnson acted in self-defense.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Earle Casey represented the State
in the preliminary trial, and Attor
ney J. R. Alexander appeared for
the defense.
Mrs. Green, widow of the dead
man, testified that she tried to
prevent him taking the gun and
going into Johnson’s lot, but could
do nothing with him.
Mrs. Linebaugh, who was pick
ing cotton nearby testified that
she saw Green enter Johnson’s lot
mrrvinrr « min Qnrl hrmrrl him
say: “I am coming to get you.”
Ray Jones, another eye-witness,
testified that Green cussed Johnson
and told him he was “coming after
him.” Johnson was seemingly, try
ing to hide from Green, he said.
Charley Akins testified that he
heard Green tell Johnson he was
“going to get him,” and saw Green
load his gun and take aim at John
son.
All the testimony show'ed that
Johnson had always been a peace
able and quiet man, and had never
before had any trouble with any
one. It w'as also shown that Green
was considered a “bully” and a
dangerous man. Green wras a very
large man, more than six feet tall,
was well-built, and had few equals
in physical prowess.
Green wras 40 years old and
leaves a widow and twro step-child
ren, but no children of his owTn.
He was raised in Stone county,
near Mountain View. Two broth
ers, Charley and Isom Green,came
down to attend the funeral, which
was held Friday and the remains
were buried at Mount Zion.
WALDRIP FOR JUDGE
The announcement of T. M
Waldrip as a candidate for coun
ty and probate judge will be found
in today’s paper.
Mr. Waldrip is now serving his
second term as county clerk, anc
although many good men have
served the county in this capacity
very few indeed have given the
people better service than has
been rendered by Mr. Waldrip.
He is thoroughly familiar with
the duties of the office to which
he aspires, and his past record as
a public servant is sufficient guar
antee that the duties of the office
will be conscientiously looked
j after should the people elect Mr.
Waldrip as their county judge.
BARN BURNS
F. C. Hoyt’s barn was destroyed
by fire about 2:30 o’clock Thurs
day morning. Mr. Hoyt lost two
or three tons of hay and some
other feed. Estes Kinman lost
about 25 bushels of corn and had
a fine saddle badly damaged.
It is not known how the fire
originated. The barn wras the prop
erty of Mrs. L. S. Arnold of Elmo,
who carried $200 insurance. Mr.
Hoyt had $100 insurance on the
contents.
OLD SETTLERS COME IN
The Journal wants to secure a
good group photograph of as many
of the old settlers of this commun
nity as possible, and requests all
who can do so to come in Satur
day Oct, 25, when Mr. Hartsfield

applies to all the old ladies as wel

the Moorefield neighborhood, was
selling cotton in town Saturday

refused to sell for that price and
brought it to Newark and received
13 cents for it. This is pretty
good evidence that Newark is the
best cotton market in Indepen
