AN OLD CITIZEN GONE
JUDGE W. D. JOHNSON SUDDEN
LY PASSES AWAY AT HIS
HOME IN THIS CITY.
A Long Life of Activity and Useful
ness Brought to a Sudden
but Peaceful Close.

Judge w. ID. Johnson, an Old and
highly respected citizen of this city
and county, died suddenly at his
home on West Fifth avenue at 6:30
O'Clock p. nj. yesterday after Il brief
Illness.
His death was entirely unexpected
and was n great shock to the COM
munity. He was taken sick last
Sunday night, but no one, not even
his. family or physicians, regarded
his Illness as being serious or danger
Gus until noon Thursday, when he
took n sudden change for the worse
and the physicians pronounced his
condition critical. At that hour he
became unconscious and remained so
until the time of his death, when his
life went out like flash of light.
His death-bed was surrounded by
his entire family, with the exception
of his youngest daughter, Mrs. Robt.
S. Truloek, who lives ut lei Reno,
oklahoma, and who received the
first information OF her fathers i'll
ness late yesterday afternoon by
wire. The lifelong friends and
neighbors also quietly gathered in
as soon as 1t became known that the
Judge was seriously i'll, and paid
their sad tributes of respect to one
who had been to all n friend, father,
adviser and counsellor. and who
after n long life OF usefulness, quietly
passed away without leaving one
enemy behind.
Judge Johnson was one OF the old
landmarks OF Pine Bluff. lie came
to this city before the war, and saw
II grow from IA small country village
to city OF the first-class. As n real
estate dealer he largely contributed
10 this result and mo new conner ever
received more cordial welcome
upon his arrival in Pine Rluif than
he received at the hands OF Judge
Johnson. He was we'll known
throughout the length and breadth
Of the county and was everywhere
respected. To white and bhTeh
rich or poor, he was always ready
10 extend his advice, counsel and
sympathy whenever needed. and

gang" took him in hand. This is a
gang of young thievish hoodlums
and they wanted him to walk on the
water, as he said he would. They
said they would see that he did not
drown, for they would tie a rope to
one Of his feet, but he fled. The
crowd followed him to the trolley
car, throwing stones, some Of which
struch him.
After the 'healer' got on the car
some one struck him back of the
neck with his fist. He was not
much hurt, however. Schrader
went south on the katy and left

PINE BLUFF BICYCLIsTs SWEEP
THE FIELD AT CLAREN.
DON.
OlcOtt, KilrOy, Wells Easily the
Victors and the Idols Of the
Eager Crowd.

In days of old when knights were
bold they went forth to do battle fol
country or lady faire astride q
prancing charger. The hearts OBJ.
jeetive sat enthroned, in purple and
gold bedight, to watch the conflict
to the bitter end.
Today the knight who means to
wiz glory and woman's love must
wear knee pants and vote for Bryan;
nor does his souls delight always sit
enthroned away from the object of
her admiration, neither does she
dress in purple and gold. She wears
boomers, and if the ambitious
knight be too presumptious, she,
herself, will trot him a heat
The flower OF Pine Bluffs cycling
chivalry went to Clarendon to do"
everything that walks, rides, flies,
creeps, erawls or has its being. And
they did it. The races were success
full and the Clarendon people treated
our boys with especial considera-
ton and courtesy.
The first race was half mile open
for ameteurs, 3 heats. This was
very exciting. Kilroy of Pine Bluff
passed the tape first Prize $25. 90
suit OF clothes.
In the second race one-half mile,
boys under II, Pine Bluff was again
vitorious. The race was given to
Arthur Wells whose work seemed
to enthuse the entire crowd Prize
$1,000 medal.
In the third race one mile open
our boys did It all Oleott won,
Kilroy second, First prize mar
bilized clock. Second prize Eureka
shaving set.
The fourth race one mile, boys
under II, was won by a Forrest City
man appa, entity old enough to be
Arthur Wells father and yet Arthur
came second.
The fifth race was captured by
Hicks, of Little Rock. Our man,
Olcott, came second.
The last race was county affair
an which, of course, Pine Bluff had
mo share.
Thus it will be seen that of the
five possible races in which Pine
Bluff was admitted our representa-
tives captured something in each.
They came home with three first
prizes and three second These
riders will all take part in the
bicycle meet to be given under the
