DISMISSED THE SUIT.
Mysterious SANDER Charge Brought
Against Judge Turner as Mys-
terlouSly Withdrawn.

Against Judge Turner as Mys-
terlousy Withdrawn.
From Tuesdays Fort Smith Times.
Some two or three months ago con.
siderable excitement was created by the
filing of a suit against Judge Jesse
Turner of Van Buren,, to recover dam
ages in the sum of 500 900 for alleged
slander. The plaintiff was one L. NJ.
Fowler who, the complaint alleged, was
women of good repute who had been
deprived of the companionship of good
women and had been refused admittance
to a hotel because of the slanderous
statements made concerning her by
Judge Turner. A careful reading of the
complaint developed that at the time OF
the alleged commission of the complain
ed of ofense Judge Turner was sick at
his home and not in the locality design
ated by the complaint. Judge Turner
expressed desire that the case should
be tried as soon as possible as he was
very desirous of having the plaintiff in
court though he had not the slightest
idea that there was in existence such a
person. It seems that the Crawford
County bank of which Judge Turner is
the president, has had a good deal of
litigation with John London, we'll
known resident of the territory, over
the title to some land and that the name
of l.. NJ, Fowler appeared in some of
the transfers of land alleged to have
been made but beyond that nothing ap.
peared to be known of the women. On
Monday evening Judge Read received,
through Jake Hodges of Paris, Tex.
letter purporting to have been signed
by IL, NJ. Fowler, and written at
Amarillo, Tex, saying that upon care
full investigation she had discovered that
Judge Turner never made use of the
language attributed to him and which
formed the basis of her suit for damages
and that she very much regretted that
the mistake had occurred. The clerk
of the court here has received a notice
from the attorney for the plaintiff to
dismiss the suit which will of course be
done. The genuineness Of the letter
received by Judge Read is attested to
by Tom Neal of the territory, who is
interested with Mr.. London in some
business transaction. Mr.. Neal affirms
that such woman as Miss l.. NJ.
Fowler exists.

jury Report.

The grand jury completed it's labors
late Saturday evening after having been
in session five days, and reported as
follows:
To THE Hon, j II. EVANS,
Judge of the Crawford Circuit Court
The grand jury for the June term,
1903, beg leave to submit this, its re.
port:
We have been In session five days and
have examined 1853 witnesses and re-
turned l0l indictments. Several cases
were ignored on account Of finsufliciency
Of testimony, and, In this connection,
we would recommend that justices Of
the peace make more careful and dill
gent investigation Of cases brought be-
fore them and hold cases for investiga-
tion by the grand jury only when they
believe the testimony Is sufficient to
cause conviction, We have refused
to encourage the taking up OF misde-
meanors by the grand jury when the
spirit of "spite work alone WAS man.
ifest. The "I'll get even with you
when the grand jury sets policy should
in our Judgment, be discouraged, We
recommend that when disturbances and
differences arise the township officers
take them up like men and sworn Off
GERS Of the law and settle them at home
thus saving the county great expense,
and promoting stronger ties Of friend.
ship and good citizenship In their re-
spective neighborhoods
We are very glad to note that very
large percentage Of the resident popula-
! ton Of the county are prosperous, hap
py, law.abid!ng and God loving people
We feel justified In congratulating tho
people upon the growing tendency TO
tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, under oath, A
few have bad memories and u faulty
vision, but rs rule, we believe there
was less false.swearing than usual,
The township and county officers can
not be too vigilant In enforcing the laws
against gambling, selling whiskey on
Sunday, aud giving or selling II to mi
nors, With these evils corrected the
condition Of the county would be moral
and peaceful
We have examined the jail and find
its condition M good m Ia consistent
with its crowded condition, The pris'
oners are properly fed and cared for
We return our thanks TO the judge OF
this court Tor the careful and painstak
ing treatment shown rs TO the prose
