C. T. Gotham, circuit judge.
 J. B. Wood. prosecuting attorney
 Governor Donaghey last night at Little Rock announced the above as his appointiye officers for the new judicial district of Garland and Mont gomery counties.
 The appointment of J. B. Wood, the reform prosecuting attorney will not be in the nature of surprise, since there was tacit understanding De- fore the bill creating the new district became law that his office would not be interferred with.
 In naming C. T Gotham the gov ernor will furnish quite a surprise locally, since A. J. Murphy of the locaI bar, had the unanimous endorsement of this organization. and since Clip Witt, of Montgomery county, was con sidered the next strongest candidate for the plum.
 The office is good one, paying s. 900 per annum. The appointments of both offices is for a period of about one year and one half, unless a spe- cial election should be called by the governor, the bill giving him the right to call special election if he consid- CTS this necessary to suit the will of the people.
 Mir. Gotham is well known here, as well as in state political circles. He has been a candidate here but was defeated for the office to which he as pired, but in recent service as spe- cial prosecutor he made good with the various duties of that office, and his policies were so popular that he made many friends during that tenure.
 The terms of the legislative enact ment make the offices operative at once. and next Monday morning Judge c. T. Gotham will open the regular term of circuit court in this city, while Prosecutor Wood will continue his work as public prosecutor.

 The allegation that the creation of the corner was violation of the law is dismissed, the court holding that even If the combintion in question be a violation it is so because it is an involuntary restraint of trade, l. e., it is a conspiracy entered into by per sons not engaged in interstate com merce which has the effect of prevent ing other persons from freely engag ing in it."

PLUNGED INTO BROOK
ALIGHTlNG FROM CAR
B. Gianini Thought He Was Stepping
Off at Blackwell Street-Was Res
cued by Conductor.

Alghting from southbound car near
Blackwell street last evening at 6:45
o'clock, Beuvenuto Gianini suddenly
himself plunging down into the swollen
waters of Gunner brook which runs
along TO the river under the street rail-
way trestle at that point. Passengers
on the car saw the accident and at
tracted the attention Of Conductor John
Clogston, who stepped from the car
and jumped into the water after the
man.
In the stress of the moment, Gianini
became bewildered and was thrashing
helplessly about in the brook when
Clogston came to his aid. Although the
water Is only waist deep in the brook,
Gianni might have lost his life before
recovering his presence Of mind. Clog
ston assisted the man to the banks,
where it was found that neither had
suffered any i'll effects beyond a good
drenching
1t is probable that Gianini failed to get
his bearings directly on coming out Of
the lighted car. as it was dark in the
neighborhood Of Blackwell street at the
time. Evidently he thought that the
car had proceeded to the Blackwell
street crossing and stepped off accord
ingly. Had the water been at higher
level. as is the case in early spring,
the task of reaching shore might have
been impossible.
