ON TRIAL FOR FILICIDE A jury was secured this morning for the trial o f James Burns, the Em she reached, the brilli- pire Indian accused o f killing Us crip axpaying room in tha pled 10-year old son. It consists of he follow ing gentlemen: George Get- tinge, Enoch Holland, Geo. Mullen, C. ?. Offleld, Samuel Breuer, T. M. Her mann, C. M. Rhodes, Edwin D. Yoak- sm, E. S. Bsrgelt, John Nielson, M. O. Hooton, and R. M. Barter. The opening sddrseees were being made this afternoon. District Attor ney Hall conducting the prosecution fh * second Liberty Loan campaign lagged for a good while in this city for lack o f organised and system atic effort to make it hum. It is lagging no longer, as the big bunch o f sub scriptions received by each o f oar tanks last night follow ing the m eet-' ing arranged by the Honor Guard girls am ply testifies. The idea o f this meeting had ift inception with the girls o f the guard, and all the arrangements made fo r it, the selection o f the speakers, the printing o f the hills and the sscuriag o f the band were theirs. About eight o’clock last night tbs band played at the F irst National Bank corner and a representative as semblage speedily gathered in which the Indies and girls were very mufh in evidence. — The speakers arrived in the ca n o f L. H. Hasard and M. O. Hawkins and the meeting was called to order by Leo. J. Cary, who introduced Mayor E. E. Johnson as the first speaker. He made a patriotic address and was followed in turn by Superintendent J. C. Almack, o f our city schools, and Judge John S. Coke, o f the Circuit court, who was introduced n s-s m for over forty years. Then came County Judge Watson, who demurred when he was presented as a man who had not been here quite as long as Judge Coke and who had lots s f friends among the sternqr sex, bet whose standing among tha ladies the chairman could "not testify to— this in allusion to his protracted bachelor hood. The Judge did not allude to th" latter matter but rather emphasised Me force whan he insisted that instead o f being a. later comer in Ooos county than Judge Coke he had lived hose longer.
