Synopsis

The Supreme Court appointed a Special Master to oversee proceedings in a dispute between Arkansas and Mississippi, granting him authority to manage pleadings, conduct proceedings, summon witnesses, and take evidence as necessary. The Court ordered that all costs associated with the Special Master and his staff be shared among the parties in proportions to be determined later, and authorized the Chief Justice to fill any vacancy in the position that might occur during a Court recess.
