COUNTY CONNECTS GUT
Whipped Till Their Bodies Are Raw
 --Exp0sed to the Cold.

A visitor who is in the city from Hannebery, Ark, today (Wednes, day) gives us a few facts regarding several county conv;cts who were sent from this city by County Judge ". D, Jones last Saturday,
 There were ten in the number and they had been employed on the eanoty roads. Two Of the men were cut and bruised from severe whipping and the remaining eight were badly frost.bitten. Their hands were In such condition as to unfit them for labor. Dr. Asa Bfunson was employed by Con trac- tor John M. Oracle to- treat their hands and feet.
 We do not publish this item to in any way reflect upon Judge Jones, but to show the folly of trying te work the prisoners by the County Judge with irresp ponsible men ir charge of them. The county farm is bad enough when the proprietor is responsible for any damage oi abuse to the prisoners, but wher the poor unfortunates are turned over to men who are in no way liable for their deeds, then God hell the prisoners.
