WRITES OF HIS NEW HOME.
[. ). Brock Formerly of Jackson County Writes to the friends of His Old
 Home.

Milburn, I. T., Feb. P, 1906. To the INDEPENDENT:
 We'll boys, as all of you are readers of the Independent and as I promised to write, I will drop you few lines in the most welcome Independent. I will give some of the advantages of this section, which is an all round good country I tn nk for a poor mana good farming country, also a good stock country. Hogs run out the year around. Horse and cattle winter themselves in some sections of the country. Grass is green in the flats now and the cattle and horses are grazing some.
 This is a timber country of
Newport daily independent., 1906-02-24

black sandy land and will raise anything most you want to plant. Corn makes from twenty to fifty bushels per acre, cotton from one-half to a bale. Some land is being sold bringing from S10 to $40 per acre and you can rent this land from $2 to S3 per acre.
 We are surrounded by good little towns, among them Mill burn, which is new and building fast. It has a railroad and an other is promised. This section is fast settling up. It is a good healthy farming country and this part of the territory needs more good farmers. There are thousands of acres of good land here that have never had a stick Of timber cut oil.
 Now boys don't come out here expecting to see money growing on these blackjack bushes, for it don't come that way. You have to make it here like you do there by hard work. And don't come thinking you will find a better country than Arkansas for that isn't here. The only difference is, health is good and land rents are cheap. l would adv4se you to come and see for yourself before moving.
 We'll boys. l would like to be back and help to thin the can didates out to a good stand for l see some of my friends are on the ticket l would like to vote for. If this country comes into statehood 1 guess we will soon have some candidates of our own and as they are so thick in Jack son county if they miss their landing we invite them to come out here and try their hand. We'll, dear Editor let the good old Independent come on as fast as Uncle Sam can carry her. With best wishes to all of you and success to the Independent. E. J. BROCK,

PLENTIFUL WATER SUPPLY.
Work At Head OF Pipe Line Is About
Complete.

During the past two months the town
of Delta has been working a large force
of men at the head of the pipe line
making improvements that it is conf

of the trouble experienced last winter
and insure reliable and adequate sup
ply of water during the winter months.
In fact the Board of Trustees confident
ly predicts that all pumping will be
avoided. on account of the improve
ments that are now almost complete.
A tight dam with good foundation
has been put in which will stop all loss
of water from the upper lake where
the winter intake of the pipe line is 10
Gated. The supply of water has been
materially increased by piping in a low

1t was necessary to pipe 1000 feet in
order to secure the water from this
large one. The slide rock, that caused
the loss of water last year. has been
removed and substantial clay dam
constructed. which puts the intake ten

So Says Coroner's Jury at Inquest
Over Body Of David Myers
at HOtChkisS.
WILLIAM REYNOLDS EXONERATED.
Tragedy Occurs In DoueherY's Pool Room and
Bad xhiskey Said To Be
Responsible.

Last Friday night, Oct. 5th. at II p.
m. tragedy occurred in the usually
peaceful town of Hotchkiss. resulting
in the death of David Myers a we'll
known character of the town II seems
that Myers had been hard drinker and
when under the influence of liquor was
quarrelsome and ugly. He was in
Dougherty's pool room on the night of
the tragedy and was carrying an over
load of bad whiskey. something it is al
ways dangerous to have about. He
wanted to borrow money from the pro-
prietor of the pool room and being re-
fused became abusive. Dougherty tried
to induce him to leave but he broke
away and stepping behind the counter
picked up revolver. At this juncture
William Reynolds interferred and tried
to take the gun away from Myers.
During the scuftle the weapon was dis
charged and the bullet entered Myers
groin. He died early Saturday morn
ing. He is survived by mother, bro
ther and sister.
DR.. Burgin. county coroner, went to
Hotchkiss Saturday. impannelled jury
and held an inquest over the body of
Myers. After hearing the evidence of
eye witnesses and looking into the case
carefully the jury decided that Myers
came to his death purely accidental and
that Reynolds was in 10 way to blame
We understand the verdict has given
almost unanimous satisfaction to the
people of Hotchkiss.
In the death of Myers there is a les
son for all those who cannot take a
drink without taking too much. Such
a one had a thousand times better leave
liquor alone altogether.
