well as the members of the jury

viously had a good record. He has
a crippled brother and was practi-

er. He was convicted last Deem
Der in the Sebastian circuit court

BIG DRAINAGE SCHEME PLANNED

Black Rocl.-Petitions have been
presented before the county courts
Of this and Creme county for the
purpose of deepening, dredging and
Strengthening Cache river, the boun-
Diary line between the two counties.
The necessary initial orders were
made by the respective judges OF
the two counties, appointing view
ers and an engineer. The estimat-
ed cost of the drainage will be IN
the neighborhood of 100000, but
it will be of almost inestimable
benefit to the cities along the pro-
posed drain, in that a vast area of
land will be opened up for farms
and the health of the whole eastern
part Of the county will be greatly
improved by taking off a vast
amount of surface water. Lawrence
county already has Is public drains,
retaining much of the lowlands,
and it is anticipated that there will
be no opposition to this much larger
Cache river drain.
