From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays DaiS. WIT
 No indictment against I. w.. ("Bud") Reynolds, who was charged with assault with intent to kill for firing a charge of shot at Ed An drews of Republican, was returned by the Faulkner county grand Jury and the final report of that pody, which adjourned late Saturday after noon, shows that the case agalnst Reynolds was dismissed. It is under stood that Reynolds made no denial of the shooting, but the fact that he had recently been confined in the state in- sane asylum and that the defendant had considerable provocation for hls act is thought to have convinced the grand jury that he could not ee con victed of the crime.
 Twenty-three indictments against 25 persons were returned by the grand jury during it's session, the number being larger than that of any previous grand jury in the past two years. Of the indictments returned q considerable portion were for felony charges. None of the parties indlct- ed have as yet been placed under ar rest,except the two negroes, John Pet CTS and Criswell Yeargin, who were sentenced to the penitentiary
 Besides the case of T. W. Reynolds, five other charges were Investigated and dismissed by the grand jury. They were as follows: Dr. I. s. Snoddy, failure to report contiguous diseases; 0. F. Graham and D. A. Mcknight, disturbing the peace; Mack Woolley, arson; Floyd Ball and Rabe Tiilley, fighting; Cecil Newber- ". Lee James, Dewey James and Al vey Good, petit larceny. The case of Woolley was an investigation of the recent burning of a schoolhouse m in Mathews township. 1t IS stated that the only evidence agains~ hlm was that two blood hounds brought to the scene of the fire tracked to Wool ley E house.

Clark, for n2er prosecuting attorney and unsuc- eessful candidate for circuit judge of tie Seventeenth district, who was giv- .ea one of the places.
 hilnough no announcement was made of the fact, it is understood that Governor Hays favored the removal of MT. Clark, but was out-voted by Attorney General Moose and Secre- tary of State Earle Hodges, the other two members of the board. The fact that the three men selected were pe- titioned by every one of the Democrat ic county nominees and by 23 of the 27 Democratic township committeeman, was a strong factor in securing their appointment.
 At yesterdays hearing large dele- gation was present from this county, and the arguments before the state board consumed more than one hour. Judge P. H. Prince and R. G. Bruce of Conway and Thomas c. Trimble, Jr., of Lonoke, urged the removal of MT. Clark from the county board and County Judge J. ". Holt and A. M. Ledbetter spoke in favor of his reten- tion After hearing the arguments the board went into executive session and a few minutes later announced that no change would be made in the commissioners selected for Faulkner county.
