IS
WILD animal
CAPTURE VERY
But That Fact Does Not Deter
the Big Circus People Who
Will Be Here.

Few who see wild animals in cages
realize the vast amount Of trouble,
danger and expense necessary to get
them there The greatest danger lies
in capturing the wild animals In their
native country. With the Hagenbeck-
wallace shows which viii give two
performances in Clarksburg Thursday,
May z, there are several hundred wild
animals, most of which were captured
in the forest and jungles OF their ma
tive country
There is no more ticklish or danger
Gus task than tracking lions In the
vast Nubian deserts. The scorching
sun pours down with such force that
few men can stand 1t. The effect on
the eyes is binding There Is little
or no shade. The wariest and most
careful hunter may be tracking an
animal, an dat the same time be
tracked by the animal he is seeking,
who may spring on him at any mo-
ment.
For capturing full-grown lions
large traps of various forms are used
One trap is square, one of the sides
lifting upon a spring like the old
fashioned mouse trap. This trap is
bafted with a piece o fresh meat, and
as soon as the lion has entered the
ira pthe door shuts down and ne Is
a prisoner. more Luhn q sSoAO VI AA0AS
with the Hagenbeck-Wallace circus
were captured In this manner.
elephants are generally caught In
moses. A number of men surround
the elephant after they have previous
" formed a circle Of fire about the
beast. The fire gets closer and closer
to the elephant and finally moose
Is thrown over his head. He 10 then
securely tied to tree and allowed ito
remain there until quiet. Tame ele-
plants are then brought into use ana

In catching snakes various devices
are used. one is to set the grass on
IRE in a circle where it is known that
snakes have hiding places. AS they
rush out they are caught in large nets
on wooden hoops to which IS
attached large bag.

The "WetS" Now
 Have Inning
Begin Presentation Cd Their Case In County Court Friday
 Morning.

Bad weather has no effect up- on the crowds that are attending the fight for license, for the us- ual number of men end women disregarded the elements with out and were on hand at 9 o'clock to hear the other side of the evidence in the application for saloon license in Newport. They found the doors of the lodge hall locked and it was not until the court arrived that members of the Odd Fellows lodge produced the key to the room where the proceedings are held in the Board building. A dance had taken place the night before and all the chairs and tables had been piled into one of the ante-rooms. They were soon arranged however and the hall took on it's court appear ance.
 The attorneys for petitioners, who are investigating the pro- hibition census, were not ready to open their case and by agree ment of counsel on both sides, the hearing was adjourned until 80, when the "wets" again asked and secured a continuance until Friday morning.
 Mir. Grant in asking more time to prepare their evidence, stated that only about 212 hours would be consumed by them, but the court in granting his re- quest intimated that he would need more time than that to re- flute the testimony presented and proposed to give them Fri day. Judge Coe said that he was getting tired of the case and hoped to conclude the hear ing as early as possible.

that one of the guards was out late one night and came to the barn lot and while getting off his horse his pistol dropped to the ground and fired, the ball struck a negro laborer who un- fortunately was standing at the gate, the ball entering the arm from rear going straight through the arm, shattering the bone and coming out in front in straight line. How the ball would take that kind of range from the ground has not been explained.
 Two days after this the negro disappeared, and at same time, a big wagon gate was jerked off, the post hinges and all and dragged part of the way to the river and part of the way rolled on the edges and ends. The re- port was that the negro must have done this making his es- cape down the river, which would have been believed by some if it had not been known the negro had a number ten foot and the tracks of the man who was at the gate were about number seven. There is an- other story told in connection with the shooting of this negro, that is not common rumor but is too interesting to detail here, but it is on ice for the proper time and it will chill the blood of any civilized person hearing it, suffice it to say that we have en- deavored to find out what be- came of this negro but were thrown off on cold trail by an alleged expression of one of the guards who puts it this way, Eff we kills him, we eats him." It may be true that the negro did not make his escape but we take it for granted that it is true that they did not eat him. These are just some of the in- stances we take the trouble to report. We assure you there are others of interest.
 We recommend that this re- port be certified to the County Court which has jurisdiction tc cancel this contract and that said contract for the lease of county prisoners be cancelled at once. If the county can't work it's own prisoners under proper conditions, then it should jai them and care for them rather than have them mistreated. We Continued on last page.)

phens were also used as charac- ter witnesses who pronounced the reputation of Joe Nickens and Ira Marshall as bad and wit nesses would not believe them on oath.
 Judge Boyce, attorney for re- mOnstrants, then attacked 6 number of the signatures to the petition alleging their illegality because the handwriting indicat- ed they were written by the same party, such as J. w. Schloss and John w. Schloss; J. E. Edwards and s. J. Edwards; A. l.. and Dora Ferguson; w. o. Simmons and Mrs E Dunk ins; C. A. Mason and Nettle Mason; w. s. Sanders and II.

Melvin and Mrs. Melvin; F. Ve Richter and K. Kirkland; Mrs i $. E. Massey and $. E. Massey.
 Judge Boyce for remonstrants offered to exchange the prOhibi- tion census for that taken by Mir. Martin, but MT. Grant re- piled that remonstrants could introduce what evidence they saw fit and reserved for his side the same privilege.
 w. M. Dunaway was introduc- ed as an expert on signatures and compared the signatures questioned above as being made by the same parties, but in his opinion only a fewof the contest ed names were signed by the same party. Mir. c. G. Henry also qualified in the same line and testified that in his opin- ion, about one-third of the names were written by the same party or either two names each bv the same parties.
 l.. s. Arnold of Elmo testified that Rosa Griffin lives on the Hurt farm 5l2 miles out in Oil Trough, moved first week in Jan uary, but was not positive and that Lizzie Starnes lives in Oil Trough.
 T. P. Umsted was placed on the stand and testified that he had census of 146O names, which he then made a court pa- per by offering it in evidence. Witness found 372 names upon petition not found upon remon- l Continued on last page.)

DelOW. or more than q year i ex-Senator John H. Keel has had a contract with the county for the working of it's prisoners and during that time, rumors have been current that condi- tions were not what they should be, but few, if any, imagined that they could be so bad as the grand jury has reported,and the members of that body, say that their language is mild.
 GRAND JURY REPORT.
 In the Jackson Circuit Court: To the Honorable Judge of the
 Third Judicial Circuit of Ark ansas:
 We the grand jury, empaneled for the Winter Term, 1914, of the Jackson Circuit Court, beg leave to submit the following as our report:
 We have investigated the cases of all parties confined in the county jail, the charges a. gainst all parties bound over to await the action of the grand jury, and offenses and misde- meanors that have been brought to our notice, and in all cases where we were of the opinion that the evidence warranted an indictment. we have returned true bills of indictment into the court.
 We have examined the reports of the various justices of the peace of the various townships of the county, but find that C. A. Arnett, who recently was ap- pointed justice of the peace tor Bryan township to succeed the late J. H. Phillips, deceased, has failed to make his report. We recommend that the county judge require that such report be made as the law directs.
 We have, by committee, wis tied the county hospital located at Jacksonport and find 8 male inmates and l female inmate, We found the building in good shape, except two leaks in roof The inmates appear to be Tn good shape. The building IS clean and well kept. The: ln' mates say that they are well feo and cared for.
 We have visited the county iail in a body and find it clean and in first-class shape. All Tn. mates report that they are wei fed and cared for. | We have examined the county court house building and find Il in good condition and well kept We recommend that new ant proper furniture be purchased to properly equip the offices o1 the various county officials.
 We have examined IA wit nesses and returned into th' court GA true bills of lndlct ', ments.
 We the grand jury, by com mittee, have made an lnvestl
 cation of the condition exlstln'
 at present and recent past a Jno. H. KeePs farm, who ma

 proportions that we feel it ou

ana the protection of prisoners, the conditions, if not abated, will at least be remedied. That our report will not be termed a gen. eral criticism, we take the ib- erty of directing your Honor's attention to the specific as well as general conditions. The prisoners, white and black, are housed, or putting it more spe- officially, huddled together with a slight partition between the whites and negroes. The bed ding and sanitary conditions are the very worst.
 That all clothing given pris- oners are charged to them and that they are forced to work out the accounts charged.
 That when medical attention was deemed necessary for the prisoners it was sometimes fur nished, but was charged to pris- oners and they were forced to work such accounts out. That in one instance coming under our investigation a prisoner suffered an injury to his hand which in- famed and swelled up, and said prisoner begged for a lay-off and medical attention, both of which were denied him, and when he failed on account of physical a. bility to come up with his side of the stick, he was severely beaten by one of the guards.
 This prisoner has now been out of the prison for two weeks and his hand is yet in a terrible con- dition.
 Prisoners are inhumanely whipped on slightest provoca- tion and frequently without cause, with big leather strap. That the guards maintained are wicked, cruel and inhumane in i their brutal treatment of prls- oners.
 , On one occasion one of such guards going into the stockade drinking, swearing and curslng sticking the muzzle of his pistol into the mouth of a sleeping prisoner (boy) and before leav- ing firing off said gun around the feet of the prisoners.
 Frequent complaints are made about the length of time kept 1T prison for the amount of fine ano costs assessed, it being claimed that they are not given proper credit for time worked. One in stance deserving of mention, ou1 Investigation discloses that a cer tain woman was taken to tht house of the contractor work ,. inp as cook for wages; sht shortly became dissatisfied witt the place and requested tha' she be permitted to go her way: with the pay due her. She wal paid, packed her suit case ant was waiting for time for boat t' leave to take her away. Whel she boarded the boat, she wa arrested by one of the guards charged with larceny of tw' dresses, taken before a loca Justice of the Peace and fine' S25 and sixty days in jail. Sh is still working out her fine an' costs.
 Investigation shows that tw trusty negro prisoners were al rected by the contractor to plac these two dresses in said sui case, and that in fact the negr : woman knew nothing of 1t what
 ever. But cooks were scare : and it is said she was a good on : and this in a state boasting ( her laws against false imprlsor t ment and in a county boasting ( the amendment to the Constltl tion of the United States. Pel
