killed his mother and then committed
suicide by shooting himself in the

Echoes From Ozark.
al to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Jan. 30.-"Echoes From the Ozarks," is the title of an attractive volume of poems issued by Mrs. Josephine E.. Crump, wife of Col. George J.. Crump, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, formerly of Harrison, Arkansas. The poems are those that have been written during a long life spent in the hills of north Ark ansaS. Some of them are based upon incidents at Fort Smith, where Col. Crump was United States Marshal during the Cleve- land administration. The poems are grave and gay, and cover a wide range of topics, but all breathe the true spirit of poesy. Some of the most beautiful of the verses are dedicated to the heroes and heroines, and his toric incidents of the lost cause.

CIRCUIT COURT
 CONTENTS MONDAY
With A Heavy Civil Docket But No Very Important Criminal
 Cases.

The winter term of the Jack son circuit court will convene in this city Monday, February 2, and the docket as set covers a period of five weeks. There are about 180 civil cases and proba- bly, 160 criminal cases, though none of the latter are very i'm portant, and most of them are in- dictments for petty misdemean- ors.
 The last term of our circuit court was burdened with the trial of so many murder cases, that few civil cases were heard, and at the coming term, Judge Jeffery expects to be able to give a hearing to this accumulated array of civil suits.
 The first week is devoted en- tirely to such cases and the dock ct as set for the term is publish ed in this issue of the Independ- ent.
