Craven appeared shocked and

kins said he'd pay $1,000 for their re
turn.
While this was going on, Bert and
Edith were getting closer to death
each moment. The water" was up to
their chins now and Bert lifted Edith
up on his shoulder to protect her fur

Dr. c. M. Capps of Tennessee Will Sink We'll Near Newport, Begin-
 ming in May.

Drilling for oil In Jackson county, one mile north of the Black river bridge, will begin in May, according to information which has come to the Independent. The well will be sunk by Dr. c. M. Capps of Knoxville, Tenn, who owns HOO acres of land in the section near the Black river bridge, and we are told that he has already practically closed all prelim- mary arrangements for the work of drilling. Dr. Capps was here short time ago looking after the matter.
 We are told that Dr. Capps will form a stock company and attempt to interest Jackson county capital in the project. He has already raised $14,- 900 for the work, and, according tos the reported plan, will offer his ], 100 acres to stockholders at about $80 per acre, each stockholder in this manner sharing in the product of the well. He proposes to sink about four wells, but we have not learned the greatest depth he intends to drill be- fore abandoning single well. The average we'll is brought in at from 2,7OO feet to $500 feet. ssI The report of geologists is very favorable for oil in the section where the drilling is to commence, and a1; different times in the past few yeAxS! experienced oil men have visited tl1ss county in an effort to interest our ssSSple, but failed to secure encour~ po 2 arsm,llt, llt it is claimed.

REPORT IF GRAND
 JURY MADE TODAY
Thirty Seven Bills of Indictment Are Returned Adverse Report On
 Jail and Hospital.

The grand jury for the February term of Jackson circuit court was discharged today, after returning 37 true bills of indictments and examin- ing 99 witnesses, being in session 9 days. During the session of the grand jury an investigation into the lynching of a negro here few weeks ago was made, but no indictments were returned, no evidence being ob- tainable, we are told
 Following is the report of the body: To the Honorable Dene H. Coleman,
 Judge:
 We, the Grand Jury, beg leave to report as follows:
 We have investigated all violations of the law of which we have had knowledge or received information, and in all cases where the evidence warranted it, we have returned true bills of indictment.
 We have been in session nine days, examined 99 witnesses and returned into the court 37 true bills of indict- ment.
 We have, by Committee, visited the County Hospital and find therein eight inmates. We found conditions there d3eplorable. The building in very bad repair, several wifasa99x wifsaa99xVs lights out, roof leaky, condition of interior of same very unsanitary bedding filthy, no adequate heating facilities, inmates very poorly clothed and poorly fed We are in- formed by the parties keeping the house that within the past year one inmate has died of tuberculosis. The room which this inmate inhabited is
Newport daily independent., 1919-02-13

in same condition as when party died, excepting removal of bedding, the room never having been cleansed or fumigated. The privies on premises are in very unsanitary condition.
 We have visited the county jail and did not find it in a sanitary condition. Several windows are out, there is a large hole in the roof, and the heat ing plant is out of commission, and the stoves used for heating building are inadequate, the prisoners hover ing around small oil heaters. We would recommend that the heating plant be repaired and put back in commission. We found bedding in the jail very filthy and inadequate. The toilets, wash basins, and bath tubs are in a very filthy condition and we urgently recommend that this be attended to at once.
 Several windows in the Court House building are broken out and same parts of the building are not kept as cleanly as they should be.
 Reports have been received froom all Justices of the Peace within the County and same examined.
 In conclusion we desire to extend our thanks to the Court House Off, cials for courtesies shown us during our deliberations, and having finished our labors, we respectfully asked to be discharged.

WESLEY SHAVER |s
 CALLED BY DEATH
Tuckerman Citizen, We'll Known In This Section, Succumbs to Pneu-
 monia and Appendicitis.

Death claimed one of Jackson coun- tvs best known and well liked citizens Wednesday night at ' o'clock when Wesley M. Shaver, aged 43 years, passed away at his home in Tucker man. Mir. Shaver's death was due to pneumonia and appendicitis, which followed an attack of influenza from which he suffered greatly a few months ago, MT. Shaver never re- gaining his normal strength.
 Funeral services will be held at the family residence Friday morning at ten o'clock, burial following at Hick- ory Grove.
 Mr. Shaver is survived by his wife and two children, Edwin, aged 13, and Charles, aged 8. His father and mo- ther, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shaver, reside at Evening Shade, Sharp county, but because of their advanced years, they were unable to be at their sons bedside. o. c. Shaver, a broth CT, resides at Evening Shade, and a sister, Mrs. A. w. Jernigan, resides at Little Rock. The deceased was a brother of the late Eugene Shaver, who resided in Newport. Mrs. Shaver is sister of c. L. Smith of Newport
 Mir. Shaver was born and reared at Evening Shade, where he grew to manhood under the tender care of loving Christian parents. He left home and came to Tuckerman several years ago, and by reason of his strength of character, unfailing in- tegrity and intelligence at once gained place in the affairs of the town and county. He was first prin- cipal of the schools of Tuckerman, where he established splendid re- cord as an instructor. Later he served two terms as county superin- tendent, giving much time and thought to that department of work, greatly to the lasting benefit of the county. Serving one term, that of 1915, in the state legislature as rep resentative from Jackson county, MT. Shaver acquitted himself greatly to the satisfaction of the county in general as law-maker, though he did not offer for second term.
 MT. Shaver was recognized leader in the Methodist church, into which he put full share of his religious principles and untiring efforts for Christianity. As member of the Woodmen of the World he filled the most hnportant offices within the gift of the order. and was recognized throughout the state as leader in Woodcraft.
 At the time of his death MT. Sha- yer was secretary of the Citizens Light & Power Company of Tucker man. Lately he had been assisting in securing the extension of a line from Newport to Tuckerman, which now furnishes electricity for that place. He assisted in personally supervis- ing the building of this line, and his failing health it is said resulted from physical exertion which he spent during the time of the lines erection.
 MT. Shaver for several years was correspondent for the Newport lnde- pendent at Tuckerman, resigning the place few months ago when he en- tered other work which required his time and attention. As corres- pondent MT. Shaver served both the Independent and his community in faithful and capable manner, and his
