JACKSON COUNTY
 MAN FOUND DEAD
Thought to Have Been Killed by Train, But Later Tndi-
 cations Point to Murder

Russell Beck. a white man about g years of age, was found dead beside the Ml,. souri Pacific track about a mile south of White river Thursday of last week.
 It was at first thought that he had been accidentally kill ed by one of the early morn. ing fast trains, but at the cor oner3s inquest, held late Thurs day afternoon, which did not finish it's work until Friday noon, a verdict that Russell Beck came to his death through the use of a sharp in strument in the hands of an unknown person was return ed.
 The case has caused eonsid- erable discussion and very few are new holding to the belief that death was accidental, most of them being of the be- lief that Beck was murdered near his home and the body placed beside the railroad track to cover the murder.
 The only evidence of an in- jury was a gash on the side of the head, made, perhaps with an axe. Beck was mar ried last February to Mrs. Will Sutherland. Beck's fun- eral was held Friday after noon at Newport.
 It is generally believed that Beck was murdered and his body placed beside the rail road track in an effort to con- ceal the crime.

TERRACING

The County Agent has no- ticed in going over the county that there are many farms that need terracing badly. Erosion not only forms deep gullies causing direct loss of land for cultivation, but wash es away the upper part of the soil which is the most fertile sart. It is 'lot necessary in terraeing to lose any part of the land for cultivation ex- eept where the slona is unus- ually steep. On moderate slopes the rows can be run across the terrace, or better still, can be run parrellel to the terrace with one row OH top of it. If your field is washing figure on putting in some terraces. The County Agent will gladly help you in every way possible.

WHAT IF SOMEONE
 GOT APOT OF GOLD?
Unknown Parties Are Believ- to Have Unearthed Hid
 den Treasure

The talk of drilling for oil in this neighborhood, and the gold fever which was preva- lent in this section of the coun- ty some time ago, and the talk of people finding great chunks of platinum in their wells and going out and dig ging up various kinds of min- erals right in their own back .aro $, eviden2 ' put someone to thinking who has a fascina- ti3E tor une !tthinG buried treasure. An who knows? ] IL unknown person might now have in his possession a great, heaping pot of gold.
 According to reports from the Paroquet section there has been for many years ru- mors of buried treasure on the Scripp land, just north of Paroquet. No one knew where these rumors originat- ed, or how many times they had been handed down from person to person, and no one apparently cared, as no sig nificance was attached to a tale of buried treasure right at the door of the people of that community.
 1}Ut evideri:z some person took a fancy to the story and believed in it sufficiently to put out a little manual labor in an effort to locate the spells.
 According to the rumor, this treasl re was supposed to have been hidden some time about the outbreak of the civil war, and whether It consisted of geld or other valuables no- body seemed to have heard quite for certain. The loot WIS supposed to have beon hidden in the woods, and ac- cording to tradition surround ing the story a turtle was carved on a tree and the val uables hidden in the immedi- ate vicinity of this tree.
 Last Saturday persons in the Paroquet neighborhooG discovered that quite a bit of excavating had been done on the spot mentioned and close examination revealed that number of trees had been cut GoY9n and hole about four- teen feet square and probably 10 or 12 feet deep had been dug, the searchers digging up a number of stumps. That they were rewarded with something is evident from the fact that numrous pieces of pottery and some large earth enWare vessels were left OH the scene, some of these being broken into several pieces. The only clue left by the searcher was footprints, and parties who visited the scene are of the belief that there were two in number.
 Who knows whether we have buried treasure in our own backwards or not? Did you ever hear anyone relate abe 1t valuables being buried some place? The unknown parties who believed in this story about the buried treas ure in the Paroquet neighbor- hood and struck their pick at- cordingly might have been re- warded with great gobs Of
