To the Hon. G. R. Haynie,
Judge of the Eighth Judicial
District of Arkansas:
The Grand Jury empaneled
by your Honor for the present
term Of this Court beg leave to
submit this, their report, as a
summary Of the investigations
made by this body, to-wit:
We have examined all cripl-
inal cases brought to our notice
by transcript from J. P. Courts
and the oral testimony OF wit
nesses before our body an In
our Investigations we have eX-
amined 116 witnesses. These eX-
aminations have resulted in our

We never examined the offices
of the county as our time is
limited and that is a matter to
he left up to the Commissioners
OF Accounts.
We visited the Jail in a body
and find the same to be we'll
kept and in a sanitary condi-
tion and all prisoners well
cared for. A committee from
oarsbody visited the city jar
in Hope and report the same
to be we'll kept and in good con-
dition, not a prisoner in same.
There are two paupers be-
ing cared for by the county and
were found to be in a deplora-
BE condition and not well cared
for nor looked after. This jury
recommends that the county
court see that suitable quar-
ters be provided for them and
that they be better Card for.
and that this be attended to at
CnC2.
We desire to tender our
thanks to our WORTH and eff
cient Prosecuting Attorney l..
F. Monroe, for his kind and
courteous treatment and to the
other officers of the Court we
wish to tender and express our
thanks for services rendered.
And now having disposed of
all our business we respectful
ly ask that this report be re-
ceived and this jury discharged.

STOCK Law CASE IS
BEFORE SUPREME COURT

The stock law case for Hemp
stead and Nevada counties was
submitted to the Supreme court
Monday and the date for hear
ing was set for May 9th. The
restraining order, secured by
certain citizens of a few of the
townships of the county, who
appeared before the Chancery
court, was continued by the Su-
preme court until May 9th.
The townships which are par
ties TO this suit are: czan, Wa
ter Creek, Bois dare and
Spring Hill. In these town
ships the law is not now in
force, but in all other townships
of the county the law is now in
full force and effect.
The suit is an attack on the
validity of the stock law as
passed and Chancellor Shaver
declared the act valid at a hear
ing at the March term OF
Chancery court. Appeal was
then taken from this court.

Tex. Indians first reported it. Then
Spanish missionaries and soldiers,
working their way northward from the
outpost of San Antonio, heard of the
honey mine 1t was said to be high
up on hill and inaccessible, except
by hanging over a cliff.
In later years, after the Indians and
Spanish were gone, efforts were made
to enter this cave, and one adventur-
er Is said to have been stung to death.
The most promising clew in the pos
session of ReeS, who is making his
headquarters in Fort Worth during his
quest Is from San Saba county. There
a honey cave exists, and Is high up on

however, will not venture an opinion
as to the amount Of honey stored
away In the cavern recesses or as to
the age of the cave. But they say
positively no one has ever been able
10 reach the honey.
At one time young men living near
the mine" organized to get the honey.
The leader, armed with blast of ex-
plosive, was lowered over the face of
the cliff and down to the cave en-
trance. But the blast exploded pre-
maturely and the man barely escaped
with his life.
Rees estimates that the honey, if it
exists in the rumored amount and can
be distilled. would be worth approx
mately S1,OOOOOOOOO.
