By State Superintendent And

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Nov. 16.—The

year contract. There is a uni
formity board of five • members

the county judge, and two by the

Find Negro Baby In Cave.
While three lads of this city,
Jamie Case, Heime Diaz and
Chubbie McGill with Mr. W.^L.
Seggers of Osceola, were walking
out on Butler Hill Tuesday af
ternoon they came across the
cave on the side of the hill and
started to take a look at the in
terior when they discovered a
suit case which they opened and
found therein the lifeless body
of a negro baby.
Leaving their gruesome find
in charge of some of the pa ty
another hastened to town and
notified the officers, who went
immediately to the scene and
brought the body to the court
house, where Coroner Flinn sum
moned a jury and held an in
quest last night. It developed
that it was the child of Monk
Harris a worthless young negro
who has figured conspicuously in
the local courts for the past
few years. Harris’ wife gave
birth to the child last Friday
and it died immediately after.
Harris placed the body in the
old suit case and told his wife
and some neighbors that he was
going to take it out in tne coun
try to his uncle’s and bury it,
and it was supposed that he had
done so until the discovery was
made yesterday that he had hid
it in the cave on Butler Hill.
The coroner’s jury recom
mended that the negro be held,
but it seems that there is no
law to cover such wanton inhu
manity as was exhibited by Har
ris. The mother of the child
died Monday night and was bur
ied in Oaklawn cemetery.
The total depravity and reck
less criminality of the negro
Monk Harris, was manifested
last night before the coroner’s
jury when he stated that he did
not consider it anything wrong
to dispose of the body of his
child as he did.
The colored population of the
city are highly incensed over
the matter and serious threats
have been made against Harris.
