The efficiency and the operation «:
the Cherokee County Jail at Husk
was the subject of an article appeat-
,ing in the Alay issue of The Sherif! s

published by the Sheriff's Associa-
tion of Texas "in the interest of aii ]
Texas law enforcement."
The writer of the article describing
the sheriff's department said "the
sheriff's department of Cherokee
County, of which Sheriff Frank Brunt
is the head, might well be used as a
mode] for some other counties. The
writer went on to say that "in man-
ner of operation, efficiency and in re-
sults obtained, the Cherokee Depart-
ment ranks with the best."

One negro was killed instantly and
one was seriously injured Saturday
afternoon about 3:30 o'clock when
the bob-tail truck in which they
were riding over-turned on an un-
improved road between the Franks-
ton and Bullard roads about ten
miles from Jacksonville.
Hubert Blanton, driver of the
truck, was fatally crushed about the
head when the load of gum blocks
on the truck rolled over the cab. The
passenger. Jesse Johnson, remains in
Newburn Sanitarium in a serious
condition. Both are from Cunev.
According to S. H. Sanderson,
justice of the Peace of Precinct 6.
who made the investigation, the ra-
dius rod of the truck apparently
broke, causing the truck to leave
the road, plowing through the soft
shoulder and onto the adjoining
right-of-way where it overturned.
The cab was smashed almost flat by
the impact and by the blocks rolling
over it.
Justice Sanderson said he under-
stood a negro was riding on the back
of the truck when the accident oc-
curred. It was said he jumped clear
and was uninjured. However. Justice
Sanderson was unable to supply his
name.—Jacksonville Progress.

230 pounds of 16-20-0 and grew a
corn crop. This year he disked, har-
rowed. and rolled the land with a
cultipacker and seeded the Hubar^

the clover for hay within the next
week. The second growth v,il! be
