Harrison County People Will Pay this Sum for the Arrest of Party Who Killed Mrs. J.E. Shirley.

While more than two weeks have passed since the murder of Mrs. Jasper E. Shirley, south of Mt. Moriah and no one has been arrested for the dreadful crime, the people of that vicinity and Harrison county are yet hopeful that the guilty party will be found. No clues have developed during the past week, and the affair is yet a deep mystery.

One thousand dollars have been offered for the apprehension and arrest of the guilty party or parties. The Harrison county court, last week, made a standing offer of $400. Another reward of $400 has been offered by the people of the neighborhood where the Shirleys reside. There is an additional $200 offered by parties in different parts of the county, making the total sum of one thousand dollars which will be given to any person who knows or can find out facts that will locate the guilty person.

A grand jury has been called for circuit court which convenes in Bethany, Monday, and they will be instructed to make inquiries into and ferrit out, if possible, the person who murdered Mrs. Shirley.
