Funeral services were held Tues day afternoon at two o'clock at Cqn cord Baptist church for Carl Hensley, 23 year old farmer, who was found Monday morning in a dying condi tion in the Pea Ridge community. The funeral was largely attended, several hundred people gathering to pay their last tribute of respect to the young man. Hensley was found lying in an un conscious condition in the middle of a little used woods road Monday morning about eleven o'clock. Hens ley was found by a colored man whj rushed him to a nearby farm house, and summoned a Mr. Harin. Seeing that the man was still alive, he bath ed his face with some water which he secured from a nearby creek in his hat, while bathing his face Mr. Hensley died. Coroner W. C. Hightower was notified and he removed the body to his undertaking establishment at Henrietta, where an inquest was held Monday night. An autopsy was per formed and it was found that he had suffered a blow on the side of his head. The coroner's verdict was that Mr. Hensley came to his death by the hands of persons unknown. Mr. Hensley, who was 23 years of age, was single. He is survived by his mother and two brothers. His mother stated to the coroner Mon day that he left home Sunday say ing that he was going to a neigh bors to see if the ground was suit able for plowing and that from there, he was going to another neighbors to set up with a dead baby. He neyi| er reached the latter place. or whatever caused his death taking place between these two homes. As the road in which he was found is very little traveled he could have been lying there all night. Hensley was lound in a side road about, three miles from Bostic in the Pea Ridge community. Monday af ternoon Sheriff J. E. McFarland and deputies raided a still within a hun dred yards of the spot where the body was found. The still was a seventy-five gallon capacity, copper still. One thousand gallons of beer, five gallons of whiskey and some wine was destroyed, and one man, Privette Hardin was arrested. One man escaped, but it is thought his identity was established before he escaped. Officers, it is understood, are working on the that Hensley was probably ambushed by someone interested in the moonshining ac tivities, and were afraid that Hen sley would tell officers of their ac tivities. As The Courier goes to press no arrests have been made in connec tion with the death of Hensley, how ever, it is understood that from the sheriff's department are at work on some clues that may result soon in arrests.
