CHARGED WITH ENTERTAINMENT.
VI. Nj Cunningham. One of the Ex- # e ceivers of the Pine lsluff Water
 Works, io Trouble.

Mr. N. M. Cunningham, well know to our people, and who for a time was a co-receiver of the Pine Bluff Water works, is now involved in difficulty with the law. The Grand Jury has found a true bill against him charging him with em- bezzlement. A warrant for the ar- rest of MT. Cunningham was served this morning, and the gentleman at once gave bond in the sum of $500 for his appearance at trial before the Jefferson Circuit Court. The true bill charges MT. Cunning ham with embedding about $27 from the Brown Electric and Manlfactur- ing Co.,, of Little Rock, for which he was at one time the local agent.
 MT. Cunningham stands well be- fore the business world of Pine Bluff, and his friends are 10th to believe that he is a criminal, and are sure that at the coming trial he will be able to vindicate himself and his fair name.

Bancroft. the Magician.

Magician Bancroft's unique enter tainment which will be seen here at the Opera House on Thursday even- ing, November 19, is the most elabor- ate. spectacular production from 8 scenic standpoint ever seen by the public. It presents the maryels of magic with the gorgeous accessories of q grand spectacular entertain ment. In this remarkable produce ton theater-goers will see in rapid succession an endless chain of illusions, mysteries, and slight of hand feats different from any ever seen before, as each are new and novel. The beauty of the costly scenery of four complete sets renders the entertain ment as whole a veritable visit to fairyland. For this reason Ban croft's entertainments are always largely attended by ladies and chil- dren, as well as the scientific, who constantly find something new to study in his performances.
