Little Rock, Oct. 25.-The Little Rock and Memphis Railroad was sold at 12 ID. today to representa- i've of the bondho ders' committee for $325, 900.
 By 11:30 o'clock the people began to assemble on the platform at the Federal building, although the cold wind chilled them and made them tnrn their coat collars up for com fort. By the hour for sale there were about hundred citizens as- sembled on the platform, repre- sep tatiye business men, all of whom were intensely interested in the out come of the sale, knowing that it meant the beginning of a new era for Little Rock and Arkansas.
 The property was bid in by Mir. A. H. Larkln, a young attorney of New York. who represented the bond holders. The price paid was the minimum fixed by the order of court.
