PECULIAR DATE
Saturday Was Memorable One
 For Figures.

There were several peculiar hap penings besides the unjust decision Tn the Dreyfus case Saturday. Among them was the peculiarity of the date and the manner in which many were compelled to %lite it. "9-9-99.
 Those who wrote letters or dated documents of any kind Saturday asked themselves how long it will be before similar collection of nun. bers occurs. Dlligent figures on the part of experts led to the gsner- al conclusion that there will be but one opportunity to use such 8 com bination during the coming century, and that will be Candlemas Date, 1922, when the date may be written 2-2-22.

KING CONNER TELLS IT AND IT IS FACTS, NO
 CON" GAME
THOUGHT TO BE DEAD.
Relatives Collected a $5,ooo Life Insurance Poliey-The
 Funeral Procession.

The most peculiar happening in the history of Jefferson county has just recently been brought to light by King Conner, who is now in Pine Bluff mingling with his old friends.
 Fifteen years ago King Conner was a telegraph operator in this city, having worked for the Western Union Telegraph Company here as messenger, and finally worked him. self up to chief operator. He is a grandson of the Late Hugh King, one of the most favorably known of Pine Bluffs earliest settlers.
 Conner was a victim of consump. tion and one day he suddenly disap- peared and nothing was ever heard of him. At the time of his disap- pearanee Conner was about 23 years of age. He was the possessor Of much valuable real estate and car ried a $5, 900 life insurance policy ID the Mutual Life of New York. He never corresponded with any of his Pine Bluff relatives and several years afterwards, and owing to his having consumption, he was thought to be dead by them.
 To verify the thoughts of his rela- tives, telegram came to them one day and announced the death of Conner, which had occurred in Tex as. The relatives ordered the body shipped here for burial and the re- mains of tLe would be King Conner, now lie in Bellwood Cemetery, hay- ing been buried with imposing cere- monies ana were followed to their last resting place by concourse of friends and number of mourning and sorely bereaved relatives.
 Now Conner is inclined to give them the "horse laugh" He says the man that was buried here was named Cook, and that he knew him well.
 After the funeral was had the rel atives obtained the 5000 on his life and divided it among them selves. They were Mrs. Paralee King, of San Antonio, Tex and MT. John P. King, a well-to-do cotton manufacturer of Augusta, Ga. These people also became heirs to vast amount of valuable real estate, most of which was situated oL East, Third avenue in this city.
 After Conner's return here he found that the property had been sold to Mrs. Ada Jones, whom he says be knew before he left Pine Bluff. When Connor called to see. Mrs. Jones Saturday she failed to recognize him, atd added, when he told her he was King Conner, that she had attended King Corners funeral fifteen years ago. Conner is arranging to thorough ly establish his ident tity and will at. tempt to recover his lost posses slons by law, Many of his school boy friends and some of the oldest citizens recognize him.
 Since be left Pine Bluff fifteen years ago, he has had many thrill ing and interesting experiences. He made tour of Mexico and the United States, spent several years in Europe and ended his extensive travelling by lolning the army dur ing the last war. He served as telegraph operator in the signal corps.
 He tells of many interesting hap penings and his turning up" here has caused quite a stir among prop erty owners, many of whom are purchasers of the Connor estate.
 The suit, if filed will be watched with interest and the delopments will be awaited with much antici~ patton.
