POLICE ARE AFTER HIM,

Dr. l.. B. Rasehbaum, the famous oculist and aurist,' who for several months had an office and few pa irons in this city, has been heard from again. He will be remembered as the man who tried to lick the city editor of the Graphic, who wildly shot at Billey Bidell, who killed a crap game in the city of several hun- dred dollars and who appeared in many other roles in social, business and police circles here. He will be also remembered as the ehampion of the characterization club of this city, which lived and died a natural death within a few days. The object of this club was to fight the city off cials, who had published proclama- tion making vaccination compulso- ry during the smallpox scare. The club was partly successful.
 RaHchbaum's latest appearance is in the role of kidnapper and e1pper. He is travelling through this state but so far. has not been located.
 After his several interesting and exciting escapades in this city, Rasebbaum' few friends cast him aside and he sold his little office fix lures and departed on north south-east-west train. and the pnb- lie thought he would never appear here again. He didn't, but soon afterwards made an appearance at Stuttgart, progressive Arkansas county town, thirty miles above Pine Bluff on the Cotton Belt road. He appeared not as Dr. Raschhaum. . but as "Dr. F. K. ". Ramp. an oc- ulist, aurlst and surgeon of many, many years experience. He posted bills all all over the town announce ing his intention of remaining in that town only a few days, giving his permanent residence as Boston and stating that he would receive the afflicted at the Stuttgart hotel.
 On his posters was Iife-siZe cut of Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, whose face is familiarly known to readers and who, in appearance fa- vors the "Boston Oculist and Au- rist" very much. The people of Stuttgart could not pass the poster without reading it,as it looked to be an advertisement for the Wild Man Of Borneoo show.
 It's true, he was there only a few days. for when the Pine Bluff officers learned of his whereabouts, they prepared to serve q couple ofgaming warrants on him, but he "took a sneak" The last heard of him, he was in Texarkana awaiting his brother, travelling man. who was going to stake him for office fixtures and get him to settle there. That was the last Pine Bluffian heard or saw of him until recently. on which occasion the following notice to- gether with comments. which we withhold, appeared in Fort Smith paper.
