| A case of forgery, which resembles
in detail that of the Sioux City forgery
case that was reported in the IRIS,
dispatches few days ago, came to
light after the close of banking hours
FRIDAY, when the Marshalltown State
Bank reported two bogus checks, for
4 $12 each, drawn on A. E. Shorthill &
Co, had-been presented for payment.
The checks were drawn in favor Of
one Daniel Moran" but the work was
a crude bit of forgery and easily dis
cernable at the bank, even had Short

4 1T happens, however, the firm banks at

drawn on the Marshalltown State.

There Is only one clue 80 far that

be nothing done in an official way to

PINE BLUFF AND WESTERN TO
 GO WESTWARD.
Will Probably Join the Hot Springs and Western Road at Bauxite-
 A Coming Terminus.

Since the Sawyer & Austin Lum- Der Company moved it's plant to this city from La Crosse, Wis, and later constructed line of thirteen miles or more of railroad Westward from this city to Doyletown, there has been much speculation as to the real intention of the company, or the Pine Bluff & Western Railroad Company as it is know in railroad circles.
 The Pine Bluff & Western railroad runs into a county-Grant-in which there are no railroads and which is yet to be largely developed. There is no doubting the fact that a rail road would be a paying enterprise in that section and it is stated on good authority that the Pine Bluff S5 West ern will soon begin work extending it's line westward to as far as Sheri- dan and Benton, thereby giving Pine Bluff direct connections with Hot Springs and other points in the west ern part of Arkansas. At present it is difficult matter to reach Benton from this city, while the proposed line would greatly reduce the time and lessen the distance to that place and Hot Springs, and thereby give us the benefit of competing freight rates.
 The following special, which was recently sent out from BauXite, Ark, partially confirms the rumor that the railroad company is figuring on an early extension of it's line:
 "The trip over the proposed rail- road line between this place and the western terminus of the Pine Bluff & Western railroad by General Sup erintendent H. G. FIemming and Vice-President John G. Longsdale of the Little Rock and Hot Springs Western railroad, has caused a great deal of interest in this section. 1t makes of Bauxite an important june tlon as we'll as the center of the , bauXite mining region"

OVER A MULE
SOME EXCITEMENT WAS RAISED
 SATURDAY NIGHT.
Fled When he Recognized His PurSuer.

Saturday night no little excitement was caused by several persons who were chasing a young negro through an alley and yelling to others to stop him, halt, etc. The negro was cap tured in the alley in the real, of the Graphic office
 Saturday evening at an early hour some unknown party stole a mule be- longing to MT. Cal Davis, from a hitching post near Wiley Jones' Park Jack Shannon, step-son of Davis went out to hunt for the animal. He came up town and near an alley on Main between Barraque and Second streets saw young negro on the mule which had been stolen. It seems that the negro saw Shannon at the same time. He fell off the animal and ran as fast as his feet could car ry him, going westward into the al. ley. Shannon mounted the mule and pursued the negro, calling to others to join in the chase. He kept aftcr him for three blocks, when tEe race was suddenly checked by MT. Jim Wilmington, who heard Shannon yelling stop him. and he eornercd the negro just as the youngster on tered the alley in the rear of the Graphic office.
 The negro turned out to be Aar n Graham, whose brother is now serv- ing a term in the State penitentiary the latter having attempted crimin- i al assault on d prominent lady of this city few years ago. Graham was locked up to await trial

THE FRANCHISE. BLUFF CITY LUMBER COMPANY WILL HAVE COMPETITORS Several Applicants to Appear For Electric Street Railway and
 Light Plant.
THE FRANCHISE

There is going to be a hot time ill the Council Monday night, sure. The Bluff City Lumber Company will pre- sent q resolution asking the Council. men for the franchise recently for- feited by Kcyser, the Chicago promo- ter, for an electric street railway and light plant to be constructed, erected, operated and maintained in this city.
 Capt. ] B. York, than whom there is no better business man in tho State, and who is at the head of the Bluff City Lumber Company, has re- turned from trip to St. Louis. where he went to investigate the electric street railway and light plant matter and ascertain their cost, He also transacted other business in regard to the same enterprises. Capt York says the Bluff City Lumber Company has fully decided to build, maintain and operate the plants without any assistance from the city or our eitiz- ems, if given the franchise granted Keyser some time ago and which the latter failed to make good
 MT. J. F. Rutherford at recent meeting of the Council stated that the Bluff City Lumber Company was ready and willing to build the street railway and light plant providing the same franchise be granted them as vas granted Keyser.
 The Graphic has been informed that there will be at least two other applications made for the franchise at the Monday night session of the Council. Each of these we are told will be made by home eapit. alists. There may be several ont-of. town applicants fer the franchise, but they have not as yet announced themselves as being in tho contest They or their representatives will be on hand at the meeting
 Six of the city's aldermen at re. cent special meeting of the council promised t0 grant the Bluff City Lum- Der Company the franchise and the Lumber Company in turn promised to conform to any and all reasonable requests made by the council

H < STILL LIVES.
JOHN HAMILTON HAS BUT FEW
 CHANGES OF RECOVERING.
Will Levy Will be Laid up for Some Time-Arrested and Gave
 Bond.

MT Will Levy, who shot and fatal ly wounded John Hamilton, a horse trader, at Cornerstone. this county, last Thursday evening, while the lat ter was stabbing him with q knife, is doing nicely. He is still confined to the home of his brother, Capt. Leon Levy, on West Baraque street and Will not be able to leave his bed for several days. MT. Levy's jaw was cut open to such an extent that you could see his teeth through the open ing. He was stabbed in other places on his face head and hands.
 A warrant was issued in Vance's court Saturday for MT Levy charging him with murder pending tue death of Hamilton, and his bond gas fixed at $l,o0o. Messrs. James Gould and D. l.. Franklin signed the bond
 Word was received in piaa Rlar early Saturday evening from Corner stone to the effect tha- Ha7ailtyq shows very little Improvement lis chances for recovery are very slip.
 It is stated that ii2mil.on put up q wonderful fight after he was shot. lie kept stabbing Mr. Ley and would have probably fatally woondcd the latter had not aa eye witness not interfefcd. MT. Levy fired five shots during the fight but vas too weak to fire the sixth owing to loss of blood The ball that took effect went through Hamilton's lung.
 Both of the mon have many frienl5 and the affair is to be deeply regret ted by them. A prominent pl;.ntar of that section who saw the fight says Lcyey could not avoid shooting Hamilton
