FINED FOR THEIR FUN.

James Wallace, a farmer living west of this city across the White river, imbibed too freely of the intox- icating glass Saturday afternoon and became so boisterous upon the streets that the officers were called upon to take notice.
 Failing to induce him to leave town, Marshal Stephens placed him under arrest. His resistance, in which he was aided by Si Biggers, created quite a scene, seven or eight men. being re- quired to land him behind the bars of the city jail.
 On Monday morning, the two were arraigned before Recorder Phillips, acting mayor in the absence of J. w. Grubbs, both pleading guilty to the charge of drunkenness. Wallace was fined $20 and costs, upon payment of which by third party he was releas- ed. Biggers was fined $5 and costs and remanded to jail upon not being able to pay same.

CHILD FOUND SLEEPING.

The search for the 5year- old son of Thomas Bridges, lost from the wagon near Nuckoll's Switch Friday evening, was ended Sunday afternoon in the finding of the little boy sleeping peacefully upon the ground not more than 300 yards from the point where his disappearance was discovered.
 The inhabitants of that section had secured the woods and underbrush in an endeavor to locate or find trace of the missing lad and were on the verge of giving up all hopea when success crowned their efforts.
 The child did not appear sick from the exhaustion resultant from having gone without food for two whole days and the hardship of spending a night out in a downpour of rain, and when found was apparently sleeping con- tentedly under the open sky, ignorant of the efforts of others and the dis tress occasioned the family.

PARTY AT GAMBLE.

A small party of young ladies and gentlemen spent the day at Gamble Lake Saturday, leaving this city early in the morning in an omnibus, decorated in national colors.
 The party were dressed in the most approved of picnic apparel, prepared to enjoy the day regardless of cos tune. Mesdames T. J. Watson and T. E. Morrison were the chaperones and big baskets with tastily prepared lunches formed conspicuous part of the baggage equipment.
 The party included Misses Kathe- rine, Mamie and Roberta Morrison and Bessie Watson, Messrs. Mitchell Gregg, Jas. Jones and Jno. Stayton, the last named joining the party at noon.

THE ORLANDO SUNK.
Struck Log Twenty Six Miles Above De Valls Bluff. A Total Loss,
 But No Lives Lost.

The steamboat Orlando, the pride of this port, belonging to the Memphis and White River Packet Company, struck log Friday afternoon twenty six miles above De Valls Bluff be- tween Devils Hill and Peach Orchard, going down in seven minutes after the collision.
 The Orlando, on account of the low water, could not reach this port last week and turned back on her course at Bradford. The accident occurred between and o'clock in the after noon, and it was thought at first that the engineer had gone down with the boat, but this alarm proved ground less.
 No passengers were aboard and though the freight loss was total, not a single employe of the boat was in jured. The stern sank in eight feet of water while the bow rests tilted in the air. After sinking, the current twisted the boat around, making the
  aperture larger and badly breaking the hull.
 Capt. Jno. Warner met Clerk John Haley of the Orlando at Clarendon and was told by the latter, that the boat would be 8 total loss. It is in sured for $6,5OO with the Louisville Underwriters and is valued at $sOOO to $10,OO0.
 Capt. w. J. Ashford is the principal stockholder of the Memphis and White River Packet Company and the loss will fall chiefly upon him.
 The company had intenned placing another boat in service in the Fall and it not is not known how the loss of the Orlando will affect their plans. A larger boat with lighter draft will probably soon see service plying the White between Newport and the Mississippi.

DEATH BY DROWNING.

Ed Shifiit, young man living near Paroquet, was drowned Saturday ev- ening in Black River, just above the bridge, while swimlping with party of seven or eight.
 With several others he swam out from the bar into the current of the stream, allowing it to carry him down, intending when below a short distance to strike for the bank. Misjudging his ability, he ventured down too far, and, becoming exhausted before he reached the bank, cried to his com panions for help.
 Two of them swan to his rescue, but worn out themselves they could not save him, and barely reached the bank themselves. The body of Shifiit was found and taken to his home, from which place he was buried Monday morning..

RAIN RATHER GENERAL.

TThe rains of Friday afternoon were distinctly local in character, confined chiefly to points north of here; but on Friday night general rain visited most sections of this county, and, in fact, nearly the whole of Northeast Arkansas.
 The rain extended as far south as Little Rock and north to Williamsville, Mo-, above Poplar Bluff. However, the rainfall was heaviest between this town and Swifton, being very light between Hoxie and Knoble.
 Those parts of Jackson County east, west and north of here enjoyed good rains, but south only few miles the rain was very light, failing to settle the dust in many localities.

FELL FROM THE PUMP.

John Elliott, single man about 35 years of age, who has been bumper for the Iron Mountain at this station for the past two years, fell from the pump platform to the level of the river, distance of IS feet, Monday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock, seriously bruising one hip and perhaps suffering internal injuries in the stomach and groin.
 Dr. L. E. Willis, the road surgeon, was summoned, the crippled man bringing help to his assistance by his cries from the well. He was carried to his boarding house on Walnut street and later taken to the train upon a cot to be conveyed to the St. Louis hos pital.
 He had descended the well from the elevator about seven feet to fix the pump, and forgetting that platform had been removed from it's customary place, made a misstep which caused the fall.

LOST FROM THE WAGON.
Five Old Son of Thomas Bridges Lost Friday Afternoon-Search- Party Finds No Trace of
 Child.

The five-year-o son of Thomas Bridges, farmer living near Coffey- vile, was lost about eight miles from here near Nuckoll's Switch Friday afternoon, and though a searching party of over fifty men has been ran sacking the surrounding country hop ing to find the lost child, no trace of him had been discovered at 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
 The little boy is very deaf, and it was for treatment to restore this lost sense, that his father was bringing him to Newport. They left home in farm wagon, the father and another man occupying the seat, while the boy and another brother were seated in the bed.
 It was not until Nuckoll's Switch was reached that the father noticed one of the little fellows was gone. He turned back, but failed to find any trace of the boy. The whole country was alarmed and turned out en masse to
  help the grief stricken parent hunt the child, for much of that section of country is covered with thick under brush.
 The rain during the night was very heavy, sufficiently so to have drowned the boy should he have fallen or lain down; but all through the night the search was maintained.
 Morning came without his being found, and the scouting parties were still at work Saturday morning accord ing to latest report. The fact that the lost boy is deaf and but five years of age, makes the hunt for him in the thicketswhich cover that section seem almost hopeless.

RESIDENCE RUINED.
Richardson Home Suffers Serious Damage From Fire Satur-
 day Morning.

On Saturday morning at o'clock as MT. Arthur Richardson came from his home on corner of Third and Main streets, starting down town, he noticed small spiral of smoke issue from the roof of the rear part of the house.
 He called to his son George to run into the garrett and see what was afire. As soon as the door into this apartment was opened, the whole roof of the rear addition was in a blaze and the alarm at once turned in.
 The fire company responded promptly, but no effective work could be done owing to the lack of water pressure. The fire which had extend ed to the second floor of the front part of the house was soon extin- guished in this quarter, the firemen carrying hose up the front stairway and soon had the flames confined to the roof, which was luckily soaked with water from the rain of the pre- vious night.
 Had it not been for the rain, the residence would have been a total loss. AS it is, the damage is estimat- ed by the owner, Sigmund Wolff, at $10OO, which is fully covered by $2,5OO insurance.
 Mir. Richardson values the residence furniture and furnishings at $500, the piano and other furniture of the lower floor being saved. His loss is covered by insurance.
 Mrs. Richardson was in Little Rock at the time of the fire, which is sup fective chimney, running up from the kitchen f1ue.
