Balloon Ascension

After having been baked twice in his attempts to make a balloon as- tension, once by. the opposition of local clergymen. and the other time by unfavorable weather, Aeronaut Burt" Swan finally found conditions favorable, and made a successful ascension Wednesday evening at For est park. Only moderate-siZed crowd was present to see the ascen- sion. and on account of an insnffi. cient supply of gas in the big bag, MT Swan only went about 300 feet. The knife on the parachute failed to work. and he came down with the balloon, landing safely.
 Another ascension will take. place at the park Saturday afternoon if the weather conditions are favorable. Mir. Swan is sure that the hard luck that has pursued him since he struck Pine Bluff cannot last. and it is probable that the ascension Saturday will be successful

Cleaning Up
 The Rubbish

Notices are being served by Fire Chief Shultz on all merchants and property-owners in the business dis trict that the alleys and areaways in the rear of their buildings must be kept free from papers, rubbish and ether infiammable materials which are likely to be set on fire by a cigar stub or lighted match The chief realizes that disastrous conf1agra- tion might result at any time from the setting on fire of one of these p..es, and realizing that an ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure, he has determined to rid the city of this danger as far as possible.
 Most of those upon whom notices have been served have signified their willingness to cooperate with the de- partment in this matter, and assist in protecting the city It is not the desire of the chief to have any trou- ble in the matter, but he intends to see that he orders are obeyed to the letter, and if any one of those who have received notices do not carry them out they will be brought before the police judge and the cases look ed into.

MAY BRING SUIT TROUBLE SEEMS TO BE BREW. ING BETWEEN SCHOOL
 BOARD AND MR. BELL. Latter Claims Contract Was Made With Him for Disposal of School
 Bonds-Board Denies.

Trouble seems to be brewing be. tween the Pine Bluff school board and Hon. D. C. Bell. It is only le- gal entanglement, however, and will not result seriously to anyone inter- ested.
 Some months ago the Pine Bluff school district advertised for bids for the purchase Of bonds 10 the amount Of S6o.Go0, the proceeds to be used in the erection of a new and modern school building. to be erected On the ste lately purchased on Main street, ,,!st east of the present high school Guiding. The Pine Bluff Trust com Dany, through it's secretary-treasurer. D. C. Bell, bid loo l-4 fer the entire isS1e, which was the best bid made, and it is claimed by Mr Bell that he WAS appointed by the board as it's ticsal agent for the sale of the bonds at this price. This claim, however, is disputed by some members of the board. who contend that the guaran- tee required cash deposit of 5000 did not accompany the bid of the in- stitution represented by Mir. Bell, and that the board never took any official action appointing him as it's fiscal or any other kind of agent.
 About twelve days ago Mr. Bell left for St. Louis and Chicago. presum- ably to place the bonds in one or the other of those cities, in connection With another large bond deal that he has on hand Tn the meantime the school board has re-advertised for bids on the bonds, on a 20-year 5-per cent basis. and these bids are to be opened April 26 This action of the school board made it impossible for Mir. Bell to place the bonds at 100 1-a or any other figure, as it was a vir- tual repudiation of his bid and there fore of his authority to act for the board.
 MT. Bell returned Sunday from Chi cago and St. Louis, and expresses himself as surprised and indignant at the treatment he received from the school board and speaks of bringing shit to enforce what he considers valid contract.

 In addition to these two officers, Mayor White and Police Judge Ton- ey are planning to attend the con- vention.
