Mrs. R. Fl. ThaW Seriously Injured at Hot Springs by Vehicle Which was Beck lessly Driven.
EFFORT TO ESCAPE
Driver Was Caught After An Ex. citing Chase, in Which Two Officers Took Part There Was Some Talk of Lynching.

Hot Springs, March 6-Mrs. R. H.

As result of the injury, Mrs. Thaw was taken to a hospital and tonight is in an extreme ly serious condition.
 Mrs. Thaw was crossing the street at the time of the accident, which was witnessed by large number of peo- pie. The street was crowded with vehicles and there were numerous pedestrians on the sidewalks. Pas- sers-by noticed the manner in which the man was driving and yelled to him and at the same time also at- tempted to attract the attention of the woman. After running down Mrs. Thaw, Snyder did not attempt to stop his horses, but whipped them up, iii an effort to make his escape. He was pursued in buggy by Deputy Sheriff Reed. During the case one of the wheels of the officers buggy became caught in a frog of the street car track and the sudden jolt threw Reed from the buggy and caused him to sustain number of serious bruises. The pursuit was then taken up by Deputy Constable Finn, who overhaul ed Snyder, after hot pursuit of more than mile. When arrested, Snyder offered no resistance. He has been placed in the county jail, awaiting the result of Mrs. Thaw's injuries.
 After the occurrence, there was great excitement among the peopA who had witnessed it. 1f.S believed that the accident could have been ayerted by. Snyder, and his attempt to escape incensed them considerably more: /. There was much talk of a .'lynchi!ng, but there has beea no .aove in that direction. '

 "As to the practicabiity of these acquisitions, I am not able to pass judgment without knowing the mind and plan of work of our new city council. I believe that both these parks are absolutely needed for the preservation of the health of the people of Pine Bluff and I have faith enough in the wisdom and energy of our citizens to believe that ways and means could be de- vised to acquire them.''

 FOR POST CARDS Of the Fancy or Souvenir Variety-Order Issued By Postmaster General Pre-
 vents Mailing Them.
SOME ARE POISONOUS
Will Be Sent to the Dead Letter OF. lice Unless Placed in Envelopes Some Chased as Merchandise-But Few Days Grace.

Pine Bluff post card senders. souvenirs and otherwise, will be in- terested to know that an order has been issued by the postmaster gen. eral providing new regulations gov- erning the size, form and weight of private post cards entering the mails. Such post cards must be made of an unfolded piece of card board and not exceeding three and nine-sixteenths by five and nine-six. teenths inches, nor less than two and three-fourths by fo1r inches. They must in form and in quality and weight of paper be substantial ly like the government post cards.
 They may be of any color not interfering with legible address and postmark. Very thin sheets ol paper may be attached to them on condition that they completely ad- here to the card. Cards bearing particles of glass, metal, mica, sand, tinfoil or other similar sub- stances will not be accepted for mailing except when inclosed in en- , , velopes.
 But few days of grace, then the Pine Bluffian who attempts to send his back-state friends an elab- crate picture of the water front with the outlines in glistening tin- sel will have to suffer the humilia- tion of having the elaborate souve- mir of the city sent to the dead letter office stamped ''Unmailable." At first notice concerning the souvenir post cards was received by the Pine Bluff postoffice authori- ties some time ago. Their memory
 is logged again by the daily bulle-
 tin of March 4, received here We'd
 nesday. The bulletin calls atten-
 tion to the regulation, newly made,
 which absolutely forbids the mailing of cards ornamented with glass, tin l sel, sand or other like material, un- less enclosed in an envelope. . The cause for the ruling comes
 from the objection made by the I postal clerks to handling these cards. TheX say the glistening ma terial scratches their fingers, and that in many cases it is poisonous.
 Pine Bluff postal employees approve of the ruling.
 "On days when there has been a rush of these cards. the post-mark- ing machine has been covered with
 handfuls of this tinsel and mica," says an attache of the Pine Bluff l postoffce. we will allow the peo- 1 pei few days to learn of the new regulation, then all such postals will be sent to the dead letter of- ice."
 Another regulation regarding post cards is that no message shall be written on those not made of 1 cardboard. The leather and wood affairs are not classed technically as post cards, but are sent as mer- nh ndico
