 Dear Sir: As manager of the "Clar- endon Crescents. and on behalf of the team and the boys individually l wish to express to you the deep sense of ap- preciation that We feel for the big hearted hospitality and lavish expendi- ture of good nature that you showed us while we were your guests on the 26th, 29th and 30th instants. The weather was bad and the clouds were so full of gloom that We would have had the blues anywhere else on earth other than in the midst of the happy crowd that We met in your city. A man would have to be a wooden Indian painted blue to remain in that frame of mind long in your midst. While our crowds were not so large. yet they made up in enthusiasm and good nature what they lacked in numbers. We take this oc- casion to say that We shall spend the balance of our baseball existence try ing to get 9 chance to return in some measure the kindness and courtesy that you bestowed on us while your guests. Kindly have your local paper to publish this so that everyone in Forrest City may understand just how we feel, and send us a copy. With good wishes, l am, Very sincerely,

completed transaction. The shares,

New York, New Haven and Hartford
company, share for share and to the
amount Of S12,000,O00, has been issued
to the former Boston and Maine stock
holders. The whole of the 100000
shares of Boston and Maine stock was
acquired previous to the passage of
the anti-merger law In Massachusetts
and none has been acquired since.
Talks with railroad officials here in

its interference with the rights of Bos-

states than Massachusetts and also
its bearings upon actual or possible
legislation in New Hampshire, where

ADDITIONAL LOCAL MATTER
NO TRACE OF GRANDMA
CHASE HAS Been FOUND
The People Of YOIa Make Diligent
Search for the Missing Old
Lady.

Yola, July 14.-(Special to the
Pioneer.)-Despite diligent search
which has been made in the woods
for miles around her claim, no trace
has yet been found of Mrs. Emily
Chase, known as grandma" Chase,
whose strange disappearance from
her home since June 9th has caused
a decided sensation in this com.
munity.
On Friday search was made by
party which was composed of every
settler in the vicinity of Mrs. Chase's
cabin including f. NJ. Chase, son
of the missing woman. Every foot
of ground for many rods in each
direction from the cabin was thor
oughly gone over and the brush
beaten, but there was absolutely
no clue whatever to aid the searchers
in finding Mrs. Chase.
The suspicion that there has been
foul play in connection with Mrs.
Chase's disappearance is gaining
ground, and there are many remarks
directed towards E. NJ. Chase, son
of Mrs. Chase. and Chase's wife.
Neighbors say that the old woman
(she was over 80 years of age) was
very shamefully misused by both
Chase and his wife, and that she
complained often of the harsh treat
ment accorded her.
According to those who should be
we'll acquainted with Mrs. Chase
and her condition, the elder Mrs.
Chase was never fully supplied with
good food and was compelled to get
her own wood and water, and was in
many other ways neglected.
Many of the neighbors are out
spoken in their belief that the son
and his wife have been instrumental
in getting the old lady out of the
way. However this may be, neither
exhibit much interest in the absence
of the frail old lady.
Theories as to the manner in
which Mrs. Chase disappeared vary
materially. Some are of the opinion
that she wandered from her shack in
an attempt to get out of the country
and has persisted in the woods, and
that her dead body will be found
later; and others express the belief
that the son and daughter know
where the old woman can be found
and that they are purposely keeping
her whereabouts from the public.
The authorities at Park Rapids
have been notified of the facts and
undoubtedly rigid investigation of
the affair will be made before the
end of the week if Mrs. Chase does
not reappear or her dead body is
not recovered.
