RUTHERFORD BUYS
 VALUABLE PROPERTY
Purchases Corner at Sixth Avenue and Main Street From (. $. Bacon and
 E. P. Ladd for S15.000,

X deal was closed this morning by which John F. Rutherford, one of the most prominent business men in this part of the state, became the owner of the property on the southeast corner of Main street and Sixth avenue. The former owners of the property were c. s Bacon of this city and E. P. Ladd of Little Rock. and the purchase price was $15,000 They bought the property about year and a half ago for $12,650 This shows the increase in value of Pine Bluff real estate. Just what MT. Rutherford intends to do with the property has not been given out, but it is presumed that he vii! build business houses on it, as proper ty that far south is now very valu- able for business lots. The deal has been under consideration for the past several days, but it was not consum- mated until this morning.
 This is some of the most valuable unimproved property in the city, and will doubtless continue to increase in value at a rapid rate.

The management of the Forest Park tneater is to be congratulated upon the excellence of the company which it has secured for the entertainment of theater goers this week-the Allen Curtis Musical Company. The man. moth audience that filled the auditor jum from all of it's four walls, last night is ample proof of the apprecia- tion of the Pine Bluff public and it was a regrettable fact that the theater was not large enough to accommodate all who went to the park to see the show. More than two hundred people were forced to return to the city, being turned away from the box office. The rapid and plentiful car service of the Transit company was one of the mo- ticeable features. The crowds were handled with ease by the car people and most everybody reached the Park before the curtain went up on the first act. It was the largest crowd that has ever been seen in the auditor aum at the park and not one person
 went away displeased with the show
 The catchy music. the fun making and operatic work are all being praised to- day on every side and had the Curtis company tried it could not have made s better impression than that of last Might. The interior of the building < was comfortably cool. the building be-

PRODUCES MONEY
FOR THE WOMAN
and is RELEASED

RENO, Feb. 2s.-I. A. Savage is
out OF Jail He got out by agreeing
to give $4,000 to Miss Simona
Aguirre, who says she staked him
while he was discovering the Ne
vada Wonder mine. Miss Agulrre
brought suit for $4,000 but after
conference with the prisoner, and
after more conferences between the
attorneys involved, she agreed to
take the amount above named, in
stead of her original claim.
Savage was reluctant to part with
the money. and made every possible
effort to dodge the issue. His prin-
ciple scheme was to give his stocks
to friends. Just how much stock he
thus gave away is hard to say, but
enough was rescued by the officers
to make the settlement possible.
There seems little likelihood now
that the marriage which was agi.
tated Will ever take place. Savage
does not seem to like the woman
very much. especially since she has
had him locked up and taken away
his money.

GOULD PREPARI
FOR AN ENTRANCE
into TONOPAH

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2S.--With-
in very short time work on a new
railroad from this city to the south
ern mining camps of Nevada will be
commenced. The project has been
completely financed by French syn
dicate, although there is reason to
believe that the people who are real
ly back of it are no other than the
Gould interests. Arrangements have
been made whereby the Santa Fe
track will be used between this city
and Stockton. From the latter place
the road will strike almost directly
east, through pass in the Sierras
and then into Tonopah and Goldfield.
Although the route after leaving
Stockton has not b-en made public,
it is thought that the Sonora Pass
will be used. This is an available
pass and will make it possible for
the road to tap rich district that
is now far removed from any rail-
rooad. The fact that the Western
Pacific is known to have acquired the
" & 7. railroad, which runs south
from Reno. lends color to the belief
that this new project is but another
shrewd move of Gould's, who will
thus gain entrance to the rich min
ing districts of Nevada, and also con
meet with his main line by means
of the " & T. road. which runs to
Reno, to which place the Western
Pacific will build branch line from
its main survey. Such a move would
place Gould at one stroke in a posi-
tion to compete for mastery in all
parts of Nevada. and would give him
big advantage over his most pow
erful rivals.

PLATT AMOURS
ABOUT TOsBE
GIVEN AN AIRING

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-The
amours of Senator Thomas C. Platt
are about to be aired in a suit for
divorce brought against him by Mae
Wood, the woman who has kept the
aged statesman worrying for many
years. She asserts that she will
name sixteen correspondents with
whom Platt has been on familiar
terms.
The woman came into the lime
light at the time of Platt's marriage
to his present wife, Mrs. Lillian T.
Janeway, in October, 1908. The an
nouncement of Platt's marriage
caused much gossip because his first
wife had been dead for only a few
months. This was intensified by the
statement of Miss Wood that she
had every expectation of becoming
Mrs. Platt She visited New York
with some of his letters, which she
threatened to publish under the
title. THE Love Letters OF Boss. .
Frank Platt, son of the Senator,
learned of her purpose in time to
prevent the exposure. 1t was re-
ported at the time that Miss Wood
had received consideration for her
forbearance. AT the time she was
employed as clerk in the Postoffice
Department at Washington. While
in Washington she met the Senator.
A friendship sprung up between
them, and during it's continuance the
letters were exchanged.
Miss Wood is now in Colon, Mich,
She is reported as saying that the
nature of the testimony will be SEN
sational. Besides naming the six
teen women, she asserts that many
crimes, including robbery and mur-
der, will be proven.
