Young Boy Shoots Cousin to Death.
 While shooting rats in a barn near Maumelle Friday afternoon, Wort, the son of Dan Holiday, shot and killed Bob, the 11-yearold son of Omer Holli- day. The boys were cousins, and the shooting, according to meager informa- 'tion, was purely accidental.
 The tragedy is remarkable in the light of recent events. The father of the boy who is alleged to have fired the gun that caused the death of his cousin was shot and killed by R. T. Clay. Only few days ago Arthur, the son of H. P Clay, brother of R. E. Clay, stabbed and killed Marshall Null, negro lad at Natural Steps
 Clay and Holiday were brothers-in- law and young Holiday, who is al legged to have fired the shot that killed his cousin, is son of the man slain and nephew of the slayer.
 On the Clay side Of the house the hand of fate, if it could be so termed has been equally oppressive Arthur Clay, son of H. P. Clay, is under S1,000 bond to await the action of the Grand Jury in connection with the death of Marshall Null. R. F. Clay, brother of H. P. Clay, is under bond to answer a charge of murder in the second de gree.
 As well as could be learned the cousins were playing in the barn and shooting rats with some sort of fire arm. From the information at hand it appears that Bob Holiday got in front of bullet that struck him in the head and that death resulted within an hour. It is understood the killing was quite accidental.

Vital Question at Issue.

The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion is having it's own troubles with the railroads. According to the belief of it's members, ths cases pending now in the courts will decide whether the people are going to have a strong commerce law or just a makebelieve. The trouble is over the interpretation of the laws, and at present there are in the courts, cases which raise nearly every question vital to the interstate commerce law.

Pine Bluff Fears Work of River.

The Arkansas river is slowly carry ing away valuable downtown property adjoining the business district of Pine Bluff, and unless the revetments on the river front there are repaired and new dykes installed immediately some of the most valuable business houses, the Jefferson county court house, the Hotel Jefferson, Pine Bluffs largest hotel, will go into the stream. .Iarly Wednesday moning the river bank at the foot of Chestnut and Pine streets gave way and more than 100 feet of ground, including an entrance into West Pullen street, disappeared. Part of large brick warehouse owned by General R. NJ. Knox, just north of Chestnut street, was carried away and several thousand dollars worth of hides belonging to A. F. Dreyfus, stored there, were hurriedly removed to another building in the eastern part of the city. Persons living in houses on Pullen steet, between Chest nut and Walnut streets, and those living in small cottages on Chestnut street, are moving hurriedly. They have rented cottages in other parts of the city, and their household goods are being moved for fear that the river will continue 10 eat it's way into the yc"y heart of the business section.
 Mr1. Sarah Bluthenthal and family, who have made their home in the old Bluthcnthal hotel property for more than 20 years, have vacated the build ing ol Pullen street and neighbors are also leaving. Already more than 100 feet of ground in the rear of the R. M Knox Company's store on West Barraque street has been carried away and it is expected that the caving will continue for several days.
 The Arkansas river came to a stand there Wednesday afternoon, but it is feared that when it begins to recede much more property at that point will be damaged.
 The Pine Bluff Storage Company is moving all effects from a brick ware house in anticipation of further trou bic. The river bank at the foot of I 1HG Stl eGJ Io dloO cay iiS dliu Hidooco of earth were seen to fall into the liver in the rear of the Hotel Jeffer son and the Jefferson county court house at intervals during We'd nesday.
 The street at the intersection of Chestnut and Fullen streets has en- tirely disappeared and traffic there has been suspended The edge of the river bank at that point now runs along the sidewalk on the south side of Pullen street.
 During the June rise the river bank from Beech to Tennessee streets, just north of the business district, gave evidences of weakness and there was considerable caving at that time. On East Barrraque street owners of houses were compelled to move them into the street to save them. As a result of this trouble an improvement district was recently formed by the property owners for the purpose of inn proving the river front. New revet- ments and dykes are needed and gov ornment officials inspected the banks and reported that the work would cost about $32,000. The government agreed to expend $20000 if the proper ty owners raised the additional S12,- GOO. It was for the purpose of defray-
 ing this part of the expense that the impoyement district was formed.
