ZELDA MYSTERY
 AT THE ORPHEO

Although Messrs. Wilhoit and
 Solmson were compelled to disap- point the patrons of Forest Park the ater last week with the great Zelda mystery on account of Zelda's' illness. MT. Wilhoit. manager of the Orpheo theater, has decided that Pine Bluff theatrical patrons would not suffer the loss of this wonderful exhibition by inducing Zelda and company to
 accept this weeks engagement at the popular little Orpheo theater. In odrer to get them to consent it was necessary to guarantee them tre- mendous patronage and we trust the amusement loving people will turn out to witness this great exhibition of skill as they do in all other cities. It is almost impossible to explain this wonder of the twentieth century, but seeing is believing and the manage ment cheerfully assures the public that they will refund the price of admission if it isn't the greatest at traction ever witnessed in any theater in Pine Bluff AS for the Zelda people, they offer $500 to any one able to un- ravel the mystery.

 to get ready for an immediate trial. The witnesses, he said, are in the jur- isdiction of the court, but could not be served within day or two days. It
 is the right of the state, he said. to have time in which to prepare for trial, just as it is the right of the de- fendant Judge Hon stated that he
 would take the case up for trial in a
 week and if the status of the matter is what he is given to understand it is. he will admit the defendant to bail. Col. Oglesby remarked that the court
 could fix the bail at from 9 cents to
 $25 ,O0O, as the defendant could as
 readily give one bond as the other and either one would cause him to app
 pear for trial Judge Hon asked for the grand jury book that he might
 read the testimony taken before that
 body Judge Hon fixed the bond at S1OOOO, which was readily given.
