Two others of the band seized the young

ARKANSAS RIVER BOOMING.
Citizens Planning to Divert Course Of
Stream to Save Property.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Nov. 30.-Fearing
that the already weakened banks Of
the Arkansas river would be unable
to withstand the pressure Of the water
when the full force of the present rise
reached Pine Bluff 1t was decided at
a mass meeting of citizens held here
today to divert, IL possible, the channel
of the river by the cutting through of
narrow strip of land where the river
starts a horseshoe bend" several
miles north Of this city. This plan, II
successful, while leaving Pine Bluff
away from the main channel, would
eliminate. it is believed, the danger OF
an overflow which would cause the
destruction Of large amount o.
property.
