Heavy Loss at Pine Bluff, Ark.
Pine Bluff, Ark, Dec. 1.-Following
an all night struggle against the en-
croachment of the Arkansas river the
citizens of Pine Bluff renewed an ap-
parently hopeless struggle today. The
fate Of property aggregating probably
S500,000 is in the balance unless they
check the waters force. The Jeffer-
son hotel, court house and other build
ings are almost sure of destruction
when the crest of the flood reaches
this point. To this is added the strong
probability that If these buildings go
and the river remains unchecked near
ly the entire business section of Pine
Bluff will be destroyed A section of
land north of the court house walls
is slowly moving towards the river.
Several warehouses along the banks
which have been partly wrecked are
tottering. The entire river front is
cracked and unsafe even for pedes
trians
A telegram has been sent Secretary
Of War Wright asking permission to
change the course of the river.

Rice and Barton's show met with the ap-
prevail of large audience at the Gayety
last evening Mr.. Barton appears in the
show to good advantage. Because of his
size. however. it is impossible for him
TO appear at thesame time as the chorus.
He IS a comedian of the old school and
manages to bring many laugh where
others might find no opportunity what
ever. At the end Of the first burlesque
Miss Amy Nelson won much applause
singing a yodel song. In the olio Eckoff
and Gordon starred In their novel musical
act Murphy and Magee have a bit of
clever conversation which was well re-
ceived. The closing burlesque is a we'll
constructed farce. The chorus Is pretty
and we'll costumed. while the musical
numbers are exceptionally bright.
