every explosion was in direct defiance

while they slept.
More than 1000 yards OF that part

The initiative was taken by bust.

night. There Is no clew to the dyna-
miters, but Il Is supposed the federal
government will make a thorough in

here Wednesday that such action was
expected. and instructions were given
that It must not be permitted.
Sheriff Philpot hurried to the river

heard, but he was unable to cross the
swollen stream in the darkness, as a
boat would have been helpless. A four.

leave before the dynamiting began.
Explosions Heard for Miles.
The loud explosions were heard for
miles and great crowds hurried to the
river, but could see nothing in the
darkness.
The dynamiting was done to save
Pine Blur property, but It Is impossi.

The bikes which were destroyed
were built by the government some
fifteen years ago at a great expense.
The object OF the levee was to throw
the current toward the main part of
the city, with view OF the formation
of Standard. but the result was far
different Instead OF depositing silt,
the current began to cut sharply into
the south bank and to undermine the
main streets OF the town.
Pine Bluff is situated on the convex
side OF a sharp curve. and the prin-
cipal business houses are near the wa
