tics of the Globe fire eXtinguisher
on the Bank street show grounds last
evening, with number of property
owners and business men present,
ana all agreed that the demonstra-

this city. The wind blew and the
fire ragged with the flames thirty to
forty feet in the air, but when the
chemical powder was applied to the
base of the flames the fire was in
stantly extinguished, which proves
the wonderful efficiency of the
Globe fire extinguisher, which has
proven by actual test to be the most
effective fire eXtinguisher ever de-
vised.

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-year-old son of Omer Holli-
day. The boys were cousins, and the
shooting, according to meager informa-
ton, 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 a few days ago Arthur,
the son of H. P. Clay, brother of r. f.
Clay, stabbed and killed Marshall
Null, a 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 a 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 $1,000
bond to await the action of the Grand
Jury in connection with the death of
Marshall Null. r. e. 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 a bullet that struck him in the
head and that death resulted within
an hour It is understood the killing
was quite accidental.

Pine Bluff Fears Work Of River.

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. Early
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 a 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 to eat its way into
the very heart Of the business section.
Mrs. Sarah Bluthenthal and family,
who have made their home in the old
Bluthenthal hotel property for more
than 90 years, have vacated the build
ing on Pullen street and neighbOrs are
also leaving. Already more than 100
feet of ground in the rear Of the R.
NJ 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-
Bile. The river bank at the foot Of
Pine street is also caying and masses
of earth were seen to fall into the
river 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 Pullen 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 caying 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 i'm.
proving the river front New revet-
ments and dykes are needed and gov
ernment officials inspected the banks
and reported that the work would
cost about $4,000. The government
agreed to expend $4,000 if the proper
ty owners yaised the additional $l2,.
600. 1t was for the purpose of defray-
ing this part of the expense that the
improvement district was formed.
