WHERE IS HUNT?
CREDITORS HUNT
Vaudeville Theater Mail
ager Has Gone and One
Hundred Dollars in I'm
paid Bills Were Left.
BAND BOYS UNPAID
Man Who Painted Scenery and Firms
That Wired and Furnished Theater
AsIo Neglected-Theater Closed and
Creditors Get Busy
BAND BOYS UNPAID

Nearly a thousand dollars worth
OF unpaid bills We're left behind
in this city by J. T. Hunt, former
manager OF the olympic thcater, a
ten and twenty cent vaudeville
house which was opened here sew
eral weeks ago on West Second ave-
nue.. where John Ryan's Rob Roy
Castle. q moving picture show, was
formerly conducted. Just where
Hunt went to no one seems to know.
but it is stated that he returned
to his former home, Fort Smith.
Previous to Hunts departure the
Olympic theater was closed because.
Hunt said. it failed to make good
financially. The house apparently
did a big business for several
days, but when the various crel-
itors OF Hunt presented their claims
to him he failed to pay, but put
them off with VARIOUS excuses,
promising to liquidatc all debts
within a few days Hunt re-
manned in the city several days af
ter the theater closed, stating that
he would reopen the place and
| would pay every dollar ne owed. A
day or two passed and Hunt disap-
peared as if he lad been swallowed
by Mother Earth. Then the cred
itors got busy. They are still busy,
but none Of the unpaid bills have
been paid
Among the unfortunates who dis
played SO much confidence in an
utter stranger are the members of
Smiths band, which blew them
selves hoarse for several. nights,
furnishing street music for the lit
tie theater. Bert Adwers. the local
sign painter and scenic artist, was
also left empty handed with
claim Of nearly 500 against the
missing manager. Adwers painted
the scenery used in the little play
house. There are many others,
among them being the Pine City
Electric Company, which complete
~ wired the house and furnished
all the electrical devices; the Simp-
son and Webb Furniture Company.
who will probably replevin several
hundred chairs in the place, and
many others, including the Ryland
Queensware G pmpany. the Knox
Walker Furniture Company, Zell-
ncr and Mansfield. contractors; r.
S. Thompson and Son, Baker and
Farrar, the Citizens Light and Tran
sit Company and many more.
Two of the firms mentioned are
due money for prizes, which were
given away by the management at
several of the performances.
When Hunt came here several
weeks ago to establish the theater
he stated that man named Thomp-
Son, whom he represented to be in
business in Fort Smith, was in with
him and that they proposed to form
vaudeville circuit Of popular
priced houses in the state. He
told later that Thompson failed to
make good his promises with him
and that was why he had to close
down.
Hunt came here an utter strang-
er. Hewent around to many places
and found no trouble in opening
accounts for the proposed theater.

BLUFF CITY DEAL
CONSUMMATEO
D. H. Duncan Gave Big
Check Yesterday for York
Interests in the Bluff City
Lumber Company.
100000 DEAL CLOSED
100000 DEAL CLOSED
Blum City Company Reorganized With
J F. Rutherford. President; D. II.
Duncan, yice.President and Seer.
tary, and Sam s. yaulS Treasurer.

One Of the largest checks writ
zen in Pine Bluff for many years is
that given Captain J. +. York. his
son, Robert York. and G. l.. Brown
ing Friday by ID. II. Duncan, in eX-
change for ,01S shares Of stock in
the Bluff City Lumber Company,
known as the tifty-four per cent OF
the total holdings in that mann
moth concern. A complete rcorgan
ization of the company followed
the signing OF the final papers in
the big lumber company deal. which
was announced in the Graphic sew
,ral days ago. The exact considcra-
ton has not been given out, but it
is understood that the York inter
csts sold for more than 100000,
and that more than 100000 was
paid in cash by Mr.. Duncan.
Immediately after the deal was
closed Friday, which will result In
a settlement Of all the differences
that have been aired in the Fed
cral, State and county courts for
several years, between the York and
Rutherford interests. The vari-
Gus suits and other litigations pend
ing in the courts at this time vii,
y dismissed by agreement and it i
expected that it will be the end Of
a lc7g waged fight for financial u
Drcmacy.
The retiring members Of the
lGui City Lumber Company are
Captain ]. Y. York, president; Rob
crt York, vice president and treas
urer, and c. L. Browning. seerc-
tary. The latter held only very
small number of shares Of stock in
the company. The Bluff City Lnm-
Der Company has been re-organized
with John F. Rutherford, president:
u. II. Duncan, VICE president and
secretary. and Sam S. Eaulx, treas
urer.
Neither Mr.. Rutherford nor Mr..
Duncan would discuss the deal FL
,a,. when oneStionad as 10 1ha con
siaeration. They stated that it va
their intention to resume operation
at all the lumber mills owned by
the company Immediately. They
have also on hand 25.00O,00o feet
OF lumber. most of which is stored
at their plant at Clio. Cleveland
county. This alone will net the
new owners a quarter of a million
dollars when sold, it is figured.
Mr.. Duncan sold four shares of
the newly acquired stock to John
F.. Rutherford, Immediately after
the deal was closed, giving each OF
the two owners an equal fifty Pc
cent holding. Sam S. VaulX. the
new treasurer, has been connected
with the company mere LOT l'ldh,
years and was given several shaH
of stock by the two millionai:e.'
to complete the organization.
The property purchased in tn
deal includes all of the Bluff Ci'>
Lumber Company's holdings and
valuable short line railroad r'n-
ming from Clio in Cleveland county
to point in Grant county. Amon@
the mills Included in the deal a'e
those located at Clio Ark Ken
ney, Ark, Bastrop, La, and We
nice, La, together with many lun'
Der yards throughout the country
Since the troubles Of the Bluff City
stockholders went into the chan
Gerry court here several month
ago, all the mills have been shut
down.
