 William Hughes, the negro who tNlil He9ve 10 years for forgery, se- cured $95o from the Bodcaw Bank, sAt sooan'pa, Ark, more than two years ago. There Is an interesting story connected with his recent arrest and conviction. The negro passed forg- cd check on the cashier of that fn- stltution. After being convicted re- cently the negro made q confession In which he said portion of the gold coin bad been buried by hi.n near Houston, Texas. He told that 1t was buried only- q short distance from bis fathers home and he fur hsshed diagram by which he said the spot might be located and the money recovered.
 A. r. Beasaey, cashier of the Bo7- cav Bank, left immediately for uoqs- ton and although he found q place answering the description of that gwen by the prisoner as the spot where the treasure was hidden. he talied to find the pot of coin. The ground had been recently disturbed III that vicinity and 1t is believed that some other person was 'tipped off" to the buried gold and carried it away before the arrival of Mir. Beasley.
 Hughes is not an intelligent looking darkey. He is, on the other hand of or0lhary appearance. He appeared at stamps two years ago wearing q long tall coat and a high "stove pipe" hat. He claimed to fbe State organizer for d we'll known colored secret order. A lew weeks later he managed to eet the Bodcaw Bank to cash q check for nm for $950. MT.

After cashing the cheek Hughes disappeared and was moi heard from until recently when he was arrested at Houston.
 The Lafayette county prisoners were cared for between trains at the county Jail Saturday by jailer Tom Meeks. Hughes, when questioned. stated that he did not know where the money was. He sail they offered to compromise his sentence if he would tell where the gold was locat- ed, but he could not see his way clear to make it known.

 The speaker reviewed the big East End fire and it's fatal effects, telling of the prompt work he accomplished in raising funds for the East End sufferers during those trying times, raising more than $40,000 for their relief. He told of how he. as acting mayor, had made the then Pine Bluff Light and Water Company come to time, when is was evident that their water plant was not sufficient to pro- tect the city from fire. He says he kept after the water company off, sclaIs until they finally consented to bNild a modern water plant here.
