ing the second destruction of the roof of the boiler room in the past several months. The prompt work of the Pine Bluff fire department, assisted by the private fire companies main- tained by the Sawyer & Austin Lum- Der Company's plant, which adjoins the property of the Imperial Wheel Works, and small company of thf latter was all that prevented the complete destruction of the plant.
 The fine water pressure furnished by the new waterworks plant enabled the fire boys from Fire Stations Nos. 1 and 2 to get the flames under con- trol in short order. The fire created no little excitement in the western part of the city, where many large industrial plants are located.

JUDGE JONES CALLS
 ON LYNN BUTLER
Prosecuting Attorney Said to Have Been Given Name of Man Who But Ter Relieves Attempted to Take His Life.

Prosecuting Attorney w. D. Jones is reported to have visited the home of Lynn s. Butler, who was shot and painfully wounded by an alleged
 would-be assassin Tuesday morning, while at the Cotton Belt railroad crossing waiting for a train. Judge Jones is said to have been told the name of the man whom Butler says he recognized as being the one who attempted to take his life. Butler will not give out the name to the press, but states that as soon as he Is able to leave his bed he will take legal action against his assailant. He will probably appear before the Jefferson county grand jury Monday. when it reconvenes to dispose of business pending before it, and urge that an indictment be returned against the supposed assailant. Buffers attorney will not give out a statement other than those published on the day fol- lowing the shooting. Judge Jones said last night that he is not in pos- session of the name of the woulJ-be assailant, but that there would prob ably be something to give out later. :

BELL HERE READY TO BUILD ROAD
 -r Confers on Pine Bluff North and South Railroad and Bridge Across River.
TO CALL MASS MEETING
Is Accompanied by Representatives of MOnied Interests Who Wish
 to. Take Proposed Bonds.

Thomas A. Bell, of St. Louis, who made a contract with the directors O. the North and South railroad two years ago to build both the road and bridge across the Arkansas river at Pine Bluff, is in the city and in con- ference with the former executive committee. It will be remembered that the building of the road was prevented by legal difficulties which the legislature alone could remove Senate Bill No. 191, recently passed by both houses of the legislature and signed by the governor, is supposed to make the way now open for the building of the road. As it is mat ter in which every citizen of Pine Bluff is deeply interested mass meeting will be called at an early day and our people will be fully ad- vised of the exact situation. Mr. Bell gives every assurance that he is ready to build the road and bridge and it is up to our people to say whether they want it done. MT. Bell has with him gentleman who represents cer- tain financial interests who are ready to take hold of the bond issue.
 It is proposed to build the North and South railroad from Pine Bluff north to connect with the Rock Is- land road at either Lonoke, DuValls Bluff or Mesa. The surveys have been made and the building of the railroad and bridge is now believed to be assured for Pine Bluff. It will cost million and a half dollars.

The Seven Merry Maids seem .o have. danced themselves into favor with the patrons of the Theatorium. Crowded houses are the rule nightly. The change of program Is . much better bill than that of the previous three nights. There seems to be more harmony of action in the chorus and the songs are sung, with more ex- pression. MT.
