GREATBILL AT
 THE MAJESTIC

The new management of the Majes- tic theater, formerly the Theatorium, offered decidedly the best vaudeville bill last night that has been seen in Pine Bluff and if merit wins the play house ought to be crowded for the remainder of the week at every per formance. Louis and Love, singing and dancing contortionists, are ex- ceptionally clever. Berling and Un- ben, in their singing and dancing act have had no equals here and the musical act of Herbert and Vance is feature that could head the bills of the larger city houses. Their selections are magnificent and they play most any kind Of an instrument.

Young Men Arrested Here as Camden Murder Sus-
 poets Prove Alibi.
NEGRO UNDER ARREST
Some Talk Of Lynching Last Night But Cooler Heads Prevailed-AS-
 SaSsinauon q Mystery.

Camden, Arkansas, has a red!
 murder mystery which was thought
 to have been solved in the arrest
 here early Sunday morning of E. B. Cain, son of thief of Police Cain of
 Waynesboro, Texas and s. Smith. ,ut these two yoan.s men. Monday proved complete ali5i before Coroner Frank Scott at Camden. They were arrest
 ed while riding through this city on
 top of Cotton Belt passenger coach
 few hours after Nose Levi, an old , and highly respected merchant at Camden, was stabbed to death in lis store. Cain and Smith are still III jail at Camden, but will be releases, Tuesday as they have thoroughly con-
 vinced the people of that place that they had nothing to do with the trag- edy
 The fact that Cain and Smith hal. money and diamonds and were beat ing their way" over the road and the further fact that Gains shirt was covered with blood brought about their arrest, return to Camden and q
 thorough investigation. Jndge Leonard Stern, of Camden, conducted the ex- animation of the prisoners and Wit
 nesses be6ore Coroner Scott and every witness placed on the stand corroborated the statements of the
 young men. 34s They showed their whereabouts every minute they were
 in Camden, leaving the city shortly
 after the tragedy for St. Louis. Cain explained the blood stains by nose bleed and said they were beating their way" to save money. One of the men was employed at Camle1 l newspaper office at Camden for sey-
 eral days. Two grips, which were
 expressed to this city by the men Saturday evening, were sent to Cam- den today and as soon as they are opened they will be released from jail
 Following the Coroner's hearing Constable Bradshaw arrested M. J.
 Hall, negro, who is believed to
 know something of the assassination Of Levi. Witnesses testified that he
 was seen standing in Lewis store
 shortly before his body was found
 there. Hall has made conflicting statements and a further investiga- tion is being made. The Coroner's | inquest was adjourned till Wednes-
 day pending developments.
 i Governor Donaghey has offered d
 reward of $500 for the capture of the
 assassin. The citizens of Camden offer $500, the Knights of Pythias
 lodge, $10o and Sheriff Chidester,
 $100
 According to witnesses Hall was
 seen shortly after old man Levi was
 killed with a grip, near Lewis store
 A large quantity of goods and valu-
 ables are missing from the store The usually quiet little town is all
 excitement and there was some tAlk
 of lynching there last night, Aut cooler heads prevailed and no trouble is expected at least until the true facts of the tragedy are unearthel. The funeral of Mo1e Levi took

RURAL DISTRICTS OF ST. CLAIR
COUNTY NEED PROTECTION.

Several thefts and criminal actions
that have occurred in this neighborhood
and throughout st. Clair County Of
late demonstrates very clearly that the
rural sections of the county have not
proper police protection. Only a short
time ago our city council sent in a re-
quest to the county authorities to give
us deputy sheriff for Yale and sur
rounding towns that we might be pro-
tected from class of housebreakers,
highwaymen, thugs and criminals who
would surely infest this section under
existing conditions. The request was
turned down on short notice.
Who was there here to get after the
guilty ones at the time Mrs. Kate Men
erey's home was broken into and a
valuable watch and ten dollars in cash
taken from Bert Jardine's room?
We ask the county authorities if they
do not believe had an an officer been
located at Yale at the time Zuelch's
store at Avoca was broken into and
goods stolen the guilty ones would
more likely have been landed than to
wait half a day then send an officer
from Port Huron to investigate.
Another case we will cite and that
is the the robberits at Capac where
two deputies were sent from the
sheriff's Office and spent whole day
there and did nothing.
Our own little city experienced a
case Tuesday evening where if another
officer of authority had been located
here Frank Dawse would have been
behind the bars instead of being at
large. A matter of fact no one with
out the proper authority cares to inter
fere.
Survey St. Clair county today and
cite us where there is placed a single
deputy sheriff outside of the county
seat. Port Huron has its police force
also the sherff's entire force. Is it fair
and just to the rural districts where a
goodly share of the money is raised by
taxation to help support the system?
OF course Port Huron pays her share
of the taxes but see what they get in
return, where the rural districts go un-
protected.
The rural population should wake up
and demand that our lives and proper.
ty be protected. Our wants will never
be granted unless united effort is
made.
