 Once.

The successful bidder Was E. J. Wetterson, d promi- nent and reliable road builder of Chi cago, who has already arrived in the city and is making preparations to break the ground for the proposed work by next Monday The work will he carried out with modern eXcavat- ing machines and expert paving men will be brought here from Chicago to carry out the work Mr. Wetterson has had some of the largest contract In the past few years and the Use of creoSoted wood paving blocks ill the larger cities has attracted much at tention in recent years from smaller city road builders.
 The territory to be paved with wood blocks embraces Walnut street, from Barraqne street to Ninth avenue, West on Ninth tone blockD to Olive street, and South on Olive street to Twen- tieth avenue The district also n- cludes West Third avenue from the West side of Main street to the East side of Walnut street The creosoted wood blocks will be laid on d cushion of sand, to be place over , inches of solid concrete.

In less than minute tht firemen had a line of hose laid and were throwing water on the burning building.
 In the meantime the members of ths Ringlehaupt and Jacobson families had taken refuge at the residence Of Harry 4asker, which stands on an ad- joining lot. Mir Ringlehaupt was ill and had to be assisted to the home ot the neighbor.
 The fire evidently started ill tie servants room from some unknown cause, about 10:30, and damage to the extent of about $2,0oO was done before the flames were eXtinguished.

,AY ELLIS WILL
 PLEAD GUILTY Special From Little Rock Says He Will Accept Two Years i'll State Prison
MAY BE PARDONED
faS Tuberculosis and Relatives Fear That He Will Die if Left
 in Jail.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 9.-lt is said hat W. Y. Ellis. who was tried here ast week for the killing of \. ?, Willis may be plead guilty to man. slaughter and take the lowest sen- enee of two years, though this course las not been definitely decided upon oy the attorney in the case.
 Congressman Robinson and J. Wythe Walker who were counsel for the defense at the trial last week, are not in the city.
 It is known that one of the attor- neys for Ellis, who is in the city has advised that the defendant do not plead guilty. and that he advises an- other trial to be held on the 18th of this month. It is practically settled that the decision of Judge Lea relative to the denial of bail for Ellis will not De appealed.
 If the case is tried again it is very sure that the same attorneys would appear for the state. and all of the same ttorneys with the exception of Congressman Robinson. who is at- tending to his duties at Washington would appear for the defendant.
 The work of securing another jur
  before because of the fact that many people '*Ao had not heard of the case before hs read the reports o',i of it this this made Acceptable jurors at the first trial have heard the facts and ex- pressed opinions.
 Wi Ellis attorneys say that definite announcement will made soon. @ Judge F. T. Vaughan of counsel fol the defense. made the following state ment this morning to the Arkansas Democrat:
 '"The statement appearing in the Commercial Appeal this morning tC the effect that the state and defense had about decided upon a compromise by which Ellis is to plead guilty to Granddaughter and accept the lowest spunishment of two years. is absol- utely unauthorized by the attorneys Ain the case or by Mir. or Mrs. Ellis No such an agreement has been reach sed, but I will say, however that it is
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1909-12-10

highly probable the case will take the course suggested"
 A similar statement was made bv Attorney Danaher for the defense, who said he knew nothing of such a proposed compromise.
 According to the report current about the case, the purpose of the defense would be to appeal to the governor for a pardon, after accepting the minimum punishment, on account of the poor health of the accused.
 Judge Vaughan further stated that should the defense and state not agree to the compromise, it is quite likely the second trial of the case will begin on Tuesday, December 2S, a date which is understood to be acceptable to both the state and the defense.
 Ellis is in very poor health, being a victim of tuberculosis. His rela- tives fear that jail confinement for any length of time will resll, in his death.

BABES IN TOYLAND"
 AS DAINTY AS EVER

Babes in Toyland seen here on several occasions was the offering at the Elks Theater last night and had it not been for the fact that there has been a rush of good shows this week. it might have enjoyed a more liberal patronage. The show is ela- borately staged and has astrons and we'll trained chorus. There has never been any fault to find with The Babes in Toyland" AS a musical eN- travaganza it has been a continuous
 success. There is nothing lacking in it musically this season. Miss Marie Malatesta, as Contrary Mary
 is exceedingly graceful and has a very sweet voice. She does several
 clever specialties and her dancin" made a hit wit hthe audience. Miss Marie Radcliffe as Jane does much good work, assisted by Ignacio Mar tinetti, who appears to advantage ill his comedy work and dancing num- bers. The Mother Goose song by Gus PiXley and Miss Radcliffe was re- peatedly encored and merited it. The chorus of this years company is, Ii anything, stronger than that of last season, although the solo work is not up to the standard of former sue cesses. Miss Helen Mcleod was evi- dently suffering from severe cold i Her voice failed her in several num- 1 berS and as a result her songs fell flat. To those who have never seen the performance, Babes in Toyland l is delightfully."- entertaining.

What will be one of the largest and most important real estate deals con. summated in this city in years will be recorded today, when !. E. Talbot Will transfer. quarter of d block Dt property, known as the old Talbot homestead, at Fifth avenue and Main street, to a prominent local banking institution, William Nehol, F. t, Bridges. Ben J. Altheimer, 0. F. Me kenzie and W. F. Graham. The pu..- chase price will be from $40O to $500 a foot, the corner lot 90 feet frontage on Main street. being sold for $500 per foot
 Although those interested in the deal would not confirm the sale yes terday it was admitted that the deed : would be signed today and recorded. The banking institution will erect a modern. three story bank building at Fifth avenue and Main street Ben !. Altheimer, F. c. Bridges and William Nichol will also erect d fine building on their lot and Graham and Me kenzie, who already have valuable realty holdings in that immediate To- cality, will do like wise. Within the next two years, it is planned, to hava the entire site covered with modern buildings.
 The total consideration is said to be $120,000. The site is one of the most valuable in Pine Bluff for busi- ness houses and the price paid though to casual observer it would seem high, is regarded by investors as being very reasonable. For the past several months the business sec tion of Pine Bluff has been gradually moving Southward from the present heart of the business district. Prop erty values on South Main street have been increasing almost daily and the indications are that more big deals will be recorded there within the next mated today will have a tendency t revive the real estate business here although in the past several month many big deals have been made fol real estate in all parts of the city.
