 ON MAIN STREET

Unidentified Man Sends a Bullet
 Crashing Through Plate Glass Win-
 dows at The Progress-Windows
 Were Insured.
 Some unidentified person fired 8 piatol at Second avenue and Main street early yesterday morning and the bullet crashed through two plate glass windows in the Hicks building, occupied by The Progress. The bullet evidently was fired from the South side of Second avenue and passed out into Main street in a Northwesterly direction. The police made an effort to locate the careless revolver shot, but failed, aa no one could be found in that neighborhood immediately aft CT the shooting. The shot was fired shortly after the midnight hour and several persons in a nearby restau- rant and vego's billiard hall heard the report. They rushed out on the street, expecting to find dead man. but the broken windows were the only evidences of the mans work. The windows were insured with an indemnity company and will be re- placed without cost to the owners of the building.

FREIGHT HANDLERS
 ARE IN JAIL
Half Dosen Negroes, Who are Charg. ed With Robbing Freight Cars On Cotton Belt Arrested. se.

Constable Frank Stewart and City Detective E. c. Stanley pulled oil an- other wholesale arrest'' yesterday when they succeeded in putting a check to series of systematic rob- berries, which have been; going on at the local Cotton Belt ltzfreight depot for more than year, and incidental ly jailed six negroes employed at the depot as freight handlers. The ne- groes admitted their guilt in the sweat box" and they now occupy cells at the Jefferson county jail. The erring half dozen will be given a preliminary hearing before Magis- trate J. A. Frazier Thursday.
 For many months transfer cars routed through this city by the Cot ton Belt road have been entered and robbed at repeated intervals and all efforts of the special railroad detec- tive to locate the thieves proved un- successful. Constable Stewart and Detective Stanley took up the matter several weeks ago and by shadowing negro employees at the local freight house soon unearthed a clue. They watched their actions for days and nnaily, on yesterday, arrested Will Hughes, one of the gang. Hughes was taken to police headquarters where he told everything. duplicating Mack Brown, Eugene Kirk, Will Boyle, Will Francis and Jasper Strange. other negroes employed at the depot.
 The remaining five were soon in custody and when separated at head quarters they each implicated the other in the thefts. Warrants were issued against them, charging grand larceny.
 Constable Stewart and Detective Stanley recovered large assortment of the stolen goods at the homes of the several negroes. A visit to them revealed many pairs of new shoes. suits of clothes. shirts, soap, ] whiskey "a new shotgun. ,thrsad and various other articles of value. The officers cay the negroes would open through freight car. remove sarti- cles they desired and seal them up | again.

RIGGS WILL ARRIVE
 TODAY AND CONFER

Baseball Fans Still Anxious To Join
 State League And May Take Over
 Fort Smith Franchise.
 With the retirement of Fort Smith from the Arkansaw State Baseball League Pine Bluff fans have revived interest in the sport and there is a possibility of this city yet being rep resented in the eight-club circuit. Manager A. s. Riggs, of the Argenta club will arrive in the city this morn ing to talk over the proposition with the local fans and arrangements may be made whereby club will be put on the diamond this season with ''Pine Bluff" on their uniforms. At torney T. Havis Nixon, local en- thusiast, was in communication yes- terjay with the President of the League and was told that if Pine Bluff wanted to get into the game on Thursday. when the State League season begins, arrangements could be made for 1t. The Fort Smith team, which has signed and Is in trim for the opening. will be brought here and two or three players from the Little Rock Southern League club sent here to help out until the team was per fected. The greatest drawback at this time Is the absence of a local baseball park. Forest Park diamond Is fenceless and is not in good con dition.

Thaw was worried today as he was
BEFORE when the district attorney for
the fifth time asked him to define his
mental condition now and when ne
killed White. He held doggedly to
the assertion that he had never been
medically insane" but that he might
have been legally insane at the
time of the shooting.
Mr.. Jerome's examination lasted all
the forenoon but on the whole Thaw
matched his wits promptly.
