 IN PINE BLUFF ROAD
Pine Bluff Said to be After Memphis,
 Paris and Gulf.

Nashville, Aug. 25.-It is said that Pine Bluff is taking an active interest in the extension of the Memphis. Paris and Gulf railroad from Murfreesboro.
 One of the inducements offered is said to be the building of a bridge across the Arkansas river for the rail road, which is in itself big part of tie expense that would be incurred n building to that city.
 Should Pine Bluff make it's induce ments strong enough, it is said the line may be built by way of Arkadel- phia to that city from Pine Bluff to Memphis by way of Mariana
 While it has been announced that the road will be eXtened to Hot Springs, the contract, as to the bonus and right of way, has not yet been closed with that city, which leaves the railroad in a position to consider any other proposition.

RECORDS GO BACK
 TO PRINCETON
Latest Move in County Seat Fight in
 Dallas County.

Fordyce, Aug. 25.-County Judge R. $. Dunn today entered an order re- moving the records of Dallas County from Fordyce back to Princeton and it now appears the fight for the county seat has bearely good start It was argued before the court otday that the removal of the records from Princeton to Fordyce was illegal. John w. Wade, of the firm of Miles & Wade of Little Rock, argued the case for Princeton and T. B. Morton was the attorney for Fordyce.
 The records were removed from Princeton to Fordyce several months ago. The town of Princeton declared the removal was not legal and took the case to the Circuit Court. The court held that it had no jurisdiction. The case was then taken up in the county court and an order for the re- moval of the records were denied. The case was heard today ill the county court for the second time.
 As soon as Judge Dunn announced his decision a temporary restraining order was filed in the court and an ap- peal to the Circuit was taken.

, United States Circuit Court. this morn- ing suit was filed by Jerome B. York and Robert York against the Cotton Belt Savings & Trust Company of Pine Bluff and Charles J. Samstag Of St. Louis, in which the plaintiffs endeaVor to get possession of 374 shares of stock in the Bluff City Lum- Der Company, which they allege is due the1fh,,.
 The plaintiffs allege that on August 23, 1905, they entered into contract with Samstag for the purpose of 374 shares of stock he owned in the Bluff City Lumber Company, for which they were to pay s149,OoO in four annual payments. Of this s5,OO0 was to be paid at the end of the first year with out interest; $25.00 in two years with out interest; S50,0OO in three years with interest from date of per cent; and S69,000 at the end of four years With interest at 6 per cent from date.
 After the deal was made the plain tiffs allege the shares were reissued. 200 to Robert York and 174 to Jerome B. York
 According to the agreement at the time of the sale, the plaintiffs allege, Samstas was to stand the loss on his proportion of the stock just the same as he owned it for the accounts not collected. as we'll as the expenses of an effort to collect them, and to allow the credit on the next payment to be made. If an error was made and an account entered as being uncollecta- ble, and it was afterwards collected, Samstag was to get the portion he had allowed to Yorks on their purchase price, refunded. On the other hand, the agreement bounl the Works to pay SamstaS all profits on the stock until it was paid for, in excess of 10 per cent.
 The plaintiffs claim the stock cer- tificate was to be placed in the Cotton Belt Savings & Trust Company bank to remain there until the terms of the agreement had been complied with, the Works putting in an additional 100 shares to guarantee they would make prompt settlements with Samstag.
 Under the agreement, the Yorks claim. they have paid into the bank an excess of $77S.76 and the bank re- fuses to give up the stock, acting un- der orders of Samstag, who claims the Yorks have failed to fully pay for it.
 The Yorks claim they paid in s1,000 August 23, 1906; S24,791.62 August 23, 1907; $50000 August g. 1908, and $35,000 June 12, 1909. They claim a credit of s4,2OS.3S was allowed in 1907
 They also allege under the agree ment Samstag was to pay 1S.7 per cent of the losses of the concern on bad accounts during the time the stock was being paid for, which was the proportion of the entire stock owned by him. As the uncollectable accounts were $260, 196.79, the plain tiffs claim they should be allowed credit of $20,943.20 and the same per- centage of $5,0O0 attorneys fees, being $935, which would more than pay the balance on the stock
 The plaintiffs state that they are residents of Tennessee and have right to bring the suit in Federal Court, and if they are mistaken in their accounting make tender in
