CHARGES AGAINST
 MADAME RT0N Clairvoyant is Said to Have "Stung' Many
 Here.
DELIGHTFUL TRIP WENT TO OKLAHOMA
Constable Frank Stewart Locates Her and She Requests Acquisition Pa.
 pers-Found in Altus, Ok.

Palmistry and clairvoyancy recent ly common as plain sewing in Pine Bluff, are two alleged sciences which ,are likely to receive quite setback among our citizens. Madam" E. Rion may consider herself big factor in making these arts unpop- ular here.
 For several days prior to May 23rd she read palms and interpreted the may mysteries of life at her apart ments, No. POP West Fifth avenue, and, it is alleged, that when she left many mourned her departure.
 Constable Frank Stewart became interested in the madame through the plaints of the mournful and a message received by Dunk w. Stew art from Frank Stewart, at Altus, Ok lahoma, is to the effect that Frank had arrested the madame and she had refused co come back without re- quisition papers.
 Before he could apply for the re- quisition papers Dunk Stewart re- eeived a message from Frank to the effect that Frank was on his way home It is believed that the clair yoyant has consented to come back to see her erstwhile friends waiving the formalities of requisition papers,
 '@Madame'' Ri on is alleged to have defrauded number of residents of this city, the most of whom are too modest to make their identity known, except to the officers. Barcus Adams colored, who is blacksmith on West Second avenue, claims that the clairvoyant has $125 of his good mon ey. Parcus was suffering domestic infelicity and wanted his wife to come back home. Knowing the pot ent influence of the "'long green Barcus says he readily met the mad ame's request that he bring $125 so she might dream over it for one night. Afterwards he was to get back the money and wear it next to his heart, and then Barcus wife would return to him. IL was another in- stance of .'Barcus is willin', but the flesh is weak It may be that Adams and the madame's opinions as to the length of nights varies. At the north pole the night is said to be six months long and about the time the Ri'on woman left we were having real cool weather. Anyhow, Adams says he is out $125 and he claims he has not seen the madame since he left the money with her.
 Another plaint comes from the keeper of a resort in the east part of town. The story is similar to Adams except a diamond ring plays the role instead of the roll of long green.
 Smaller amounts are alleged to have been taken from other people under similar circumstances.
