 MT. Beal's bid for the Sweet Nilli- nery stock was s2S2.50. The stock invoiced only S1,360 Charles Veil, Louis Sachs of Jonesboro, and oth- CTS made offers, but Mr. Beal made the final and highest bid. Receiver Conner stated that he was not sure that he had authority to sell the stock on that occasion, owing to the fact that he had just been named receiver and it might not be legal. He sold the stock, however, on condition that it was to be approved by the Federal court.
 The Wolf Nichols Dry Goods Com pany's stock invoiced $S,30S52 and the furniture and fixtures, which were included, invoiced $1,11441 Four shipments of goods, sent to the dry goods company by St. Louis and Chicago firms which had not been open ed, were not sold, but were claimed by representatives of the various firms and will be turned over to the creditors. Mir. Beal's bid was $4065 There were many other bidders, in- cluding a number of local merchants.
 The stock will be moved from tha building, it is said, as the Roth es- tate has leased the building to other parties. It is not known what dis stocks purchased

 Get Clemency for Boy
BROTHER DIED IN JAIL
Were the Young Men Who Entered and Robbed Office of liightower
 Commission Co.

After reading the sad story of the death of Smith Graham, 21 years old, who died in the Jefferson county iail in this city Wednesday noon while his brother, Claud Graham, 19 years of age and also q prisoner awaiting trial on a burglary charge, looked on, Rev. s. F. Full and several prominent church women of Pine Bluff interest," ed themselves in behalf of the grief stricken lad and secured Young Gra- hams release from the county prison and the charge against him has been dismissed Judge X. B. Grace order- ed the young man freed shortly be- fore the noon hour and last night the young man went to the undertaking parlors of the Holderness company and cried pitifully over the body of his more unfortunate brother.
 The article published in the Ora phlc was directly the cause of Young Graham release. As soon as Rev. Full and several kind ladies of this city read the account of the prisoners death they went about to secure the release of Claud Graham Rev. Tun visited the young man at the county Jail and was at once impressed with his statement that he was never in trouble before. Young Graham re- lated a sad story of how he and his brother. entered and robbed the office of the Hightower Commission Com. pany in this city, in an effort to se- cure enough Ecney to purchase food : or their being arrested later at Stamps, Ark, and being returned here for trial, finally waving exami- nation in Magistrate J. A. Frazier's court. At the time of Smith Gra- hams death he and his brother were being held in the county jail to await the action of the Jefferson county grand jury. They were placed in the county jail December 22 and have been incarcerated continuously until death released Smith Graham Monday and until Judge Grace came to the aid of the other brother yesterday.
 After visiting the undertaking par lors last night to view the body of his brother, Claud Graham called at the Graphic office and thanked the paper for aiding him to secure his freedom. He said it would result in making a man of himself He regrets his sad experience and declares that he and his brother were never in trouble before their recent arrest in this state. Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. c. F. Graham, live at Winona, Mo-, T. A. Smith, of Whitehall, H., wired the Holderness company to hold the body of Young Graham until his letter is received. Captain Smith is reputed to be among the wealthiest residents of Whitehall and is distantly related to the Graham family. Claud Graham was enthusias- tic in his praise of Jailer Jack Hol- land and his wife, whom, Graham says, cared for them and treated he and his brother we'll while in prison.
