CHANGE DATES FOR
WILD CAT ROAD WORK

The committee named some time
ago to select dates and arrange de-
tails for building the new highway
between this city and Wildcat. met IN
the office Of County Judge c. NJ. Phil
pot yesterday morning and decided on
August %, %, "a, and Is, as suitable
dates for working on the road The
dates at first decided upon FOR build
Ing the road were for next week. but
owing to the high water in the river
and realizing that all interested par
ties could not be ready to work by
that time, a change in dates was
deemed necessary. At the present
high stage of the water It is not be-
lieved that the county's road working
machinery could be transferred across
the river.
The high water a few days ago pre-
vented the subcommittee, named to
go over the proposed route of the
highway, from making the trip across
the river The committee will leave
Monday for their trip over the pro-
posed new road

six years as a lineman, but who came
to Pine Bluff just two weeks ago, was
electroeuted On Cherry street between

tered his body. He fell thirty-five
feet to the ground and his neck was
broken. Death was instant
Mr., Gardner was on carriage rid
ing a cable and had a hand line,
pulling the cable through some pull
leys. In some manner one of his
feet touched wire of the primary
circuit which was charged with twen-
ty-three hundred volts of electricity.
When his foot came in contact with
the live wire a circuit was completed
with grounded messenger Sew
eral linemen and pedestrians who
witnessed the accident saw the body
culver in the air for about forty Sec
onds and then drop heavily to the
ground He fell upon his lead, break
ing his neck.
Robinson's ambulance was hurried
ly called, but it was seen that medi-
cal attention was useless. The body
was taken to the undertaking estab-
lishment His brother arrived from
Texarkana last night to take charge
of the body.

live at Stephens. Mr.. Gardner was a
single man.

CHAS. MILLER GETS CONTRACT
FROM CITY TO USE TEXAS
STREET As LANDING.
BIGGEST BOAT EYER
Barge Will Accommodate Eight Load
ed Wagons In Addition to
Passengers.

Charles A Miller yesterday signed
a contract with the city for the use OF
Texas street as a ferry landing and
will start his ferry on the Arkansas
river at this point on September I.
County Judge C. M. Philpot has grant
ed him a license to operate the ferry,
which will be one of the largest ev-
er put in the river at this place 1t
will not use the old rope power" but
will be operated with 100 horse pow
er on the stern wheel, assuring fer
ry service at all stages of the river.
Mr.. Miller already owns a large
gasoline boat and during the coming
week will construct large barge,
sixteen by seventy-siX feet, which will
be used every day. He says the barge
will accommodate eight loaded wag-
ons and then have plenty of room for
passengers.
With the completion of the road to
Wild Cat this ferry service ought to
encourage large amount of travel
to this city during the fall season and
be an inducement to farmers to bring
their cotton to Pine Bluff 1t has
been necessary for them to wait for
hours on the North side of the river
to be brought across, owing to the
lack of ferry facilities This will be
done away with, says Mr.. Miller, as
a round trip will be made every thir-
ty minutes. There will be no increase
in the ferry charges when the new
ferry is placed in operation.
