Board of Trade Making Arrangements to Show Party Some Atten-
 ton Here.

President B. F. Bush, the new head of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain System will make his first visit to Pine Bluff today. He is coming into the city about noon over the Cot ton Belt road, from Paragould or Fair Oaks, and will go from Pine Bluff to Benton, leaving at about o'clock. Mir. Bush left St Louis yesterday morning with a party of friends and officials of the Iron Mountain for tour of inspection over the company's lines and while no official announcement was made here last night of his coming, news was received by the Graphic that the Bush party would probably remain ill this city for two hours.
 No schedule is at hand in the To- cal offices, but it is expected that 1t will be received here this morning to make previous arrangements for the handling of the Bush special .n and from this city. Mr. Bush is said l to be on a business trip strictly, but notwithstanding this fact Secretary 1 w. E. E.

OTHER CHARGES
 AGAINST CHISOLM MURDERER OF DROUILLARD NOW IN PRISON MAY BE TRIED
 FOR MURDER OF GIRL. WAS A HORRIBLE CRIME Several Women With Whom ChisOlm
 Was Familiar Have Not
 Been Accounted For.

San Francisco, July 26.-Dr. L. c. Chisolm, murderer of Van K. Drouil- lard, of Nashville, Tenn, will in all probability be dragged from Folsom penitentiary to stand trial on murder ing Miss Minna Passi, girl who left Sacramento with him three years ago and has never since been heard from.
 The skeleton found on Hog Back Trail of Mount Tamaltais more than year ago is thought to be that of the Passi girl. Information connecting Chisolm with this second murder is said to have been given by Blanche Powell, who posed as the wife of Drouillard, the latter known here as John D. Powell. According to offi- cials, Chisolm may be connected with other murders.
 It is known he has been intimate with sixteen women during the past few years and several of them have not been accounted for. The mur- der of Drouillard was most astro- cious. The murdered man was per- suaded to pose as John D. Powell, the name in which Chisolm had taken out a life insurance policy.
 Chisolm then induced Drouillard to accompany him to Sonoma county on the pretext of looking at some lands. Ten days later the mutilated body of Drouillard was found in a tent on the lonely Fort Ross road. A card bear ing Chisolm's name was found near by and it was evidence that led to his arrest.
 On the stand Chisolm confessed to the murder and pleaded self defense. He was sentenced to life imprison- ment. Chisolm first became acquaint- ed with Drouillard about fifteen years ago. Soon after Chisolm came to Cali fornia and was later followed by Drouillard.

and Allen Scott; one brother, R. L. Rutherford; three sisters, Mrs. Eutie Ellis, of Fayetteville; Mrs Julia Warren, of Pine Bluff, and Mrs. Phelix Clabberbaux, of New Browns vile, Texas, and his aged father, w. T. Rutherford, of Fayetteville, sur vive.
 John F. Rutherford was nearly 5 years old. H ewas born at Fayette- vile December 15, 1855 He started life with practically no funds and his rise in commercial circles was rapid. He was regarded as one of the best lumbermen and financiers in the South and his successful career here was characterized by a determi- nation to upbuild Pine Bluff and the state generally. He gave Pine Bluff it's electric street railway system. founded many local business con cerns and his every effort was suc- ceSsful in civic improvement. He was prominent in political circles in this state, having been at one time chairman of the State Democratic Committee. Up to few months ago he was trustee of the State Univer- sity. He was an Elk and Hoo Hoo ho 1yyo frio Ne a needy.
 Financiers looked upon John Ruth erford as a mental wonder. Notwith- standing his many interests he had a remarkable faculty for system, and bankers say that he had every little detail of his various concerns on the tip of his tongue. He was known throughout the South as an expert on timber and some years ago he and the late David H. Duncan made one million dollars profit in single tim- Der deal at Standard, La.
 Historical.
 John F. Rutherford was born in Washington County, Ark, near Fay etteville in 1859 and received the con- cluding portion of his education at the University of Arkansas, located at Fayetteville. Thus it will be seen that he was an Arkansas boy both by birth and education, and he was very proud of that fact. He lived in Fayetteville till he was twenty years of age and after leaving school he entered the employ of Reed & Ferguson, merch- ants of that place, his connection with that firm lasting several years.
 At the beginning of his business career MT. Rutherford had no thougat of entering the lumber field, and it was purely accidental that his atten- tion was drawn to the possibilities underlying the timber belt which lat CT he was to have so prominent part in developing. It all came about through the building by the St. Louis & San Francisco R. R. of an exten- sion of it's lines from Monett, Mo-, south through Arkansas. This line passes through a section rich in nat ural resources although no more so than the central and southern por- tions of the state with which MT. Rutherford later became identified. The contract for portion of the con- struction work of this line was taken by J. B. Scott & Sons, railroad con- tractors. and soon after active work began, MT. Rutherford became as- sociated with this firm. He helped build that part of the line from Fay etteville south tc Van Buren, Ark, his part of the work consisting prin- cipally in furnishing the bridge tin,- bers and heavy construction material which he cut from the native white oak which he found along the right of way. This was MT. Rutherford's first connection with the lumber business,

and Died from Injuries.

An inexpressibly sad accident oc-
CURED in this city Wednesday which
has since resulted in the death of the
little one-year-old child of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. E. Ball. The child was playing

its face and body. A physician was
summoned at once and everything pos
sible was done for it, but to no avail;
and after suffering great agony death
came as a relief at 10 o'clock last
might.
The little body was taken this
morning to Cooks Point Burleson
county, from which place the family
came to this city short time ago
and was tenderly laid to rest this aft
lernoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ball have the profound
sympathy of neighbors and friends IN
their very sad affliction.

SECRETARY HEWITT
On THE JOB AGAIN

Secretary L. NJ. Hewitt, of the Com
mercial Club, returned last night from
an extended tour in the North and
East. He is enthusiastic over the
proposition to run tourist train into
the Brazos Valley country in Septem-
ber. The train will be made up at
st. Louis September 19 and come di-
rect to some central point to be Sc
lected, either Hearen, Calvert or
Bryan. There will be one tourist car
from Wheeling and Pittsburg, one
from Chicago, one from Indianapolis
and one from Omaha and Kansas City.
Present indications are that there will
be over one hundred passengers.
Mr.. Hewitt reports indications for a
great immigration to Texas this fall
and winter. and the Brazos Valley
clubs will secure goodly share.
Mr.. Hewitt visited several cream
cries, canneries and home packing
houses. and will make an extensive
report on these. and on the proposed
plan for combination cold storage
creamery, canning and packing house
for Bryan, at the meeting Of the board
of directors Tuesday. The report will
be of interest to the entire county
and he invites the general public tc
attend the meeting. A creamery, can
merry and local packing house would
be of great benefit to the entire com
munity.
