International News Special

international News Special
 New York, March 10.-Because of the transfer and the inheritance tax law in this and other states, t is be- lieved that at least $15,000,000 of the estate of the late Edward H. Harri- man will be diverted from the pur- poses Mr Hartman specified for its used in his VII. It was learned to- day that the Harrimans have already paid out over $2,0OO. 900 in inheritance taxes and all the claimants are not yet settled with.
 It was learned today that the state officials of Utah have forwarded to New Yc-l, for collection a check for nearly [ m llion. Of the Union Paci- fic Mir. Hartman owned 55.0O0 shares of common shares and $500 shares of preferred stock, the whole being worth about $15,9S0.937.

sanitary department in places where
 "clean up'' work was needed and the downtown streets are filthy and in. stead of keep Ing the gutters clean the city officials, whose duty it is to dc so, have permitted filth of all kinds to accumulate in them,
 The ladies and men behind the City Beautiful Club cannot accomplish it's proposed good work unl less they have the hearty cooperation of every property owner in Pine Bluff Not only the property owners, but those who rent them. Every person who occupies home should appoint him. self a committee of one to see that their place is kept clean and attrac- tive. The summer season of hot weather is approaching. To keep the c,ty clean means healthful city and when your yard is kept clean your home will be free of disease.
 The Graphic originated the idea or a City Beautiful Club some years ago and was largely responsible for it's on. It is glad to see it revived and, as in the past, this pa per will do all within it's power to make the ''clean up' campaign plan ned by the newly organized City Beautiful Club huge success. Now for good work

Chamberlain People who have
been living on lands in the west
ern part of the state and have proved
up and returned to their homes in this
section of the state, are commencing
to have trouble now mat they have
left their lands. In half dozen cases
protests have been filed at the land
office at Rapid City on land which
has been proved up. The owners
ha e been notified by the land Office
that they will have to return to their
land at once. and follow certain re-
quirements in furthering their proof.
In each instance those persons who
have proved up have had their money
returned by the land Office with tho
command to return to their claims
The owners are at loss to know
the cause. nor are they able to ascer-
tain who IL making the protest. In
several Of the cases only the wives
completed the residence on the land.
and It is understood that the real
head of the house will have to live
on the land also.

SUSPECT FIRES lNCENDiARY
Brookings Has Three Fires in Same
Locality That Look Queer


Locality That Look Queer
Brookings-A frebug is suspected to
be operating in this city, as three fires
within two days, all apparently of in
cendiary origin indicate. The first fire
was in new dwelling under construc-
ton by Louis johnson for L. v. Mccoy.
The flames had good start when dis
covered, and the building was badly
damaged. The loss will fall on the
contractor The next blaze was the
barn of H. c. Johnson, which was
Quilted by the flames, but the walls
we're saved. The third mysterious
fire was at the home of e. H. Gooch,
where 1t broke out in some sheds adj
joining the barn. The sheds and barn
were destroyed and the house was saw
ed with difficulty. Three horses, one
of them being Joe Mix, a PAGER of
some note, persisted in the burning
barn. An automobile and much other
valuable property was also burned.
The three fires were in the same part
of town. Guards have been placed in
the neighborhood in the hope Of cap
turing the firebug II he resumes his
work,

Presho-While William Crane and
wife, who live south of here were away
from home for a half day, their house
and all its contents were burned to
the ground. A servant girl and their
little daughter were left alone at the
house, and the former lay down to

awoke the fire had gained great head

smoke. She hunted the house over
for the child and finally found her
hid in a remote part. She had to
drag the little one unconscious from
the house, being herself so weak that
she could walk only with difficulty.
There was no insurance.
