SOME CLASS TO
 JUDGE RATTfRRFF HAS COUNT AS CHAUFFEUR VON BUELOW, FORMER GER MAN OFFICER, IN MENIAL
 POSITION.

Little Rock, August 5.-Some class to E. R. Ratterree, local real estate dealer and secretary of the Arkansas Land Congress. He has a real live count for an auto driver. Count Von Buelow, the real thing in Germany but down and out in America, is doing the drudgery about the offices of Rat terree & Son. Von Buelow, formerly lieutenant in the Germany navy, later a petty officer in the American
 navy, reached the stage of coachman for wealthy widow in Denver, Mrs. Hummer, and became her husband. He then led the seeker for titled hus- band such merry chase she was forced to the divorce court. Von Bue- low has just been liberated from the city jail, through the assistance of To- cal Germans, and vows he will bring $2,000 suit against the city for as- sault upon him by a policeman. All he wants now is for Governor Dona- ghey, whom he claims to have met in a

WONDERFUL RISE
 IN REALTY VALUES
LITTLE ROCK PROPERTY
SHOWS REMARKABLEI INCREAS. ES WITHIN THE PAST
 FEW YEARS.

Little Rock, August 4.-If Chester Ashley and some of the pioneer resi- dents of Little Rock could come back today they would look with great won- der at the value of property they dis posed of year sago for what they con- sidere da large consideration, but which is now considered a mere song. Ratterree & Sons, local agents ,who have placed a new addition upon the market, we'll out in the suburbs, paid a few days ago S17,875 for the 32 acres, which Maggie Paschal in 1904 sold for $1,000. In securing the ab- stract for this property the abstract CTS discovered the great increase in Little Rock property. In 1885 Ches- ter Ashley sold two lots at Markham and Louisiana streets for s39O, which are now rated at $100,000.
 The same citizen in 1847, having ac- quired the habit of giving away his property, sold to Benjamin Pattie a lot near the corner of Fifth and Main for $500, which is now worth $100,000. In 1877 M. Kirst bought the lot on the corner of Ninth and Main, now occupied by the Kirst store, for $500. It is now worth $60,000.
 As late as 1880, the land in the vii cinity of Twenty-third and Arch streels was acreage property, saleable at from S25 to $40 per acre. Now it is worth $3,000 per lot, or $15,000 per acre. The hills west of Little Rock was worth little, even in 1890, and the records show some sold at that time for $2 per acre. Lots there now are selling from $2OO up. There was land still further out, and a bit steep CT, which was sold in 1900 for $1.25 per acre. It is now bringing $100 a | lot.
 The old records show many other stories equally as amusing, but which would be a tragedy to the former owners if they could see the difference | a few years have made.

WITNESS IN MURDER
 CASE ARRESTED HERE
JOE DAVENPORT WANTED TO TESTIFY AGAINST BROTHER
 WHO KILLED FATHER.

Joe Davenport, arrested in Walker township Wednesday, is wanted more as a witness in murder case against his brother who is charged with kill ing their father, than on the nisde- meanor charge upon which he was taken in custody, according to Deputy Sheriff A. C.. Flippen of Yellville, Marion county, who arrived here to take charge of Davenport today. The prisoner has been indicted on charges Of carrying a pistol and giving liquor to minors, but the principal reason the officers have made such strenuous ef- forts to locate him for many months is that he is wanted by the prosecu- ton to be used as a witness against his brother, Russell Davenport, who shot and killed their father, Thomas Davenport, in Marion county, in Feb- ruary, 1910. The killing, MT. Flip pen states, was the result of family troubles, the elder Davenport and his wife having separated and the two sons having taken the part of their mother. The man accused of the kill ing was indicted for murder in the first degree, but after one mistrial he was admitted to bail in the sum of $10,000. Joe Davenport, who was ar rested in this county by Constable Gilmore this week, is said to be con. sidered an important witness for the state, but has eluded the officers untiI he was taken into custody by the Faulkner county official. Mir. Flipper and his prisoner will leave for Yell vile tonight.
