More COnvicts To Levee.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April lit is
probable that $50 more convicts
from the State farm will today
be hurried to the Red Fork lev
ee, near Yoncapin. President
Buck of this levee district has
requested the use of the con-
victs to prevent a break in the
Arkansas river levee there. AS
this is near the mouth of the riv-
er, the pressure on the levee is
very great. The M. H. & l..
railroad is also washed out there
and the convicts will be used to
restore it to the point of re-
sumption of traffic if the con-
victs may be used in this case
of emergency.

ued at 100000. The act was

tate will pay to the state only a
small sum. This fact was dis
covered Thursday afternoon
when an official investigation
was made by the Governor and
Attorney General when their at
tention was called to the value
of the Richie estate.

MAIN LINE
TRAINS DETOURED
Via Pine Bluff And Cotton Belt
But Through Service Is
Promised Saturday.

Little Rock, April lie. J.
Pearson, first vice president of
the Missouri Pacifc-Iron Noun
tain lines, arrived in Little Rock
from Memphis yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Pearson and party of
engineers went direct to the
Fourche river bridge to view the
washout at that point.
That traffic to the Southwest
will be reOpened not later than
Saturday, is the opinion of local
officials. The water, four feet
deep, on the tracks at Fourche is
receding at the rate of one inch
per hour. The bridge is badly
damaged and extensive repair
work will be necessary before
trains can be run.
The bridge over Hurricane
creek near Benton is also badly
damaged and a washout between
Benton and Hot Springs has tied
up all traffic between Little Rock
and Hot Springs. Trains Nos.
II and IS are stalled at Benton
with 140 passengers.
All Iron Mountain trains to
Memphis are being run via Net
Teton and the Frisco lines.
Trains on the Valley division to
Pine Bluff are being detoured
over the lines Of the Cotton Belt.
Late yesterday afternoon G..
w. Dean, general superintendent
of the road, received a message
from Bridge Junction that the
water at that point is receding
and that at the present rate Of
! fall the track will be cleared
some time today. 1t is probable
that the Iron Mountain will re-
sumo traffic over it's line to Mem
phis before night.
A train for the West on the
Rock Island lines left Little Rock
yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
!; The train was detoured over the
Iron Mountain lines to Fort
Smith, then over the Frisco lines
| to Wister, where the Rock Is
land main line is crossed.
Passengers to Memphis over
the Rock Island are taken to
Wheatley and thence to Helena
over the Missouri and North Ar
kansas, thence to Memphis.
South of Haskell on the ROCK
Island no trouble has been re-
ported. 1t is the opinion of local

established on lines with the eX-
