 In reality, all in all, summing this selling out Bankrupt Sale it is a mar vel and there can be only one ques- tion to ask: What is the reason-the low prices must be thereif not the people wouldn't continue to flock back for more

 Without unnecessary eXaggeration bringer of anything ever known in Pine Bluff People who have lived in Pine Bluff all their life are frequent ly heard to say. These crowds beat anything 1 ever saw before."
 Crowds are seen packing the place from the time the doors open every day up to the last closing min ute. The front of the building is covered with a large banner stating in bold letters that the United, States District court sold the stock to Max Heiman of Little Rock and must be sold in 30 days.
 The windows are left open and in them are on display the merchandise, so that the people can see the gen. uine bonafide bargains-15c Arrow collars are shown for Sc.

 Merchants from all the surrounding cities are coming in to see this Bank rupt Sale. They say they heard of the great crowds and are coming in to view the activity of the handling of the trade for the sake of experience.
 Adam Goldman, who is given all the credit for having so successfully brought about this sale, is now con- ceded by every one as wonder. Yet, he goes around about his work uncon- cerned, and says he brings these crowds to every sale he inaugurates.
 This stock is selling fast and within 90 days time the whole stock will be closed out.
 Since the opening from good auth ority we learn that over $l6,00O worth of merchandise was sold and closed t., Saturday night.
 More summer goods will be put out in special lots this week. Straw hats, summer shirts. low quarter shoes and other summer goods and crowds from all over Arkansas are expected to continue to crowd this Big Bank rupt sale into Pine Bluff all of this week.

Wantod-A Rain Maker

For tho pcs. woek or ten davs the
eyes of our farmer friends have been
scanning the skies with more or less
hope Of discovering indications Of a
cloud burst, but the local rains seem
to have been lodging around US and
# the soil IN Grant county was not
peculiarly constituted to withstand
drouth there would be little prospect
Of a crop of small grain. AS it is the
fields will need some rain pretty soon
to insure a yield Of any kind Prom
lses Of rain have been coming in evil
dence for several days past, and we
are likely to get the much needed wet
ting at any time. Some Of our more
pessimistlc people declare that the
small grain has been badly damaged
already. but there are other people
who assert that with moisture within
few days much of the grain would
show up to good advantage. though a
full crop will be impossible even un-
der most favorable conditions. One
OF the interesting points in connection
with the weather and crop prospect
is that corn is showing up beautifully,
and seems to have been having lust
the weather it needed to make crop.
Perhaps there is suggestion in this
fact that may help US in the future,
when we are tempted to put all our
energies and take all our chances on
wheat crop.

Shooting ARRAY
garian Laborers EMPLOYED on the
Railroad Grading Work

A little after 10 O'Clock Satur.
day evening last Policeman Sut-
cliffe and Night Marshal Claud
Derrick were notified that one Of
the track labores who are housed
in the cars on the y track had
been shot by a young negro. DR..
Ferguson was summoned to the
assistance of the wounded man
and Immediately located the bull
let and extracted it. The bullet,
a 32 calliber from Colts auto
matte revolver, had passed near
ly through the back part of the
body just below the shoulders,
and lodged in the flesh just be-
low the shoulder, before passing
through. The doctor dressed
the wound and the manis getting
along nicely, with good prospects
of coming out of his difficulty
with no serious result. His
name is Pete Andre. He is
about IS years of age and has a
wife in Macedonia, his old coun-
try home.
Policeman Derrick, on being
notified Of the shooting started
for the boarding car, and upon
arriving there was told that a
young negro had been there and
demanded liquor, and upon be
ing refused he started to 60
away, but after going a short
distance turned and fired a re-
volYer at the car ten or twelve
times, one of the first shots
piercing Andre as described.
Derrick learned the direction in
which the negro ran after the
shooting, and with Henry Reeve
started in pursuit. and at the
railroad bridge over the dam
found the man lying on one Of
the cross pieces, with a 80 Colt s
automatic revolver strapped
about him, and on which he had
his hand on whe n
Derrick fell upon him and Reeve
toolsiA e gun from him, and be
was landed in the county Jail.
The negro, who is said to have
done the shooting gives hisname
as James Hill, and is step
son Of the older negro man Hunt
er who has been working with
another gang Of section men, and
who with his wife lives in one of
the boarding cars in the round
house yards. The old people are
quiet, industrious folks, and dur
ing the several months they have
been here they have been entire
lV free from any wrong doing.
The old aunty left a short time
ago to visit friends, and we un-
derstand that threats coming to
the ears of Hunter that he would
be mobbed if the man who was
shot should die, he also left
the country, the tirstof the week.
The young fellow who did the
shooting has not been around
here much, and during last wint-
er was employed in a hotel at
Mankato, and had been here but
a short time when the trou BILE oc-
Cured.
He was brought before Justice
Bleser yesterday morning, but
in order that the improvement
Of the wounded man might be
made certainty before the
charge against him was entered,
the hearing was postponed to
Saturday morning at 8 o'clock at
the court house.
