opened the cage and slammed it be hind him. 'Trilby" an old lioness, rolled on her back and struck at Dietrich playfully as he walked past her.
 Look out, boss" warned McCord
 Don't be a coward" returned Diet rich, "they are just playing. Just then there Was a yellor flash through the air and before McCord could shout out a warning, Teddy" a young lion, had thrown himself up on Dietrich and had knocked him across the cage.
 The lions claws slashed into Dietf, ,sh's shoulder and the blood was flowing when McCord sprang to. his feet and grabbed a pitch fork. Four other lions had joined Teddy" growly and flashing their tails along the side C the cage. Teddy" made arother spring toward the bleeding man, but the aged lioness jumped in front of Dietrich as, though to pro- tect him and swerved the angry lion to one side.
 Body Was Mutilated.
 Dietrich was trying to force his way.to the door of the cage, but was enough 4n the rush of the other lions and went down under the growing. clawing, biting, scratching mass. Old "Trilby" was pushed aside.
 McCord had grabbed a pitch fork, but the lack of room prevented it's use and he was unable to get the lions into the car.
 "With one last cry off, My God, get me out of here" Dietrich fell to the floor again as Teddy" hit him with his paw, a blow that McCord saw slashed open his chest from shoulder to shoulder.
 McCord ran from the car into the street shouting for help.
 Within a short time two wagon loads of policemen and the fire de- partmelt apparatus arrived on the scene.
 An effort was made to get the body but the lions refused to back away. Blows on the shouts from short sticks end clubs only brought angry snarls and blows stt the bars with paws. Finally McCord -ot hold of the belt that was around Dietrich's waist and 9 rore was tied to this. The body w"- ]'fted 10 tho top of the cage and held there while men kept the lions away with iron rods. which had been brought ih.
 The body-torn beyond recognition was taken to an undertaking room nearby.

NEW DEPARTMENT
 AT M. &. ?. BANK Directors of Oldest State Bank De tide to Establish Savings Branch. PLAN IMPROVEMENTS Officers Contemplate Merging New De- pertinent Into Trust and Savings
 Bank, With New Quarters
 at Old Location.
PLAN IMPROVEMENTS

The establishment of savings de- i partment and the election of D. l.. Franklin to fill vacancy on the board of directors were two important de- cisions made yesterday at the meeting Planters bank.
 MT. Franklin was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Charles Veil, who had served on the board for many years.
 The establishment of a savings de- partment has been contemplated, it is understood, by the officers of the bank for some time, but not until yesterday did the directors unanimously au- thoriZed the new department. Accord ing to the plan under consideration it is the purpose to merge the savings department into a trust and savings bank, which action will necessitate ad- ditional banking room space and eX- tensive improvements at the corner Of Barraque and Main streets, where for forty-four years the Merchants & Planters bank has been serving the people of Pine Bluff and Southeast Ar kansas. Just what the shape the na- ture of these improvements will take, the bank officials are not yet ready to divulge but it is understood that it will mean the outlay of considerable money.
 Oldest i'll State.
 The Merchants & Planters is the oldest state hank in Arkansas, it's charter being number 1. Another in dication of it's stability is found in the personnel of it's official corps and the length of time these men have been in the service of the institution. A quar- ter of a century is a very long time in these days, yet that is the average length of time that the officials of the M. & P. have been with the institution. Some have been greeting people at the bank for forty years; the youngest in point of service has twelve years to his credit. Considering these facts, it is not strange that men who have been patrons of the institutions since they were "kids" refer to the M. & P. as "The Bank of Steady Service" which is motto adopted by the bank.
 Considered from a financial view point there are few institutions stronger than the M. & F., with it's capital of $175,000, surplus of $175,- 900, and contingent fund of $30,000, making total of $3S0,000, which will stand behind the savings deposits as a protection. In other words, this en- tire $380,00O would have to be dissi- pated before any depositor of the M. & P. could lost one cent. Considering the record of the institution, and the careful management it's friends think this impossible.
 The officers and directors of the M. & P. are: s. c. Alexander, president; w. l.. Dewoody, vice president; A. D. Foster, cashier; June Ingram, Walker Jones, D. l.. Franklin and Will Col Her, directors.

LIONS KILL AND
 DEV0UR TRAINER
Old Liunness Seeks to Pro- tect Man But Is Pushed
 Aside.

Chicago, June 21.-Set upom by five angry half-famished lions, unarmed and with an aged lioness as his only protector. Emmerson D. Dietrich of Brooklyn, N. Y., a Cornell graduate and manager of a trained animal act, fought thrilling but futile battle for his llie in a box car in the yards of the Santa Fe this afternoon.
 Before aid could reach him Dietrich had practically been torn to bits by the infuriated lions, which crouched ever the bleeding body, refusing to permit it to be dragged from the cage until they had been forced away hv the fumes of formaldehyde. Nearly every bone ip Diet-ich's body had been broken and it had been gored beyond recognition by the beasts.
 While the lions were tearing Die trich's limbs, his fiances, real anl- nal trainer in charge of the beasts. was telling Cy de Vrv. head animal keeper at Line oln Park that her lions were the tan, in captivity and were rot dangerous. 4 telephone message informing her of the tragedy inter rupted her remarks to de Vry. s
 Aged LfOEess Protector.
 
 Dietrich was manager of the animal act called Mile. dgie's Parformins Lions" and was engaged to the lion tanner. They wera to be marrid at At lantic City, where they were to oper for performances next week. The lions, 10 in number. were il two cages placed inside box car This afternoon Dietrich went tn tte v;~ 1o l. Agie Tastillo, went to Lincoln Park to visit Cy de Vry.
 Dietrich found George McCord. al ! attendant, in charge of the car.
 "These fellows are pretty mean to l day with the weather" McCord says he remarked to Dietrich as the latter entered the car to water the beasts and clean the car.

HAVE YOU BOUGHT YOUR BALE?
Buy a bale of cotton.


1t is an obvious fact the there is
just as much money in the country
now IS before the war in Europe was
declared. The question confronting
the people just now is how to get il
into circulation again. We can think
of no better method than for every
person who is financially able TO buy
bale of cotton. Many of our citi-
zenS have done this. and we trUs.
their example will he emUlated by
others. II every person III 3amberG
county. who has enough surplus
money or savings TO buy one bale Of
cotton at ten cents pound. would
invest il in cotton, it would take OF
the market many hundreds OF bales.
put a good sum y! money into circu-
iation at time when il is most nee3-
ed, and help tide over the crisis with
the farmers and all others.
The "huy-a- a-bale-of-cotton' move
ment is no charity proposition but a
plain business investment. Every
body knows that cotton, even with
5000, ,0nG bale crop. is worth more
than ten cents pound. 1t is bound
to bring that sum. but, under the
present situation. the only way the
price can be forced TO what it is
worth is by keeping the staple off the
market. The farmers must have
money. and at the same time the cot
ton must not be thrown on the mar
ket at the mercy of spectators, who
will make millions when the price
rises. All cotton stored in the ware
houses is in sight" and has direct
influence in controlling the quotation.
But cotton bought at ten cents a
pound. and put away in a barn OF
back yard is not lin sight," and has
no significance in market quotations.
At least three or four million bales
of cotton should be bought at ten
cents under the "buy-a-bale-of-cot-
ton" plan, and bought with no en-
pectation of placing on the market
until the price reaches what the sta
pie is worth. Bamberg should join
in the movement heartily, and we
believe that she will. Some of our
citizens have set the example.
Who's next?
