MILL FOREMAN KIRBY SE- RIOUSLY INJURED IN AT TACK OF BLACKS FOL- LOWING ROW WITH TEAM STER AT THE PULASKI HEIGHTS PLANT.
GANG PURSUED TO HILLS
Sheriff's Posse Close on Heels of Leaders-One Offender Over taken in Woods by J. R. Hughes-Culprits Fight With Rocks.

N. P. Kirby, mill foreman at the Blue Trap Rock Crusher, north of Pulaski Heights, was the innocent bictim of a vicious attack made by a gang of ne- groes on J. M. Murphy, a pit boss, at the plant Tuesday night. He is now at St. Vim cents Infirmary in serious condition from a fracture of the skull near the base of the brain.
 The trouble started in a dis pute between one of the negroes and a white teamster. The ne- gro was sent to another part of the work, and there he melted the othel negroes to make an att tack on the white bosses.
 About 10 o'clock a charge of rocks was hurled at Murphy, who quickly sought shelter at the mill. Foreman Kirby heard the disturbance and came out of the mill just Tn time to be hit by one of the rocks. He was taken unconscious to the hospital, and did not know why or how he was hit until told.
 Richard and Chester Bailey, two brothers, are believed to have been the leaders of the rioters, of which there were eight or ten. The gang fled af- ter throwing the rock toward the hills, and are believed to now be in hiding near Pinnacle. A sheriff's posse is close upon them. Robert Estes, one of the gang, was caught in the woods near the crusher by J. R. Hughes. He is not not believed to be one of those who threw the rocks.
 MT. Kirby is especially unfor- tunate at this time. He has a large familya and one of his sons is now sick in the hospital, while his daughter, Miss Viola Kirby, is quite i'll at their home in Forest Park.

PIERRE STANDS RIGHT ON HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION.

School Director c. P. Perrie opposes the proposed exchange of a block of school property at Seventeenth and Main streets for a tract of ground of similar size in West End Park, which has been suggested as a site for a new high school. MT. Perrie thinks that the Main street property is worth a great deal more than that in the West End, and he also thinks that by the time the city is ready for an- other high school, probably a better location would be avail able.

HOLMAN ACRES' SOON TO BE READY FOR THE
 MARKET.


 This new subdivision consists of 400 acres of a good grade of level upland, and is located seven and one-half miles almost due south from the city of Little Rock.
 This entire acreage was pur- chased by the Holman Real Es- tate Company about four years ago for subdivision purposes, but it was not until recently that the company decided to have it platted and put on the market. During the past thirty days the work of surveying and clearing out roads, etc, has been in course of progress.
 The property is in ten and twenty acre tracts, and is so plated that each and every tract faces a forty-foot county road. All roads are cleared and made suitable for automobile travel. Each tract also has boundary lines cut out, and all corners are plainly numbered, so that each individual piece can be easily located.
 This land is a splendid quality of sandy loam, with clay subsoil, no rocks, practically level, and just sloping enough to guaran- tee thorough drainage. The soil and location are especially suit able for all kinds of truck farm ing, fruit growing, dairying and poultry raising. The property is also convenient to school and church, with a good road leading to the city.
 The Holman Company intends to have this entire subdivision ready for the market by August 1, and will offer same for sale at prices ranging from $50 to $50 per acre, and on very easy monthly installments.
 During the past year this company has been successful in completely selling out several hundred acres of similar proper ty in ten-acre tracts. The strong demand found for small farms has prompted the opening up, at this time, of this new Holman Acres" Subdivision.

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS PAID FOR CHUNK OF SA-
 LINE COUNTY.

Judge Joe Asher on Wednes- day paid into the treasury of Sa- line county the sum of $5,000 in payment for Perkins township, the transfer of which from Sa- line to Pulaski county was au- thorized by an act of the leg.is- lature.
 This block of land, six miles square, is situated in the south east corner of the county, and it's acquisition by Pulaski county was desired for the quicker com pletion of the Little Rock-Pine Bluff pike. It was far removed from the seat of Saline county, and property owners in the township welcomed the change.
 According to the act, the money paid by Judge Asher must be credited by the treas urer of Saline county to the road and bridge fund, and it is expected that a major portion of this amount will be spent on the Military highway, or Little Rock and Hot Springs road, which runs through the county. Coun- ty Judge J. s. Abercrombie of Saline county has not said how the fund will be apportioned.
