Absorbed in Watching Detec-

Sherlock Holmes and his exciting
adventures proved too much for U.
Kinderland, eighteen, a Cuban youth
who lives at the Hotel Ansonia, re-

of the third act the boy toppled in
his seat with an attack Of apoplexy
and had to be carried to the lobby
where he was revived. Later he was
removed to the hotel.
1t was at the most exciting mo-

occurred. Sherlock Holmes sticks his
cigar in a corner of the gas cellar and
eludes his captors by causing them to
watch the cigar while he escapes
through a door at the other side.
Kinderland had been observed
watching the play with intense eX-
citement, and when the climax came
and the detective knocked over a

SIX MILE STRETCH OF LITTLE

WILL BE IMPROVED.
22,C00 ACRES EMBRACED
Improved Road Will Connect With
"ooIarwsy" Pike in Jefferson coun-
ty and Will Provide a Good Road
Between the Two Cities.
Little Rock


That Pulaski county will pay half
the expense OF improving a six-mlle
stretch of the Little Rock-Pine Blum
highway in Perkins township, was
promised commissioners of the road
district in that township by County
Judge Joe Asher at a meeting in his
office The proposition is to be pre-
sented to property owners in the dis
trict and another meeting will be
held
The township was transferred from
Saline county to Pulaski county by
the last legislature. The road district,
formerly Road District No. Of Saline
county, embraces $4,000 acres. In
the district are several owners of
large tracts who favor the improve
ment and it is believed that the pro-
position will be accepted.
Judge Asher also offered the SER
vices of County Highway Engineer C..
G. Doyle to look after preliminary
work. 1t is estimated that the i'm
proment will cost $4,000.
The improved road would connect
with the "Dollarway" pike in Jeffer-
son county and provide a good road
from Little Rock to Pine Bluff. The
Little Rock end of the road is the
Sweet Home pike, recently renamed
the Confederate road.
