DEATH Of SEARS,

 CAusfOf SUIT II ! W 7sE N M n As@e*,se-sts
Insurance Company Sued by Widow of Man Whose
 Body Found Here.

About g o'clock en the, eve of last Thanksgiving. Edgar P. Sears. a travelling man, walked out of the lob by of the Jefferson hotel, presumably to go to the postoffice to mail a letter to his wife in Utah, That was the last time he was seen alive. His body wss found next morning under the cot ton platform in west BarraQue street, bullet hola through the hsad, pis- tol Tying near his right hand. Some loose change was near the body and . pocket of the clothing was turnsd out. None was ever found who could throw light upon the case, and the exact manner of how Sears came to his death has remained a mystery.
 Upon the dissolying of the cloud probably depends the outcome of a suit instituted in the Jefferson cir cult court yesterday by Mrs. Ella s. Sears against the Aetna Life Insur- ance company for $75O0. together with 6 per cent interest from March 15, 1915; 12 psr cent as damages and attorneys fees, claimed under act No. 115 of 1905, and all costs. Plaintiff basis her suit upon policy insuring the defendant against dsath by acci- dent. She states she is the bsnefici- afy under the policy and that Sears died in Pine Bluff on November %. 1914, as the result of a wound from a gun aor pistol in the hands of a per- son to plaintiff unknown"

 for City Identifying.

The ''home talent' carnival of the East Pine Bluff Civic league came to a close last night, and the scores Of women who conducted the affair, with the aid and co-operatlon of tneir husbands, sons, brothers and other menfolk. went home utterly fatigued but happy in the knowledge that a sum approximating $500 was earned through their effcrts. to be expended in the erection and operation of drinking fountains in the streets of the city.
 Although the first day was big success, yesterday was even greater in that respect. The crowds last evening and night were continuously large, and the affair was thoroughly enoyed by every man, woman anl child who attended. The minstrel show, the big feature of the carnival was packed and jammed at each of it's three performances, and proved a great success.
 Each of the tents and booths did Il big business, and especially were the refreshment booths well patronized, The hcme made pies, cakes, candies and bread appeared to make big hit with the crowds, who bought and ate with apparent reckless abandon. Con- fetti. horns, whistles and other noise making devices. toy ballaons, the bright lights, the music, the gay chat ter of the people. all combined to make the affair thoroughly delightful, and the women of the Civic league wera heartily congratulated last night upon the artistic and financial sue cess they had achieved.
