AL. J. STEWART DIES AS RESULT
 OF PARALYSIS
Former Chief of Police Sue cumbs at Louisiana Re
 sort After Long Fight.

The body of Al J. Stewart, who died late Thursday night at Hot Wells, near Boyce, La, will arrive in Pine Bluff at 5:15 o'clock this morning, ac- companed by members of his family who were with him when the end came. Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
 Than Al Stewart there were few men in Pine Bluff more widely known or more popular He was born in North Carolina in 1860, but came to Arkansas in his early youth, establish ing his home in this city more than 25 years ago. He was for many years prominent and active in city and coun- ty politics, and has served several terms as constable for Vaugine town ship and as chief of police for the city of Pine Bluff.
 News of the death of MT. Stewart did not reach Pine Bluff until early yesterday morning. Although it was received with general sorrow and re- gret, it was not unexpected, as it has been known for several days that the end was near. Several days ago, immediate relatives were summoned to his bedside at the sanitarium at Hot w SlIS, WlICIC Hc Was taken aDOuC q week ago, in the hope that his con- dition might be benefited. With him at the end were Mrs. Stewart, her father, Gen. Thomas Green, and Mr. Stewards son-in-law, Leonard B. West. They will accompany the body home.
 Deceased leaves other relatives also, these being two daughters, Mrs. Viii Mara and Mrs. West, a son, Renwick Stewart, little grandson, Al J. Mara, and three younger brothers, J. Frank Stewart, chief of police of Pine Bluff and Dunk Stewart and Charles Stew art, planters of this county. MT. Stew art was member of Jacob Brump lodge, F. 6 A. M., and of the First Baptist church.
 Until early in the year, MT. Stewart had enjoyed excellent health, but he suffered stroke of paralysis April 4, last, since which time he has been virtually bedridden. Succeeding strokes only weakened him and added to the seriousness of his condition and nothing has benefited him, al though he has been taken to Hot Springs, Hot Wells, and other places for treatement.
