RISON Man SENDS
FIRST BALE 1916
COTTON TO CITY
I. E. Moore Sends $50
Pounds, Which Will Be
Auctioned Today.

Pine Bluffs first bale of 1916 cot
ton will be sold at auction this morn
ing at the Cotton exchange, and it IS
expected there will be a large num-
Der of buyers in attendance to proffer
their bids on the staple.
The bale was shipped by l. f. Moore
of Rison and arrived last night. The
cotton was reported as grading strict
middling, and the bale weights $50
pounds. 1t is stated the cotton was
picked on the Cleveland county farm.
Secretary E. B. Bloom of the cham
Der Of commerce has already made
arrangements for collecting the usual
bonus paid by Pine Bluff business men
to the person who brings the first bale
of new crop cotton into this city, and
it is expected the bonus today will
amount to a considerable sum.
Last year, Pine Bluff received it's
first bale on August 8, so the bale
which arrived last evening made its
appearance two days earlier than did
the first bale of the 1915 crop.
The bale to be sold here today is not
the first bale of Arkansas cotton to
be marketed this year, as bale was
shipped into Greenville, Miss, from a
point in far southeast Arkansas last
week, Mississippi getting the credit
which belongs by right to Arkansas.

SWTTCHMEN AGREE
UPON ARBITRATION

New York, Aug. 7.-George w.
Hanger Of the United States board of
mediation and Cancellation, announced
here today that as a result of Il con-
ference between representatives of
the Switchmen's Union of North
America and the railroads both sides

by arbitration.
The differences between the switch
men and the railroads are in no way
connected with those pending between
the four railroad brotherhoods of fire
men, engineers, conductors and train
men. The demands, presented last
March are, however, virtually the
same as those of the brotherhoods, an
eight-hour day and time and half for
overtime. Eastern and Middle West
roads are involved The members of
the union number 3O,0G0.
The question at issue will be set
tied by arbitration, Mr.. Hanger said,
under the Newlands act which re-
quires bard of six arbitrators, two to
be selected by each side and the re-
naming two to be chosen by the arbi-
traitors already selected or by the fed
eral board.

tackled by Black, VINO IL Routed
with PitChiork. and Later Shot by
Pursuing Posse.

Stuttgart, Aug. 7.-Several hundred
incensed citizens are tonight seeking
a negro, who was spirited away from
the Jail by the officers, after he had
been identified as the assailant of the
16-year-o daughter of Ernest Whit
man. a farmer residing eight miles
south of here.
The girl was in the hay field of her
fathers place this afternoon, when
the negro attempted to criminally as
sault her. The girl fought off the
brute, screaming for her mother, who
was nearby. When Mrs. Whitman
rushed to the girls assistance with a
pitchfork, the negro attempted to
make his escape.
Word Of the crime was telephoned
to the city, and in a few minutes men,
bearing pistols, rifles and shotguns,
were hurrying to the scene in a dozen
or more automobiles. The negro was
finally overtaken and overpowered but
not until he had been shot in the
hand, neck and back.
He was brought to the Jail here, but
owing to strong talk of lynching, the
officers quietly took the negro from
Jail, and conveyed him outside the
county.
