Timely discovery of flames on a Cotton Belt trestle one and one-half miles this side of Humphrey yester- day by J. P. McNulty of Pine Bluff, saved the structure from destruction and probably prevented freight train from plunging from the tracks.
 The fire was burning briskly in the center of the 30O-foot trestle when MT. McNulty passed in his auto, re- turning from a bridge he is building over bayou near Humphrey.
 Negroes aided in extinguishing the flames and the trestle was only slightly damaged. McNulty reported the fire to the telegraph operator at Humphrey. Fifteen minutes later a freight train passed over the struct- ure.
