FIRE DESTROYS
 SIX NEGRO NUTS =. OUTSIDE LIMITS
Bremen Did Not Have Water With Which to Fight
 Flames

Six frame houses belonging to ne groes residing in the vicinity of Twelfth and Magnolia, were com pletely destroyed by fire this morn ing between 12 and 1 o'clock. Tn, houses were out of the city fire dis trict and firemen from Nos. 1 and 9 could do nothing more than tea, down sheds and fences in an attempt to prevent the further spread of the flames.
 The fire is said to have originated in the kitchen of a negro by the name of Jacks though the cause of its origination is unknown. From the home of Jacks, the flames spread to the west, setting fire to, and destroy ing five other buildings grouped near by. Some property was saved from the houses, but the exact amount of the damage is unestimat- ed.
 Area in which the fire did damage is outside the water zone, and though two departments of the city fire de- partment were on hand, they coulf not extinguish the flames. They worked as close to the flames as they could get, tearing down as much loose inflammable matter in the path of the flames as they could comfort ably reach, but this had little ef- feet, and the fire continued unti all of the group of houses in the area were destroyed.

 City; Hunt Man

An Oldsm0bile automobile, identi. fled by Clint Green as the car which was taken a few minutes after he left it in front of the Orpheo theatre shortly before noon one day last March, was found by a Lincoln county officer in barn near Star City Thursday. Information leading to the discovery of the car was acquired by Prosecuting Attorney E. w. Brockman who secured a search warrant from a Star City justice which was turned over to the officer who subsequently, located the car.
 The car had been nailed up in the barn, and so closely did it fit, il was necessary to tear off side ot the building to get the car out.
 After several months had passed during which the missing car was not located, it was given up as lost and the insurance company with which it was insured paid the amount of the policy. The car, which is now in a garage in Star City, will be de. livered to the insurance company.
 The man believed to have stolen the car has not been arrested. Dep. uty Sheriff J. L. McBurnett and Bry. an ick, of Pine Bluff, went to Stal City Thursday to assist in the search for the suspect.

This letter came from Buffalo and was sent by a lawyer who was believed to have been in the employ of prominent foreign concern"

COTTON BELT TO SPEND FIVE MORE MILLION DOLLARS Company to Improve Lines in Arkansas and
 Texas TO PURCHASE
 NEW ENGINES Extensive Improvements to be Made on Line Between Pine Bluff and Cam
 den

The St. Louis Southwestern rail. way company lines, the Cotton Belt has made plans to spend five million dollars in carrying out its plans tc improve transportation facilities, S M. Dickey, Pine Bluff commercial agent was informed yesterday.
 Improvements are to be made on the lines between Camden and Pine Bluff in Arkansas and btween Tex arkana and Mount Pleasant in Texas and include reballasting; installation of sidings; enlarging station and shop facilities; widening cuts, maintenance of roadbed repair and purchase O new equipment, MT. Dickey announc- ed.
 Part of the work is already under way and according to MT. Dickey is one of the most extensive betterment programs undertaken by any South western line.
 Unprecedented heavy freight traffic is being handled by the Cotton Belt and makes possible the extensive i'm provement plans, it was stated.
 Among the large items of expendi. lures are more than $1,OOO,OOO fol new rails and about $1 ,25O,0OO for new locomotives. The delivery of twen- ty-one large consolidation type en, zines has begun and power will con- tinue to be delivered until the entire let is in service. The unprecedented business being handled between St Louis, Memphis and Southwestern points made necessary additional mo- tive power. 1t is contemplated to spend $755,O0O in widening cuts and fills and filling in trestles, much o1 this being permanent work.
 To Improve Bridges
 The new ballast program calls fol expenditures of about $5OO,OO0. Bet terments to existing structures, sucl as bridges, trestles and culverts will involve an expenditure of approxi- mately $459,OO0, while placing addi- more than $3OO,O0O. Considerably more than $17O,OOO. considerably more than $17O,OOO will be used in making additions to and enlarging existing station facilities, water sta tions, shop buildings, etc. An out lay of $575,O00 has been assigned to improving the conditions of existing equipment and providing new freight cars, according to MT. Dickey.
 In addition large sums will be spent by the company on maintenance of roadbed, etc. Among the largest maintenance items is that of ballast contracts having been made for the delivery of about 75O,000 yords of washed gravel.
 Contracts have just been made fol 21,000 tons of steel rail at a cost O more than $1.0OO,000. This steel will be used in relaying 157 miles of track with heavier steel. Plans for the re- laying of about 94 miles of heavier rail during the year of 1920 have pro- gressed satisfactorily and much o1 this work will be completed on time The work now under way is between Mt. Pleasant and Texarkana, in Tex as, and between Camden and Pine Bluff in Arkansas.
 Much of the betterment program has to do with permanent roadbet improvement, such as bank-wideninf and drainage. Many thousands ot dollars will be spent in providing proper drainage, many miles of tile being placed to accomplish cros' draining.
