BOOM OF TIES BROKEN BY FLOOD.
Judsonia, Dec. 15.—The boom across
Little Red river, a line of connected
floating timbers across the stream ter
keep saw logs from floating away, one
half mile from the railroad steel bridge
at Judsonia, broke at 2 o’clock this
morning with 20,000 ties and a large
amount of driftwood, all of which
moved down the river rapidly and
lodged against the center pier of the
bridge. It looked for a while like the
bridge would go, but a gang of men
was set to work and the mass of stuff,
which had accumulated forty or fifty
feet deep and entirely across the riv
er, was cut away and the bridge
cleared.
The rain fell in torrents all night
and the river is rising rapidly and the
indications are for a record breaker
in high water.
The Iron Mountain track was over
flowed and washed out two miles
north of Judsonia this morning.
Trains were delayed in consequence.
Water is reported to be running over
the tracks just south of H'gginson and
also a mile north of Holland.

Hot Springs, Dec. 15.—Judge George
B. Sidener of the First district of St.

trial, is trying to prevent his client
from being carried back to Indiana.

Kid, who, it is said, was “done” by the
footracers for $63,500, is here with
Sheriff Cassidy of Bowen county,
Indiana, and they are trvine to take
Ryan to the Hoosier state for trial.
Ryan fears that if taken back to
Indiana he will be dealt with severely
outside the pale of law, and wired for
Siden^r to come at once and defend
him, offering the St. Louis judge the
privilege of naming his own fee.
Ryan will be either released or held
under bond here tomorrow and then
the battle for his presence in Indiana
will begin.

Ark., is in Washington for the pur

LITTLE ANNA.
[Published By Request.]
Oh! who is the joy of a mother’s
heart?
Anna, dear little Auna;
Who’s sweet and dainty, gentle and
smart?
Anna, good little Anna;
Who’s like a ray of golden light?
Anna, our own pretty Anna;
Who’s voice is music? Who’s foot
step light?
Anna, sunny haired Anna.
Who dances Dixie to cheer us all?
Anna, rosy-cneeked Anna;
And only smiles when she getsa fall?
Anna our graceful Anna;
Who sings a song in her baby way?
Anna, sweet tireless Anna;
Who opens her eyes at the peep
o’ day?
Anna, fair, grey-eyed Anna.
And when we’re tired, who rests
each one?
Anna, bright, soothing Anna;
Who makes the night short when
the day is done?
Anna gay, laughing Anna;
Who wins every heart in her inno
cent way?
Anna capricious Anna;
And leads them, captured, away to
Play;
Anna, wise little Anna.
When childhood flies, and our baby
is gone,
When we have no little Anna,
May the future life be happy and
long,
Of Anna our grown up Anna.
May she still be our pride, our own
sweet girl,
Like the winsome baby Anna,
Who wore her hair in a bonny curl,
Our noble lady Anna.
—To little Anna from cousin Emma
M. Bateman.
BIRTHDAY BANQUET.
Mrs. and Mrs. H. Bernsteiii gave a
very enjoyable banquet Monday eve
ning at the Hotel Hazel to a small
number of invited guests, the affair
being in compliment to Mr. J. M.
Berger, Jr., whose twenty third birth
day, it celebrated.
The banquet had been nicely ar
ranged and was richly enjoyed by all
present, especially the young gentle
man to whose long life and prosperity,
many toasts were offered.
The menu served in courses was, as
follows: blue points; turkey, lobster,
chicken and lobster salad, olives,
pickles and celery, Saratoga chipB,
tomatoes en mayonaise; salted
nuts; assorted cake and fruits; colfee,
cigars, Mumm’s Extra Dry and wines.

REPORTS OF HEAVY RAINS.
The rainfalls at Fayetteville and
Batesville were 2.75 and 2.88 inches
respectively. That section of country
drained by Black and Current rivers
also reports equally heavy rainfalls.
White River on Tuesday morning
stood 20.3 feet by the guage and the
danger point of 26 feet will probably
be reached by Wednesday night.
Capt. Joyce while at Batesville Mon
day afternoon, received a report from
Penter’s Bluff of a thirty foot rise, but
does not give the same much cred
ence.
Black River rose 2 1-2 feet at Elgin,
Monday night, a most remarkable rise
in the opinion of Capt. Joyce, who
says that the farmers in the bottom
land should be warned to watch their
Btock.
The freeze of Monday night has un
doubtedly accomplished a great deal
in holding back the water and pre
venting a serious overflow, but even
with this favorable condition, high
water threatens much injury to crops
and stock in the bottom country.
slightTnJURIES RECEIVED.
Three negroes were hurt Monday at
the Southern Cotton Oil Mill by the
falling of sacks in the meal room,
which had been stacked about fifteen
feet high.
Monday night, three others were
hurt in the same way, Jno. Burns,
Steve Fortenberry and George Wash
ington. George Vance another negro
was injured by sticking a seed fork
into one of his limbs.
