SENATOR CLARKE
ASSAULTS BRUNDIDGE.
Congressman And Senator Come To
Blows After Short Exchange Of
Compliments In Front Of Cap
ital Hotel Little Rock.
Little Rock, Ark., April 2.—United
States Senator James P. Clarke and
Congressman 8. Brundidge engaged
in a sensational fight on the sidewalk
in front of the Capital hotel this after
noon. Representative R. A. Crisp of
White county, who witnessed the
tight, gave the following details:
“1 had just come from dinner and
met Senator Clarke and others con
versing, when a few paces further I
met Congressman Brundidge coming
out with Jim Sanders of Newport.
Then I saw Clarke walk in front of
Mr. Brundidge and heard Mr. Brun
didge say: ‘How do you do, senator?’
(holding out his hand at the same
time) ‘glad to see you.’ 'Clarke re
plied: ‘I’ll not shake hands with
you.’ ‘All right,’ remarked Mr.
Brundidge indifferently.
“Then Clarke said: D—you, what
is this you have been doing? Being in
terviewed by the newspapers and
meddling with things that don’t con
cern you?’
“ ‘I am your friend, sir,’ responded
Mr. Brundidge, ‘and I have not said
anything that I would not have said
to you. I said I thought you had
made a mistake, and I say so now to
you.’
“ ‘I don’t want any of vour d—
friendship,’ retorted Clarke, ‘A1 j
right, you’ll not get it, then,’ answered
Mr. Brundidge.
“Clark then said: ‘You’re a d—
skunk,’ to which Brundidge replied,
‘You’re another damned skunk.’ Sen
ator Clarke then struck at Mr. Brun
didge, who returned the blow. 1
grabbed Clarke’s arm and Mr. Rem
bert caught Mr. Brundidge’s arm.
While we were attempting to separate
them, Clarke struck Brundidge over
the head three times, and Brundidge
struck him with his fist; also with hie
umbrella. The umbrella handle was
broken. At this juncture, the police
interfered and the pressure of the
crowd about the combatants prevent
ed further hostilities.”

An authorized and subscribed Capital is a convenient thing—
good thing for advertising purposes, but to be perfectly honest,
and tell our patrons the truth, it really counts for little. We
could have had, just as easily, a Subscribed Capital of
8500,000. It would not have cost us one cent more.
What our patrons are really interested in knowing is, this
Bank has invested in its business, of ITS OWN MONEY,
$58,000.00 OF CASH PAID IN CAPITAL and undivided
profits. That is the reason this Bank is prepared to take good
care of your business. And we assure you that MORE CAPI
TAL WILL BE PAID IN as soon as we believe it can be safely
