ASSAULTED CAPT.’JOYCE.
Capt. W. A. Joyce recently em
ployed William Cox of Little Rock
as a prescription clerk at the store
stipulating in the contract he should
remain for a month, and then if satis
fied, to accept the position perman
ently.
On Saturday, Cox gave Capt. Joyce
notice that he desired to leave at
once to accept a better salaried offer,
but the latter refused to relinquish
him without a completion of the
month’s service. Cox then brought
suit for his salary for that part of the
month alleged to be due and the case
was tried by a jury in Justice Robin
son’s court Thursday morning. That
body returned a verdict in the de
f rl n t-i f 1 n f n irrw
Late in the afternoon of that day,
Cox entered the store of Cfipt. Joyce
and finding the latter alone in the
rear, proceeded to .demand his money.
Upon being refused, Capt. Joyce
states that Cox rushed upon him
striking him two blows, one behind
the ear, which produced a large bump.
The captain fell and Cox upon him.
A hand to hand conflict ensued, which
was interrupted by the arrival of
Frank Gullett upon the scene, who
pulled Cox from Captain Joyce. The
former then made his escape over the
rear fence, leaving his hat behind and
has not been seen since.
A warrant was sworn out for the
arrest of Cox, officers meeting the
night trains, but no information has
been secured as to his whereabouts or
manner of escape. Capt. Joyce is de
termined that his assailant shall be
procecuted and thinks that he will
eventually locate him in Little Rock.

The pay train, when coming down
the branch from Batesville about
eight o’clock Friday morning, ran in

Newark. Thomiin and his iwo little
sons were occupants of the wagon, all
being seriously hurt, while one of the
children is fatally injured, the little
fellow’s skull being crushed.
The wagon was completely demol
ished and the team killed outright.
Whose carelessness is to blame for
the awful accident is not known.
