COX’S murderer'
LYNCHED AT BRINKLEY.
Citizens Avenge Death of Officer—
Prisoner Made Terrible Fight For
His Life—First Shot Then Hung.
Brinkley Nov. 8.—For the first time
in the history of Brinkley Judge
Lynch held a bloody session last night
Zallie C. Cadle, the assasin of Police
man J. C. Cox, being the victim. Mr.
Cox died .shortly after 10 o’clock last
night, from the effects of the gash cut
in his neck by Cadle about 5 o’clock
yesterday afternoon.
From the best evidence obtainable
a squad of five to ten men visited the
calaboose between 12 and 2 o’clock
last night, forced open the outer door,
broke the cell lock and speedily
wreaked bloody vengeance upon the
victim.
SIMONS ESCAPED.
Charlie Simons, who was locked up
in the cell next to Cadle for complici
ty in assailing Policeman Cox, says he
was awakened in the night by the
electric lights being turned out and by
the noise of footsteps in the prison.
He at first thought the marshal was
bringing in another prisoner, but
presently heard them ask his fellow
prisoner, Cadle, how he felt. He said
they seemed to have no trouble in
opening the cell door and a scuffle en
sued. men ne nearu a voice say,
“Stand back I am going to shoot.”
Immediately three or four shots were
fired. Then he thought a scuffle oc
curred inside of the prison and more
shots were fired. Then the party
left the prison and he (Simons) hearc
one or two shots on the outside,
which was all he knew.
BROKE AWAY FROM CAPTORS.
Other evidence seems to show thai
the victim broke away from his cap
tors just outside of the prison and rar
through the front gate of a house jusl
across the street from the prison or
the west side and on to the back o!
of the garden about 600 feet, where he
was overtaken and killed by his cap
tors.
A man living in the house, bearing
shots fired and the noise of tramping
feet, got up and saw four or five mer
running through the yard and im
mediately heard four shots fired bach
of the garden, where clots of blood
other evidences of a scuffle and the
victim’s hat were seen tills morning
From this spot the mob carriec
their man about 200 feet east anc
swung him to a telegraph pole neai
the prison.
Coroner W. W. Chinault impanelec
a jury this morning and they renderet
a verdict to the effect that Cadh
came to his death at the hands of par
ties unknown, and that he was after
ward hanged.

' RESOLUTION OFFERED
TO CONDEMN DAVIS
Clarksville, Nov. 8.—The Cumber
land Presbyterian synod of Arkansa
= last night, being under the manage
ment of the Ladies’ Missionary societj
was very largely attended by ladie
from all parts of the state, as well a
F others, and a «ery interesting pro
3 gram was rendered, including recita
} tions by the children of the Sunda
1 school and speeches by the leadin
3 ing missionary ladies of the state, th
. most interesting of which was deliv
ered by Mrs. Walker of Bentonville
corresponding secretary of the sc
ciety, stating that this had been one
of the most successful years since its
organization.
During the business meeting of the
synod a resolution was introduced by
Rev. J. J. Tartlon of Lockesburg to
condemn Gov. Davis. From all over
the house could be heard seconds to
the motion, but the motion was over
ruled on the ground that there should
be no politics in the meeting. The
matter will be called up again.
DAVIS’ FORMER FRIENDS
WELCOME JUDGE WOOD.
Harrison, Nov. 7.—The candidates
for governor spoke here today to an
audience of about 1,500. The weather
was fine. Judge Wood waB met at the
station by a large and enthusiastic
delegation, many of whom were for
merly friends and supporters of Gov.
Davis.
Gov. Davis opened with a speech of
an hour and a half, along his usual
lines, but failed to arouse much enthu
siasm.
Mr. Vandeventer followed in a vig
orous arraignment of the governor
and met with generous applause.
Judge Wood closed the debate with
a dignified but forceful speech. Wood
buttons were in evidence everywhere.
DE VALL’S BLUFF
POSTOFFICE ROBBED.
De Vail’s Bluff, Nov. 8.—The post
office at this place was robbed Friday
night, but only about $5 was secured
in money, and no stamps were taken.
Another attempt was made to gain
entrance in a store, but failed, a bro
ken file being found in the lock. There
is no clue to the parties.
WALLACE’S CIRCUS
There is no gainsaying
the Wallace circus is on th<
of the tidal wave of p
be overcrowded and turn a
dreds and thousands of
frequent occurrence.
The Dayton (O.) Journal
Wallace shows visited
day for the second time in
and to say that it was as good
year ago is giving it well
praise, but the truth of the
that it was better than last
those who attended either
ance were highly entertained.
“The tent was filled at each
formance, despite the
rain, and a tent of much greater
Lig capacity could easily have
tilled. The crowd was
good natured and demonstrated
approval of the program as a
and the numerous features of the
, formance were given merited
plause.”
The date for the exhibition here
the great Wallace show is
November 16th.
MARKS RETIREMENT
OF EX-SENATOR JONES.
Little Rock, Nov. 9.—None of the
decisions rendered in the supreme
1 court Saturday morning were of any
particular interest, being for the most
part decisions upon controversies as
to facts.
The enrollment of Jas. K. Jones in
the supreme court of the state, how
ever, is interesting, as it marks the
passage of that prominent Arkansan
into private and professional life.

Pharmacy is a very different art from what it
s was a few years ago. It is a growing science, ,
and the druggist today who fills prescriptions
i must be UP-TO-DATE and his stock must be
likewise. New remedies and new methods
1 multiply. Many prescriptions present problems
which only A SKILLFUL PHARMACIST can
rightly solve. We are prepared to fill any pre
scription, no matter where or by whom written.
