 About as brutal a piece off business as ever came under our observation was perpetrat ed at this place last week by Frank Adams, proprietor of a snlde circus. In crossing the Illinois river after dark wag on was upset and J. WI Funk, the driver had . leg broken. The injured man was allowed to lie in h. rain and mud for two or three hours ana was then brought to town by the show people. and Adams dump ed him into q vacant shed at Bollln < Lotilin's shop few shncks doing duty as bed. The rain poured in upon the helpless sufferer, but no further attention was paid 10 him by his companions or employer. Adams refused to supply Funk with food because the latter had broken his wag on. Next day the matter was brought to the attention of our citizens, who moved the m fortunate man to the rear loom Of the old Banner office, furnish ed comfortable bedding and provided suitable food. Much indignation was expressed at Adams inhuman treatment of his employe, and for a time there was a pretty strong in clination to handle him rough ly. Fearing the consequences of the i'll feeling his brutality had aroused. Adams finally gave the man five dollars. which the latter claimed was not fair return for wages due him. Funk was taken to a hospital at Fort Smith. The alleged show left without offer ing an exhibition. Adams showed himself to be entirely destitute of human kindness. and we hope the press of the state will pass him around as a creature utterly worthy of patronage. Prairie Grove Record.
