which had been left with him for
repair. Brinkley came to Forrest
City few weeks ago and rented a
window at the Blanton building
with n. A. Brown. He boarded
ut tho Cook House for awhile and
then moved TO Mrs. w. FL. Paslay's.
About ten days ago he rented one

there with handsome stock, con-

Brinkley had handsome sign
painted on the front window in
gold letters and talked of fixing

confidence of all who made his &C.

genial, and was thought to be a
straightforward business man and

pears that he skinned" every body
with whom ne had any dealings.
Everything went along smooth
ly until last Saturday. On Friday
he (Brlnkley) informed the drum
mer that he must go to Memphis
on Saturday morning and that he
would return the next day. He
gave plausible reason for going
though it should have seemed
strange that he would leave his
business on the busiest day of the
season. AT any rate he went, and
ho has not returned, and probably
never will. He was seen in Mem.

1t is said was trying to get ticket
to Nashville. He tried to borrow
money from Sol Lewis, but failed,
and is known to be in debt to the
Cook House, Mrs. Paslay, this Of

aggregating perhaps $50 or SIS.
So far as we know no steps have
been taken to capture him. He is
