Bradford Telegraph: Nick Joyuer, who
shot W. T. Jones in Starke Wednesday
night, Aug. o, has succeeded thus far in
Guiding the officers, although the most
persistent efforts have been made to cap
ture him. Sheriff Denmark and deputies
have been on the move constantly since the
shooting. but no trace of the man can be

is only a question of time until he will be
apprehended, but at present he is as Of
fectually out of reach as though the
earth had swallowed him.
