WITH cox.
Central Figures in Doodle
Trials Engage in Person
al Encounter in Front
OfMerchants Hotel.

Senator A. w. Covington, president
of the last State Senate, and lhomas
l.. Cox, who has be en- conspicuous
figure in the Doodle Investigations
made by the Pulaski County Grand
Jury and the trials that have resulted
engaged in a personal encounter yes
terday afternoon shortly after 2 O'Clock
in front Of the Merchants hotel.
Neither Of the combatants was in
jured, a, bystanders intencred and
stopped the fight before either had an
opportunity to inflict any damage upon
his antagonist. The noise and scutfle
attracted large crowd, however, and
within few minutes the report OF the
O ccurance had spread throughout the
downtown district. Senator Covlng-
ton was Immediately placed under ar
rest by Sergeant Coggswell and put
up cash forfeit Of $40 for his ap-
pearance at later time. Cox left the
city late yesterday afternoon, but be-
fore leaving he notified police head
quarters that if there was any charge
against him he would appear in an
swer to it Immediately upon his return
to the city.
CONVICTION Was THE AccREssoR.
Senator Covington, according to
his own statement, was the aggressor
in the difficulty. He was standing
lust inside the door Of the Merchant
hotel. when Cox entered for the pur-
pose Of securing valise which ne had
previously checked at the hotel. Gov
ington grasped Cox by the lapel Of his
coat and attempted to strike him with
his cane. Cox grappeled with his as
sailant, and during the struggle they
passed out Of the door to the sidewalk
in front Of the hotel. Cox drew a
small pocket knife from his pocket
but did not succeed In getting it open
before the men were separated. Cox
also grasped the cane with which Gov
ington was attempting to strike him.
In the struggle one Of the windows in
front Of the hotel was broken and a
shower Of glass fell On the combatant'.
Different versions were given as to
how the window was broken but
several bystanders declared that twas
smashed by the cane over which the
men were struggling.
At this point Senator T. L. Hardy,
who witnessed the affair, and several
other spectators interiered and separa-
ted the men. After short time Cox
left the hotel, but Senator Covington
remained until the arrival Of Sergeant
Coggswell from police headquarters.
