$, [, HENDRIX
 IN COUNTY JAIL Man Who Assaulted Jesse R. Core Brought to City to
 Answer Charge.
HE IS REFUSED BAIL
Says Core Has Been Trying to Drive Him From Plum BayOu.--
 Ussery's Statement.

Ward, of England, who attended Jesse R. Core at Plum Bayou Monday night. after he had been assaulted with the butt end of a revolver by 5. c. Hendrix, merchant of Plum Baycu, assuring him that Cores con- Frazier will not accept bond for Hendrix.
 Immediately after his arrival here last night from England where Hendrix surrendered to Deputy Sheriff C. c. Green, Hendrix offered to make bond, but he spent several hours in the office of Sheriff Brew ster without succeeding in making a $2,000 bond that had been agreed to by the Magistrate. Later, while he was trying to get signers to the bond, Magistrate Frazier appeared and said that Judge Grace had advised him to commit Hendrix to. jail without bond and he was locked up in the county jail.
 Before leaving the court house, however, Hendrix employed Attorney T. Havis Nixon to represent him and an effort will be made today to get him released on bond. Magistrate Frazier said that he would not fix bail in HendriX's case unless the physician attending Core would make affidavit that the wounded man is not seriously hurt.
 Information from Plum Bayou last night was to the effect that Mir. Core would be laid up for several weeks as result of the beating given him by Hendrix. It was stated that he had spent bad night and was suf- fering considerably from the wounds on his head and in his side, where he says. Hendrix kicked him after felling him with the butt end of the revolver. Dr. Ward informed Sheriff Brewster over the long distance phone last night that he had not visited Mir Core during the day, but that he would probably do so tomorrow and send a statement of his condition tc Pine Bluff after attending him again
 Hendrix, who is six foot, two, and probably weighs more than 200 pounds, would not make any state. meat when questioned by Graphic representative last night He said he did not want to discuss the case It was learned, however, that he will charge that Jesse Core has on severa, occasions threatened his life and cursed him, while holding a revolver pointed at him. He claims that J. R Core has been bullying" him and has been trying to run him away from Plum Bayou for some months He declares that he has been fre- puently abused by Core It appears that their trouble is the result of competition in business at Plum Bayou.
 Hendrix is a giant in size and his manner is anything but pleasant. He was short and sullen in his answers to questions propounded to him. He says he can make bond for any amount at England, but that he knows very few people in this city and would have trouble getting security here.

Core, If you run I'll shoot you. He hammered away at Mr. Cores shoulders and head with an automatic revolver. I pleaded with Hendrix to stop and MT. Core urged me to stop him.
