c. H. Mcconnell was in town

c. H. Mcconnell was in town yesterday from out South of the city. He is just recovering from fractured arm caused by a mule kick received sometime ago. That mule must have had his habits on that day, for not being satisfied with what he done to our friend. Mir. Mcconnell, he wheeled and damned" it to John Peyear, the auctioneer, loosening few of his ribs. We don't know whether the mule was satisfied then or not, but there was nobody else to work on.

BOLD ROB} RS LOOT
 LITTLE ROCK BANK.
Unmasked and in Broad Day light Three Men Get Away
 With $3.600.00

Coolly taking possession of the Central Bank and Trust Co.,, at Sixth and Louisiana streets in the heart of Little Rocks busi- ness district, at 1:30 o'clock on last Monday afternoon, three un- masked armed bandits locked Cashier E E. Walden, Teller T. E. Hale and Miss Lucille Walden, stenographer, in the vault and escaped with some S3,600.00 in gold and currency.
 T. B. Ford, manager of the in surance department of the bank, returning from lunch few mln- utes after the robbery, heard the calls of the prisoners in the vault who told him that the bank had been robbed. He called police headquarters, and then operat- ing the combination on the door of the vault as it was called to him by Cashier Walden inside, MT. Ford opened the door and released the three prisoners.
 Did the bandits escape to Ar genta immediately after the rob- bery and go from there to Lo- noke in automobile and board the Hot Springs Special for Memphis? is the question that put the police to guessing.
 When it was learned that three men hired car in Argenta Mon- day afternoon and went to Lo- noke, where they purchased tickets for Tupelo, Miss. word was telegraphed to Memphis to watch for the men. But when the train arrived ln Memphis at 7:35 D. m. the men were not to be found, and are still at large.

Brakeman Shoots Girl;
 Railroad Pays Her $3, 200.

Because Thomas Jackson, a brakeman for the Pine Bluff and Arkansas River Railroad, shot Lizzie Washington, his sweet heart, in the arm while she was en- route to England from Pine Bluff on Septem Der 22, 1913. the railroad company must pay Liz. zie S3, 200, according to the judg- ment of the Supreme Court handed down this morning affirm ing a judgment of the Jefferson circuit court.
 Lizzie said Tom shot her be- cause she refused to go with him to the end of the line, and told him she had quit" him. Jackson claimed the shooting was accidental, but the jury gave Lizzie a S3, POO verdict. The rail road company appealed and in troduced testimony showing the relationship existing between the pair. The Supreme Court Eeld, however. that the brakeman was obligated to see to the comfort and safety of passengers" as the agent of the company, and that his relation to Lizzie did not relieve this obligation.
