learn that W. A. Arthur & Com
pany of Texarkana, whose buyer
here is Mr. C. E. Crook, are not
insolvent. The company is not
buying for a few days, having
been temporarily embarrassed in
securing cotton to fill orders, ow

Crook will be in the market again
in a few days, and we are glad
to publish the good news.

SENATOR JOBE SAYS
WOOD WAS HELD.
Story of Hempstead County,
Sheriff Confirmed By Chair
man of Meeting.
State Senator T. C. Jobe ofj
Hope, who was chairman of the j
meeting at Hope Saturday when
the personal encounter between:
Judge Wood and Governor Davis j
occurred, while in Little Rock
Tuesday gave out the following
dictated statement of the affray:
‘ ‘I do not care to make any de
tailed statement. I shall make
a sworn statement on January 15
before Mayor Black. Sheriff
White’s affidavit more fully j
agrees with the actual facts as i
they occurred than any other
statement.* While I was intro
ducing Mr. Vandeventer and
making a plea for the audience to
remain and hear the other speak
ers, some one jerked the gov
ernor’s cane from my hand.
When I looked around the gov
ernor had the cane in a striking
position. Mr. Bourland and Mr.
Ward were intervening between
Governor Davis and Judge Wood.
Judge Wood’s cane was lying by
my chair, several feet back on;
the stage. I stepped back from
the front of the stage while the j
struggle was going on. Bour
land and Ward were both trying j
to check Judge Wood from going |
toward Gov. Davis. Bourland i
was behind Wood and Ward was
between him and Davis. Bour
land was holding his arms from
behind and Ward standing in
front pleading to have no diffi
culty. The governor was evi
dently approaching Judge Wood
with his cane uplifted. I im
mediately stepped to my chair
and picked up Judge Wood’s J
stick and endeavored to hand it!
to him, but his hands were held
in such a way that he could not
take hold of it. While held in
this position Gov. Davis dealt
him two, possibly three blows on j
the head with the big end of his !
cane. At this juncture Judge
Wood wrenched himself loose
from Bourland and Ward and in
some way got Gov. Davis' stick
out of his hand, dealing him one
blow which was warded off by
the governor’s arm. At this j
point Deputy Sheriff Monroe |
caught Wood, commanding peace, j
while Sheriff White took chairge
of Gov. Davis. There were no
further demonstrations or diffi
culty.”
