GOVERNOR DAVIS
GOES AFTER MERRIMAN.
Gubernatorial Debate Between Gov
ernor and Vandeventer at Beebe—
Vandeventer Calls Davis
Human Hyena.
Beebe, July 28.—A large crowd at
tended the gubernatorial debate here
yesterday afternoon.
About 3,000 heard the speaking and
Gov. Davis was given a patient hear
ing. Mr. Vandeventer was not so
lucky, and several times the chairman
had to rise during his speech and en
force order. There was much regret
expressed that Judge Wood could not
be present.
Gov. Davis was the first speaker.
He alleged that Judge Merriman was
discharged from the army for immor
ality and read a letter from the as
sistant adjutant general of the United
States army, which was as follows:
“Washington, D. C., March 7, 1903.
—The Adjutant General, State of Ark
ansas, Little Rock, Ark., Sir: I have
the honor to inform you that in reply
to your letter of the 2d inst. that Ed
ward M. Merriman of New York was
a cadet at the United States military
academy from September 1, 1863, to
June 17, 1867, when he graduated and
was appointed second lieutenant First
artillery. He served in that capacity
until December 8, 1870, when muster
ed out of service under section 11 of
the act of congress approved July 15,
1870, upon the report of the board of
officers convened under that section,
that he was unfit for service on ac
count of deficiency in moral charac
ter. Very respectfully,
W. V. X1AL.O,
Assistant Adjutant General.
Mr. Vandeventer was the next
speaker and read from Gov. Davis’
speech at Eureka Springs in which he
made complimentary remarks about
the supreme court. This was when
he was making the race for attorney
general.
The speaker said the report that he
was running in the interest of Judge
Wood was a falsehood. Referring to
the Merriman letter, he said he had
only wanted to make the governor
show it. He took up the free coal
matter and, turning to Davis, asked if
the bill had been paid. There was no
reply. Gov. Davis was turned out of
the Baptist church in Little Rock, he
said, and when the stare convention
met at Little Rock announced for
United States senator to succeed Sen
ator Bei-ry to “vindicate himself.”
In his Lonoke speech Gov. Davis
had told the people not to keep one
man in one office all the time; to
change the man or the office. Mr.
Vandeventer had a copy of this
speech, from w'hich he read extracts
and dwelt on it for some time.
fix his Butlerville speech Gov. Davis
had referred to Prof. James Mitchell,
the deceased editor of the Arkansas
Democrat, and he asked the governor
if he were a hyena Who would dis
turb the dead. The speaker spoke in
the highest terms of Prof. Mitchell.
TWO SYSTEMS TO
HAVE JOINT LINE.
The real object of the recent traffic
arrangement between the Missouri
Pacific and the Frisco is brought to
the surface by the announcement of
an agreement between the two sys
tems by which the Missouri Pacific
and the Frisco systems plan to build a
joint line down the west side of tne
Mississippi river to Baton Rouge,
where the Frisco is to enter New
Orleans over the tracks of the Yazoo
' & Mississippi Valley. By this ar
rangement the two systems will save
considerable paralel track building
and both will have access to the ter
ritory covered by the two lines and
reached by its connections.
Instead of two competing lines on
the west side of the Mississippi river
from Memphis to New Orleans, there
will only be one, and that line now is
under construction by the Missouri
Pacific. The Frisco contemplated its
own rails between Memphis and New
Orleans, but the arrangement with
the Missouri Pacific and the Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley means that the
Frisco will not attempt its own phy
sical connection as an independent
system.
MOONLIGHT PICNIC.
Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Snetzer chaper
oned a merry party of young people
to Bergen Lake Tuesday evening,
who carried with them a fine spread
of picnic delicacies, that were keenly
relished.
The party 4 composed of Misses Allie
Adams and Myrla Gravett and Messrs.
Arthur Bowie and Roy Pace, returned
by moonlight.
REVENUE COLLECTOR
HELD IN CONTEMPT.!
—
Refused to Inform Grand Jury to
Whom Government Licenses Had
Been Issued in Prohibition
Territory.
The Harrison Republican has the
following interesting item about one |
of Internal Revenue Collector F. W.
Tucker’s deputies:
“F. M. Lamberton, deputy revenue
collector, was fined §20 this week and
sentenced to forty-eight hours in the
county jail by Judge E. G. Mitchell,
for refusing to give information to
the grand jury regarding matters of
which he had knowledge only through
bis official capacity, and which he
claims he had no right to disclose.
He gave bond and will go before the
United States court on a writ of
habeas corpus, where he is confident
that he will be upheld in his position.
It is a point of considerable interest
to the temperance people, as the law
in this state makes the holding of a
government license prima-facie evi
dence of guilt, and if the revenue of
ficers will testify as to who have such
licenses it would be very easy to
reach them. On the other hand, if
the revenue officer should give such
information he might be kept before
the grand juries and different courts
of the district almost continually and
have no time to perform his duties as
such officer.”

HUBBARD HEAD ESCAPES JAIL.
Three Prisoners Break Jail at Bates- .
ville—Posses Scouring Coun
try in Pursuit.
Batesville, July 28.—Three prisoners
escaped from the county jail at noon
today by prying open the door with
an iron bar.
The jailer at the time was away.
The alarm was given at once and
posses started in pursuit. They are
now scouring the country in search of
the fugitives.
One of the escaped prisoners is
Hubbard Head, a negro and a noto
rious criminal, now under indictment
for criminally assaulting a white
woman near Newark.
When Head was arrested for the
assault there was much talk of lynch
ing him.
BATESVILLE DEPOT
WAS BURGLARIZED.
Batesville, July 28.—The Iron Moun
tain depot was entered last night by
burglars, but luckily the money had
all been taken to the bank, and all the
booty secured was some miscellaneous
merchandise. It is thought the bur
glars are professionals from some
city.
Joe Walker went to Little Rock
Wednesday noon on a business trip.
J. W. Baker, road commissioner
was here Wednesday, assisting J. S.
Hill in looking after the work on
Second Street. The grading and lev
eling has been completed and the
rock will be thrown on as soon as it
arrives. Several orders for rock have
been made and it will be laid to a
depth of one foot, which should make
a good street.
