FURNISHED COAL
ON OPEN ACCOUNT.
Manager McNair of Bunch Coal Com
pany Says Governor Has Never ,
Paid For His Coal But Denies
That Fuel Was Give His
Excellency.
Little Rock, Feb. 24—The investi
gation last night by the ways and
means committee of the house of the
charges growing out of the controver
sy between Governor Davis and the
other members of the penitentiary
board turned upon the alleged furnish
ing of free coal to the governor and
to Purchasing Agent Page of the state
charitable institutions board.
R. H. McNair, the manager of theT.
H. Bunch Coal Company, was the only
witness on the stand. T. H. Bunch
was requested to come to the com
mittee meeting by Deputy Sheriff
Barney Stiel, at the request of the
governor and with the acquiescence
of the committee, but Mr. Bunch sent
word back that he would not come.
Mr. McNair stated that he had fur
nished coal to the governor and to Mr
Page for which his company had not
been paid. The coal was furnished in
the winter of 1901-2. The question as
to whether the witness knew that the
governor and Mr. Page had the power
to injure him in the collection of the
money for the contract for the coal
for the state charitable institutions,
which was let for one year in the sum
mer of 1901, was barred and was not
answered. Governor Davis claimed
that the matter was merely an open
account, remaining unpaid.
In the course of the investigation
there were several lively tilts between
Governor Davis and Chairman Merri
T
man of the committee. In one of
these the chair told the governor that
unless he conformed to the ruling of
the chair he could not appear at all.
Governor Davis had charged the chair
With injustice in bis rulings. Mr. Mer
riman made a statement which was
loudly cheered.
A resolution by Mr. Futrell to per
mit only the governor to cross ex
amine witnesses was voted down by
a vote of six to five. The committee
consumed some time in the argument
on the resolution.

BROWN’S ARM SHATTERED.
Blacksmith Grew Ugly While in His
Cups and Tried to Kill Sanderson.
Forrest City, Ark., Feb. 24—A shoot
ing scrape occurred at Bonair, four
miles south of here, at noon yesterday

tated the arm near the shoulder.
Brown had been drinking heavily.
Sanderson was trying to keep him

ble conflict, in which Sanderson shot

armed and attempted to shoot Sander

to come and look after his son, who
