THREATENS TO KILL DAVIS.
Ernest Baxter. Who Travels With
Rector, Threatens to Kill
Governor Davis.
Hamburg, Feb- 22.—During the
debate at Warren between Gov.
Davis and Col. lie tor, Gov. Dav
is took occasion to refer to Ernest
Baxter, a traveling companion
with Rector, as author of the
statement that Col. Rector was a
colonel of the Arkansas State
Guard. This was in his rejoinder.
At the close of the governor’s
speech and while recievingfriends
Baxter advanced to Governor
Davis unepeetedly in a demonstra
tive way, making threats that be
would shoot Davis.
As Baxter approached near the
governor he was caught Gy J. C.
Clary, ex-sheriff of Bradley coun
ty, and held back, while an indig
nant crowd rushed at him. They
were restrained from doing vio
lence by the wise council of
Governor Davis, and Baxter was
released.
Later several of the governor’s
friends came to him in his room
and told him of more threats made
l»y Baxter, which the governor
hid not heard, and in accordance
two reputable citizens made the
following statement:
We, R. M. Temple and C. T.
Iloyle, state that we were present
at a joint discussion between Col.
Rector and Gov. Davis at War
ren. February 20. 1902. After the
speaking we heard a young man
whose name is said to be Baxter,
and who is traveling with Col.
Rector, threaten to shoot Gov.
Davis if he ever referred to him
again in a public speech, Baxter
saying this was the tiftli time Gov.
Davis Imd referred to him. Our
citizens are indignant at this
treatment of tlie governor, and
arc surprised that Col. Rector
j should carry such a being with
! him. R, M. Ticmclk,
C. T. IlOYLK.
The above statement was made
bv these and other citizens to Col.
Rector, and ho was urged to send
Baxter home, but he flatly de
clined to do so.
At Hamburg a telephone mes
sage was received from Warren
I to keep a close watch on Baxter,
j as he had made other threats of
violence against Gov. Davis, say
I ing that ho intended to shoot him
j before tGo campaign was over.
! Baxter was found to have a pist--l
on him.
I Any citizen may write to J. C.
[Clary, ex-sheriff of Bradley coun
ty, at Warren, to learn that (be
above is collect.
