WITH BRICK BATS.
Account of a Cowardly Attack on Rev. E. A. Tabor at
 Warren.

The following article from the columns of the Warren Democrat News gives an account of all attack made upon all honored citizen of Little Rock, a field worker in the Anti Saloon League Of Arkansas:
 Tuesday night as Rev. E. A. Tabor was returning to the Jolly Hotel he was brickbatted on the street. He had just concluded a stirring address at the Methodist Church in the interest of the Anti Saloon League and no doubt pro voked the resentment of the tough element, who, under the cover of darkness, employed this cowardly way to wreak vengeance upon a minister and an earnest Christian man, who is giving his life to the grand work of trying to save souls and break up blind-tigerism and other lawlessnes5 i'll the state. 1t was shameful and an outrageous act, so mean and cowardly that every good citizen of the town feels humiliated and deeply mortified that such an element is to be found ill our town. This editor was with MT. Tabor at H. l.. Turner s corner a few moments before the brickbatting was done and after parting with him we went to the post-office after our mail and we heard the noise of the stones as they struck the sidewalk and build
 ings. Returning from the post office, when we got to Martin, Goodwin & Watson's corner we saw three men standing on the sidewalk midway between Us and H. l.. Turner's store; one of them wore dark coat and light pants, another was ill his shirt sleeves with light pants, and the third had on darker clothes, but these we did not particularly notice. When we got about midway the building going west a large brickbat was hurled violently at us, narrowly missing us and striking the door, leaving deep scar oil the door. When we turned the sneaks were gone. Had the brick struck us we would have been either killed or maimed for life It is truly de- plorable that our town is infested with such characters. There are parents in Warren who have good reasons to suspect their sons of such acts, and why will they not do what they should to protect the unoffending, reputable citizens from indignities and absolute dan ger to their persons and property' Why should MT. Tabor have been assaulted when he was here only to advocate the enforcement of the laws? Is there father ill Warren (if he is not engaged ill blind ti- ger) who is opposed to any legiti- mate measure to break up blind ti- gers and to the enforcement of law9 This editor stands for these in heart, mind, soul and strength, and if this be a sin against War ren and her people in the eyes of some, it is the result of their being on the other side from that which | is right.
