IS JEFF so FOOLISH?
Will lie Risk Further Reduction of Dem Ocratic MajOrities in State to
 Carry His Contest.

Little Rock, Dec. 28. It was learned from reliable sources to- day that an effort will be made at the coming meeting of the Democratic state central com mittee to exclude all Democrats from participating in the March 18th primaries who failed to vote for Gov. Davis in the last gen. eral election. The state com- mittee is empowered to pres scribe all the rules governing the primaries and it is known that the ultra-Davis wing of the party favors such move. At the last general election Gov. Davis re- ceived 91,991 votes and the average vote received by the other candidates on the state ticket was 138, Ill. Consider  able of this vote can be account ed for from the fact that Gov. Davis was the only Democratic nominee who had opposition. It can readily be seen, however, that if such a radical course is adopted by the state committee the party would be in great dan ger of having it's vote consider ably reduced at the general elec- tion next September. The com- ing meeting is being anxiously awaited throughout the state. Gov. Davis is in absolute control of the committee.

BROWNING KILLS ANOTHER MAN.
frank Browning of Sulphur Rock Shoots ant Nils Telegraph Operator
 at hOxie.

About 1:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon Frank Browning, of Sulphur Rock, well known here, yhere he once killed a man, for which he was later acquitted, shot and killed T. w. Midkiff, day operator in the Iron Moun- tain-Frisco office at Hoxie.
 The trouble arose over a mes- sage sent to Batesville by Brown ing. The operator had told him an answer should be received by 5 o'clock, but about 1:30 Brown ing, who had been drinking, re- turned and wanted an answer. When told that nothing had been heard, he began to abuse Mid xiii with oaths and the latter set about to eject Browning from the office. Without warn- ing, it is said, Browning pulled a revolver and shot Midkiff, the ball severing an artery close to the heart and causing wound which brought death in two minutes.
 The people of Hoxie and Wall nut Ridge, who lold Midkiff in high esteem, were soon in arms and lynching was prevented by the prompt action of an off, cer in hurrying Browning to Jonesboro on a freight train and thence to Paragould, where he is being held.
 The box car which has been used as a depot by the two roads intersecting at Hoxie, also added to the excitement there, being burned to the ground.
