A lot of good people in this city

A lot of good people in this city have made themselves conspicuous, to say the least, by signing apaper circulated by Editor c. R. lzard in his over-zealous loyalty 10 the gov ernor, in which they are made 10 say that they condemn Mir. Dins- more for protecting the privacy and sanctity of his personal cores pondence, and at the samo time com mend the governor for breaking his cane over the head of the con. gressman. Can It be that such partisanship and prejudice exists in the minds Of these persons that they commend in Davis what they condemn in Dinsmorey Was it any more indecent or outrageous to strike with a elubbed pistol than with q clubbed cane? We do not object to our neighbors buying the governor new cane, because he will likely need it if he does not mend his ways, but we object to the s'memorial' which they signed because it is laden with gross in- constituencies and fragrant distor- tions of the truth.

The Forrest City times., 1905-12-01

Some accounts say that Dins- more struck the governor the hrst blow with his fist, and the governor then broke his cane over his head. Other accounts say that when Dinsmore called him that vile name, the governor hit him (hrsD with his cane.
 There is nothing in the dis patches except the governors un- supported statement to show that there was any attempt to shoot him. or upon his life. or to murder him. IL was simply personal en- counter brought upon the gover- nor by his unnaturslly developed propensity to convert everything public or prlvate-to his personal political greed, without regard to the rights of others, and with the most fragrant violations Of every code of ethics, even to that of q gentleman.
 The governors statement given out Monday morning, seeks to make the impression upon the pub lie mind that there was a deep-laid conspiracy to murder him. As usual, when the governor explains his escapades, he resorts to subter- fuge and faIsehood. Mr. Dins- more's statements bear upon their face the stamp of sincerity and are supported by his sworn testimony before the magistrate who fined him. The following Is

GOT HIS HEAD BROKE.
Governor and EX-Congressman Engage in Battle With
 Cane and Pistol.

On last Sunday night the Wash. ington Hotel at Fayetteville was the scene of & bloody encounter between Governor Jefferson Davis and Ex-CoDgressman II guh A Dlpsmore, iD which the governor broke bis celebrated cane over the head of the former congressman, and the latter brought his trusty A5 revolver down upon the era nium of the chief executive several times, and until he cried tor clip and fled 10 the writing room.
 Both men were painfully but not seriously hurt, though the gov. erDor required a physician to take q couple of stitches in his scalp.
 Both men were arrested, and on the following day Mr Dinsmore was fined one dollar for assault, 1hH F'V iOi 1oii ) lbS d piotoi. HC governor did not appear, and no Case was called against him.
 From statements issued by both combatanls, the fight was over Il personal letter that had been written to Mir Dnsmore by Sena- tor Berry, asking his advice about meeting Governor Davis in joint debate at Ben1onvllle. Governor Davis had this letter and had been reading 1t in his speeches, and as Mr. Dinsmore claims, torturing it out of It's original meaning Mr. Dinsmore had been informed by a friend that the governor had read the letter at Cotter on Saturday and when charged with this Gov ernor Davis denied the allegation. and said tbat the letter was in Little Rock, whereupon :Dlnsmore called him a liar and thieving

DISsMoRE's STATEMENT.

Dinsnorc statement Is this:
 ''l met a friend on the street yesterday who was just from Cot. ter, Ark, where he heard Gov. Da- wis speak. In his speech he read a letter which Senator Berry had written me. The governor is try ing to make capital against Sena
 tor B erry out Of this, eonstruIng things into It, which IS usual with him. This letter was private prop erty and surreptitiously obtained. Gov. Davis not seeming to appre- ciate that his conduct was dishon- orable, l made up my mind to de- mand my letter from him. Learn ing that he would be here last night, 1 awaited his arrival at the hotel. When he came told him 1 would like to have private inter. view with him. He said very well, and invited me to his room. As he started upstairs he told Mir. Oscar Moore to come with Us. Mir. Jack Walker was ln company with me and went also. When we got into his room, l said: I understand you have q letter of mine from Senator Berry, which you have been read ing in your speeches. He said: Il have, but have not got 1t now" asked where 1t was now, and he said he had lett 1t in his office at  home. l asked him if he did not have il with hlm on Friday at Cot. ter and read from II. He said that he did not. l told him he was q liar, that Mir. Rod Murchison had been there and heard him read the letter. thereupon asked him how he got possession of the letter. He said friend here gave it to him, but refused to tell who It was. told him that he and his friend were no better than couple oi thieves to obtain and use a private letter Tn that way. He then open. ed the door of his room and wal k ed out. We went down stairs into the lobby of the hotel and l continued to denounce his conduct in severe language. He had large gold headed cane in his hand and shift ed it, catching it about the middle. As he raised 1t as if 10 strike me, 1 struck him in the face with my list, He struck me over the side ot the head and broke the cane in the middle, reversing Il with large end as club, aud attempting to strike me with it. thereupon drew q 1 pistol from my pocket and struck him several blows upon the head until he desisted and cried for help. then lett him.

is no Danger in Wheat Crop
Falling Off

WASHINGTON. April 6.-"There is
not to be any shortage in wheat in the
near future or in the far future. for
that matter" said Secretary Wilson.
of the department of agriculture. the
other day to your correspondent, in
discussing a rumor that much of the
wheat hand in the United States had
begun to play out, and that it would
be only question of IA few years be-
fore Uncle Sans granary of the world
would become exhausted.
Il don't know how such IA report
started" continued the secretary but
| do know that it is ridiculous. We
grew more wheat than ever last year,
and included in the crop 100000
bushels of macoroni wheat a crop that
will grow anywhere
Secretary Wilson admitted that some
of the lands in the northwest where
the owners of the land have been grow
ing crop after crop on the same ground
without rotating crops, had worn out
the soil.
This is along the northwestern tier
of states, said he. "and is due to un-
scientific farming. I have sent men to
the headwaters of the Yangste kiang,
in China: to Norway and Sweden and
other out of the way places. to nnd
legumes and other crops that VIII
grow on this old wheat land. When
they return we will find some way TO
recrop the land where the wheat is now
sickly"
Secretary Wilson also said that the
vanilla bean was also now being grown
! in the United States.
