Rhoton.
Davis and Helm met at I'd and Louisiana
streets, one of the most conspicuous places in

ditch. Helm says Davis made an insulting per-
sonal remark which drew his attack. He says
he struck Davis twice with his fist. Davis
ceived a scalp wound from which blood flowed
Helm says he may have struck Davis with the
Senator's gold headed cane, but does not think
he did Davis dropped the cane early in the
mix-up. He retreated to his Office and later re-
turned to the street armed with a large re-
vover, which he f1ourished about the corner of

ing revolver. He gave bond and will appear
in a Justices court tomorrow. Drs- Runyan
and Shinault dressed the scalp wound of the

cutting Attorney Rhoton in the last campaign,
when Davis stumping the state in the in
terest of Kirby for Governor, and Rhoton was
candidate for reelection Prosecuting At
tornev. Kirby lost. Rhoton won and Davis has
been in bad humor since.

prosecute legislative boodlers and with improper
procedure in office while Rhoton replied with
charges that Davis had ridden on railroad passes
and had winked at malpractice in Office.
Senator Davis has issued a long signed state
ment relative to the conflict. He declares that
Helm struck him with loaded bat, about ten
inches long, fastened TO his arm with strap.
He asserts the Rhoton faction is trying to bring
him (Davis) into disrepute. He says it looks
like plot with a deeper meaning. Helm, when
