Senator jeff DAVIS Dies.


United States Senator JEFF Davis
died suddenly at his home in Little
Rock, Ark, of apoplexy. in his fifty
first year.
Senator Davis complained of feeling
badly Thursday. but the family physi
clan did not regard his condition as
serious.
Early Friday morning the senator
called to his son, who was in an ad-
joining room, that he was i'll and to
summon a physician.
A doctor arrived in half an hour.
AS he entered the room Senator Davis
fell back dead. Up to the time he
called his son, Senator Davis had ap.
parently slept soundly
The senator when he returned home
from Washington for the holidays
seemed in his usual health, and Thurs
day was out on the streets. He had
not been feeling well, however, for
several months. During his last politi-
cal campaign in September there was
general comment on the fact that he
did not use the vigorous methods that
characterized his earlier campaigns.
