Pg. 4 Col. 2 Threatening Note Tacked on B. F. Whiteker's Barn at Sunrise "If you receive any tobacco in this barn we will blow it to Hell, and you with it!" This is the note that B. F. Whiteker found tacked on his tobacco barn at Sunrise, this county Wednesday morning. Mr. Whiteker has been arranging to receive tobacco there, as he had decided to purchase tobacco and prize it in the barn referred to. He received the first load Wednesday. Mr. Whiteker is naturally very much alarmed over the contents of the note and called up Judge King and Deputy Sheriff Louis Furnish a number of times to request that guards be furnished. These officials did not think that the situation warranted them in granting Mr. Whiteker's request and so informed him. The law provides that where there is an unusual disturbance and the Sheriff thinks extra deputies are needed, he may swear in as many as the thinks necessary, with the approval of the County Judge. As there has been no outbreak of any kind Mr. Furnish is of the opinion that he can do nothing under the present circumstances. Some seem to think the note was a bluff or a joke, by Mr. Whiteker can not see where the joke comes in.
