Farmer Flourishing Revolver Gives Adair Campaign New Thrill.

Evansville, Ind., Oct. 19.—John A. M. Adair experienced a new thrill 'n his campaign for governor today when he was threatened ‘with a revolver in the hands of a farmer on a road near this city this afternoon. The farmer, with a wagon, refused to make room for the automobile in which the democratic nominee was riding and threatened the lives of the bedbpants of the car. The farmer’s name was not learned and no official action was taken. . - When the automobile drew up behind the wagon the farmer refused to draw aside. An appeal to the man brought forth the revolver and the motorists resigned themselves to a walking pace behind the wagon. Then the farmer suddenly pulled aside and, without a word, allowed the car to pass. . /
