A dastardly attempt was made at Lexington, Ky., Tuesday, to assassinate D. L. Baxter, well known newspaper correspondent, by the explosion of a deadly machine which was left at the Leader office directed to that gentleman. There was sufficient dynamite in the parcel to have blown up any building in the city, and it only failed to accomplish its deadly purpose because the percussion matches failed to ignite. Additional Comments: The Georgia Enterprise was published in Newton County Georgia up to 1905.
