6 THE WILSON ADVANCE: JUNE 18. 1896. Severe Hail Storm. - On Saturday last a terrible hail storm passed' over the section of country lying near St. Lewis. Many crops were completely de stroyed, k seems to have been ab most as bad as the one that visited Wake county during .the same: day, where hail stones actu nulated in nils to the depth of fourteen inches. : , An Accident Saturday. What came near being a serious accident happened to two of ouj young ladies last Saturday afternoon'. Misses Tyson and Person were driv ing down Nash street when, as they crossed the plank walk "at " the Cou i House corner, the 'king bolt, cf the bugy pulled out leaving the hind wheels and body in the middle; of the street, while the horse with the front wheels . made for; home. He Ireed himself from the wheels by run ning into a tree near the barber shop. Miss Tyson was thrown out of the buggy but escaped injury. Cough t at Kenly . ' i On the 9th of this month two life term prisoners escaped from the pen itentiary at Raleigh and were not heard of until last Thursday, when a man named Edgerton captured them in Kenly. Edgerton obtained a description ol the men from one of the guards and as the escaped convicts passed through Ivenly on 7S arrested them. One had the guard's rifle with him but jumped from the train leaving it behind. A few shots from the gun brought the fugitive to a standstill. A reward of $100 was offered for their capture. Ended in a Tree Figbt. . On Thursday last the Wilmington and Norfalk train was packed with negroes going to Black Creek to at tend a ball game and pic nic at that place. There were about 200 that went from here, and with the people from other points made quite a crowd there. . Everything went along nicely until a white man and negro had a dispute about something.;. Some one drew a "gun" when all the rest followed suit and began shooting in air directions. As one cf them expressed it, "the bullets flew like hail," Fortunately no one was huit. The ring leaders were arrested and carried back Saturday for prelimi nary trial. Fines were imposed on several, and four or five bound over to next term of court in November. No one was out in jail as they were able to give bond. . Hliat Kali Game. Spring Hope, fJ. C, June 12,-96 Editor Wilson Advance: - Dear Sir We notice an account of the game played here last Friday the 5th inst.t between Wilson and Spring Hope in yesterday's Ad vance, we wish you to publish this which is a correct detail of the game Spring Hope took the bat and was blanked, ror Wilson, K. Wilkins Applewhite and Harris crossed the plate. Spring Hope was again shut out in the second, while Moore for the - visitors got home safe. - We again goose-egged in the thiid. as also was Wilson. Our boys went at "em" in the fourth and never stODned running until Tisdale, Clifton, Webb ana Mills had crossed the plate The Wilson lads were shut out in their half, and treated us likewise in the fifth. The visitors then came in f jr their half ; the first two men went out easy, the third man haviner' ose; call at first, but was declared out by the umpire. Right here Capt. Harris claimed his man safe and insisted on having a Wilson man to umpire the remainder of the game this we agreed to, but the Wilkins boys refused . to play any further. Then to start the ball rolling Capt. May agreed to replace the runner safe pn first, but the" Wilkins boys still refused to play, and the two left the-grounds fearing sa decent defeat. The umpire then declared the game g to o in fay or of Spring Hope. The score at end of fifth " inning was 4 to 4j instead cf 5 to 4 in Wilson's favor. I certify that the above is correct. .-V-. A. F.
