I'Izor Get
iootl Game Until fhoNixlli Inning
I oncor Fiirnlshe! Ttiem Plnyers
For some reason only a very
imall crowd went to the base ball
grounds Saturday afternoon to
witness the last game. of the week
with the Pelzer team. Three of
Pelzer's team having been " dis
charged, our team had to let them
have Reid to catch, and also gave
ithem Johnston, who belonged to
us.
Saunders' , arm seems not to tire,
though he pitched the game on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Raid caught his balls Saturday
evening, and though he had not
been olaved in that position this
season, he held them as fast as
they came to him. Billy Wed-
dington and Oldham did the bat-
t ary work for our team.
; Along through the first of the
game, the score was good, not one
having made a run. Reid made
a pretty play in the second inning
by putting Rogers out between
nrst and second bases.
A fine double play was made
1 by our team on the first and sec
I ond bases, putting out Saunders
land Frost in the second inning.
Ed Misenheimer, the second base-
j man, made a pretty catch of Ney-
fille's fly behind the first base in
i -
!4jie third inning. .
Up to this time neither team
had made a single run, but Man-
gam went to the bat in the third
finning and landed a fly over the
I fence in the left field again. Old
j ham was on the bases at the time,
j which scored two runs for Con-
j cord.
I In this same inning our boys
made another double play on
jroole and Mains at first and sec
ond bases. Darby and Johnston
i were left on bases in this inning.
-Keid tried his best to knock a
fly over the fence and did succeed
but it was a few feet outside of
the line for a fair ball. It would
have been a dandy one.
Mclntyre made another one of
those fine catches like he made in
Charlotte last Friday. This time
he ran probably further than ihe
time before. He ran as fast as
one could and succeeded in haul
ing it in on the end of his fingers.
At the ending of the fifth in
ning the score stood 2 to 0 in
favor of Concord: In the sixth
inning Caldwell made first
8ucceeded in stealing to third,
lox made a base hit and brought
Caldwell home. Bv some errn
on tbe part of the Pelzer team,
Fox, Weddington and Gibson also
scored in this inning, while Rog
ers and Oldham was left on the
bases.

CHARLIE LOWE KILLED.
A Horse Kicks Hfm On the Chin and
Dislocates the Spinal Column Dies
in About Four Hours Known Well
in Concord.
Misa Edna Lowe, who has been
visiting here at the home of Mr. 8
J Lowe, was apprised of the Bad
news Saturday evening that her
brother, Mr. Chas. Lowe, hud been
killed by the kick of a horse,
Mr. Lowe, in company with three
doctors, 8 topped at a house near
LowesYille, and were hitching their
horses. Mr: Lowo stepped to one
of the horses and rapped it as a sig
nal to near a tree in order that he
could hitch. The horse at once
kicked with both feet, striking Mr.
Lowe on the chin and throat, dislo
oatmg the spinal column. Death
resulted in about four hours.
From a correspondent to the Char
lotte Observer we notice that a short
time before the accident Mr, Lowe
had told Dr. Davidson that he felt
that some trouble was coming and
said that he felt uneasy.
Mr. Lowe is remembered by our
people here, having been in the
merchandising business here for
quite a while some years ago. He is
a nephew of our townsman, Mr. S J
Lowe. This is a very Bad death
and a shock no doubt to that com
munitj. Mr. Lowe was a most
good-natured young man and had
many friends.
A Shooting: Affair.
Sunday afternoon about 4.30
Spencer was surprised bv havinc
a shooting scrape. Two white
men, Tom Moore and Dick Soar-
nell, had a few words, it seems,
with each other some time ago.
Sparnell walked away to avoid
any difficulty " but was followed by
Moore, who, alter arming himself.
shot five times at Sparnell when
he came out of an office door. Two
of the bullets took efrect in the
body of Sparnell one , going
through the abdomen and the
other entering his back.
When last heard from Sparnell
was still living but is in a danger
ous condition. Moore made his
escape and has not been cancht
yet It seems that Sparnell was
wellx thought of by the railroad
... u
people but Moore is not possessed
ofa very good character.
