Mr. .Richmond , Montgomery
"umpired the game and we are
glad to eay gave satisfaction.
Rogers scored the first run lor
our boys by a pass ball in the
"tirst inning. Malloy made a
beautiful catch in centre field of
Caldwell's fly, but Kogers re
turned the compliment in an
inning shortly afterwards. Rogers
and LaGrande scored in the third
inning. It's a treat to see La-
Grande shove a ball from hojne
to second similar to the one
which put down Finlayson. In
the fourth inning three of our
boys were on the bases and
things were most promising but
noonebutMisenheimer scored be
fore "side-up."
Cheraw failed to score until
the fifth inning, which run was
made by Malloy, the captain of
the team. Jn this same inning
Caldwell made a fine two-base
hit and scored on an error.
Mangum also scored. TVe failed
to score in the sixth. Rogers
as n earing home but was put
out between second and third. It
as LaGr ande's luck to be left on
third several times.

hit in the seventh, bringing
borne Evans, and also scoring
himself. This made them three to
our six. Caldwell made another
Wo-base hit in the eighth. Rog

tnre.
Today (Thursday) Coroner
Lentz
from
received the following letter
Mr. Chas. E Smith, mayor of Gold
Hill:
"There has been
a mysterious
death near this place just over the
line in yonr county. I belieye there
is sufficient evidence to conviot a
man of murder. I deem it your
doty to come here at once, hold an
inquest and determine whether or
not this woman came to her death
by foul or unfair means. I believe
this will be a disgrace to year conn
ty as well as to our State to be per
petrated and nothing to be done or
e&id. I aCam DTITA inn in nrsma I

here at once."
This was a negro woman who is
dead, and lived at the Isenhour mine.
Coroner Lentz left thip afternoon

shows this to be a disgraceful affair.
