The charge of harboring a miner ' brought into the court room a number of the Indians or Issues who reside down near Ransom's bridge. The trouble between this clanish group occurred over the fact that Clarence Evans had left his father, Aurese Evans, and gene to live with Johnnie Hedgpeth.

The score was 20 1-2 to 9 1-2. Although the home team has chalked up as many victories as any of the other towns which have participated in the tournament, Warrenton is net regarded as the winner of the cup which Henderson^ Roanoke Rapids and Louisbtirg have also been striving to" capture. The cup goes to the team which has the largest number of points to its credit. Henderson <s , regarded as the winner, however, victory has not yet been definitely j conceded the Vance county team. ] The only game Warrenton lost during the tournament was the . first match of the year when the ' locals were trounced by the Henderson team on the Vance links. When Henderson came to Warrenton for a game the Warrenton boys won the honors of the afternoon, but they failed to pile up as large a score as did the Henderson team v when Warrenton played there. In the match here Wednesday ; afternoon with Roanoke Rapids, M. C. McGuire made the best score among members of the two teams. He finished the two rounds of play with a 79. However, W. T.
