Steer Bull-Dogged By Morrison in New Picture- In "Cowboy Grit.” Pete Morrison's thrilling western, which comes (o the Concord Theatre today, there is a scene that will long be remember ed by picture-goers as one. of the most exciting and hair-raising ever filmed. Betty Goodwin, who plays the leading 'eminine role, is menaced by a bad steer. Riding pell mell to her rescue. Pete Morrison on Lightning, his famous horse, leaps from the animal's back to the neck of the steer, catches his powerful horus and bulldogs him to the ground. Tele cut the finish pretty fine and it was a mighty scared young lady that sat down then and there to get her breath back. Betty Goodwin has won a firm plaiv in the heart of Pete Morrison by her courage and daring, her re markable riding and ability to stand hardships. She was born in Kentucky of a family prominent in the Blue Grass country and certainly had no idea that ,she would ever be a star in Western thrillers. Now. however, she is a real Western girl and proud of it. Pete Morrison, who discovered her latent talents as an outdoor star, says “She's the gamest girl 1 1 know." | To Conduct Music School at First i Baptist Church. I Prof. It. I. Johnson. A. 8..

Baseball, in th« days of yore, seenfa to have been a favorite sport at Co*- . cord. For example, in 1875, a loegl team was a terror to opposing nines - aud seems to have cut a wide swaffii throughout the state. In telling of the game he saw in ■ Charlotte 50 years ago, John M. Hen drix spoke of the pitcher being John : It. Patterson, who now lives on (toy bin street. Mr. Patterson still h*s ■ the paper in his possession giving an account of the game Mr. Hendrix wif ■ nessed. One correction should have been made, says Mr. Patterson. The por tions of Phifer and Patterson should have been reversed in the account of the game. The large crowd which as sembled was. according to Mr. Hen drix, about 200 persons. The account of the game from the Charlotte Observer, of July 31, 1875, follows: "We have met the enemy, and we are theirs.” Yesterday was the day for the match game of baseball be tween the Lone Nine Club, of Con cord, and the Centennial Nine, of this city. Just before the time for the game to begin, a heavy wind pre vailed. accompanied by a small amount of rain, which cooled the atmosphere, and rendered the afternoon much more pleasant than was expected. In ad dition to this, the sun remained un der the clouds nearly the whole time while the game was in progress and, there was not that oppression front heat which the players expected. Quite a large crowd had assembled on the Fair Grounds, where the game was played, before the contest began. Through the kindness of Cnpt. 1V; \V. Peg vain, a train was run from the C. C. &A. Depot,.fo the Fair Ground, and a number of persons went out op this. We will say right here that we are requested by the members of the Centennial Niue, to retprn their tlutnka to Captain P for the courtesy thus extended them. Among the spectators on the grounds, were several ladies, and all present 'manifested the great est interest in the game. The Lone Nine Cinb wore a uniform, consist ing ot blue hat with white baud, blup shirt with the figure 9 on the breast, and a leather belt with the positiqji tis each player indicated on it. The Centennial Nine was not uniformed. The toss for ins and outs seat the Lone Nine to the bat. and the Centen nials took the field. The following were the positions of the outs: CENTENNIAL NINE. Players Runs (.Hit* Eagle. C. 1 5 Rrem, P. 0 5 Hand. S. S. . 2 3 ltigler. Ist B. 2 4 Brockenborough, 2nd B. 2 2 Moss. 3rd B. 14 Miller, K ,M„ Jr., L. F. 4 l Miller, C„ C. F, 4 1 Trczevant, R. F. 1 2 Total 17 27 The interest began with the first inning, aud the first noticeable play was a foul ball, knocked by Cook, caught by Moss. This play was greet ed with applause from the spectators. Some very pretty fielding was subse quently done iu the ame inning, when three were put out on a tty which was kqpcked by Misenheinter and caught. Ou the first inning the Lone Nine made three runs. When the Centennials came to the bat they were put out by 3 strikes by Eagle and 3 balls pitched to Hand and Breiu. The following were the positions <,f the Isone Niue Club. and their score: LONE NINE | Players Runs Outs Murr, C. 5 2 Phifer. P. 4 4 Patterson. S. S. 6 4 ‘ Henderson. Ist. B. 6 1 ■ Caldwell. 2nd. B. 8 1 1 Deaton. It. P., 3rd B. 6 3 Misenheimer, L. F. 5 3 Cook, C. F. 7 2 , Deaton. J. R, F. 4 5 I Total, 49 27 Perhaps the most successful play was made by Brockeuborough, wlko made home on his own ball. A beau tiful double play was made on the fourth inning, while the Centennials were at the bat. by Henderson and Caldwell. Several fine catches were made, soma very difficult ones, by I members of both dubs. The best r Adding done ou the past of the Oen tennials, was by Brockenborough, 2nd R, Rigler, Ist b., and Eagle, c. Os >the Dine Niue, Phifer, p., Murr c„ I and Misenheimer. It Phifer is the finest pitcher we ever saw ; he catches, y too, as weß as he pitches, and his play * ing as either would be creditable to a professional. Brockenborough is the * brag player of the Centennial, his ‘ splendid watching and easy bearing 1 elicited encomiums from every ones 1 W. L. Boyd, of Charlotte, was um -1 filre; Geo. M, Phifer, of Charlotte,. and T. H. Cannon, of Concord, seoiv 1 *rs. ■ r It was a bad beat: the Centennial 1 ,Nine saw from the first inning how ' the game would eventuate, and lost 1 spirit. There was, therefore, some 1 very careless playing on their part. 1 They bore their defeat well, however, and yielded up the laurels right graee -1 fully. So far inferior are they to their adversaries, that they have con ; eluded not to play the remaining two games (two best in three) and gave the ball and bat to the Lone Nine Club, with a challenge to play them, another match game on the 23rd of September. The very best of feeling prevailed throughout the game and afterwards, ! and we think our Concord friends can And io fault* with their treatmentl] while here. We cannot compliment their playing too highly; there is no hap-hazard about it; they play scien tifically. They field better than they bat. and if a ball goes anywhere in the neighborhood of one of them, it is taken in. We have no idea that its equal can be found in the State. At the conclusion of the game and : the announcement of the result, three cheers each were proposed and given, for the I.oae Nine, the Centennial Nine, the captain of each nine, the um pire and others. The visiting club, with two or three exceptions, left for borne last night, with shouts of rejoicing on tfieir, lip* as tlie train moved out of the city, j They were accompanied by about 35 of their townsmen, who were as much elated at their success as were the members of the club themselves.

Aug. 14.—Any buying power created by the unexpectedly low -condition anil crop figures pub lished by the department of agricul ture last Saturday, was evidently ex hausted on the comparatively moder- i ate advance of Monday morning. De- i ceenber contracts, which had dosed at 24.38 just before the appearance of the government crop report, advanced to 24.38 when the market re-opened for business Monday, but the demand was evidently satisfied at this figure i and prices weakened later in the week owing to improved weather reports ! from (be southwest and hope that the i eastern belt crop would escape any very serious damaged from the boll weevil. December sold off to 23.39 during today’s trading, making a decline of nearly a cent a pound from Monday's high level and the lowest price j. touched by that delivery In the mar ket here since the middle of last ' May when it sold at 21.72. Accord in* to local brokers the two chief i factors on this decline of about 2 1-4 i cento per pound from the high price I of late last month, have been a hope that the crop will turn out larger i that indicated by the condition as of i August Ist aud expectations of a i rapid .increase in the new crop move- * meat accompanied by hedge selling < from the. Houth. ’The talk of probable heavy early ) receipt* was encouraged by the cen- i au* report showing about 150,000 i bale* of cotton gianed prior to Augnst Ist, while the tendency to look for 1 a crop in excess of the official iotß- I cation of 13,5(162)00 bales was pro moted by a belief that the Aucuot Ist i condition failed to fuUy reflect the < lata July rains in the western belt, ] and that boll weevil were doing less 1 than the apprehended damage east of i the Mississippi River.

Several traps were laid for him but he escaped arrest until Jan uary 18th. Police, acting on information that Chapman was at the Hance home, surrounded the place and after sev eral hours, saw him appear. Two officers fell in step behind him, while an automobile load of officers drove up to him. As one of the of ficers alighted from the car. Chapman whipped out a pistol and opened fire. The shots were wild, however, and the officers overpowered him. Chapman was taken to the local jail and later turned over to federal officials and rushed to Indianapolis in order to forestall any efforts by his associates to engineer a delivery. Chapman, when questioned by of ficials at Indianapolis regarding the various criminal exploints credited to him after his escape, remained silent. He muttered continually, however, regarding "the people who turned me up for blood money." The shooting occurred after Mr. and Mrs. Hance met Anderson, who local officials say, was accompanied by at least two other men on' the Middletown pike, a main highway a few miles west of Muneie shortly be fore 5 o'clock this afternoon —pre- sumably by appointment The firing started at the conclusion of a parley, police believe. Another version of the story is that Anderson and his gang were trailing the Hances all afternoon and that they were shot after the pair had sought to throw their pursuers off the trail. Tracks in tke road lead po lice to the conclusion that both Hance and his wife and at least three of the gunmen were standing in the road when the shooting occurred. One other man of the gang is sup posed to have been Charles "One Arm" Wolfe, of Mancie, known to have been a friend of Chapman and Anderson. Early this afternoon Hance and his wife started to this city to visit Mrs, Hanee’s father. It is believed that the Anderson gang picked up the trail a few minutes after the Hances drove from their home. If this is the case there was no '■ appointment. Police refused to deny , <fr confirm either report of the affair, ] saying they have definite clues Which would undoubtedly lead to the arrest of the mruderers within a few hours. One bullet penetrated Mrs. Hance’s skull, killing her imtantly. Two more shots struck Hanee in the ab domen and be fell mortally wounded. The assailants are believed to have leaped into their automobile and to have beaded west towards Anderson. After lie was shot, Hance managed to crawl down the-road and into a corn field. A few minutes later, a passing motorist coming upon Mrs. Hances body "In the middle of tlie road and seeing the abandoned auto mobile, stopped to investigate. He heard Hanee’s feeble cries for help and picking him up rushed him to it hospital, where be died. The killing occurred almost in front of the Charles Cromer farm and ( Cromer was an eye-witdife *to the tragedy.
