Game On Today
Shelby Playing Bessemer City Here
In First Championship
Came.
The first game in the state Cham*
plonship series In class B Is being
played In Shelby today with the
local team opposing Bessemer City.
Forest (ity Good.
Should Shelby win today the lo
cals will play Forest City here next
Friday in the second game of the
series which will decide the group
championship. If Bessemer City
wins today Bessemer and Forest
City will play at Forest City next
Friday. Scores of games played so
far this season Indicate that Foreet
City has one of the strongest trams
In the state and will make a hard
fight for the championship which
Shelby won last year, A favorite
prediction Is that the winner of the
championship in this group, which
will likely be Forest City or Shelby
with Forest City holding the odds,
will represent the west in the title
game at Chapel Hill. Forest City has
two victories over Shelby this sea
son, but If the local team wins to
day. the Shelby players hope for an
upset In the next contest.

Walter lawman. No Sure
Cine.
Morganton, April 23.—The body
of Walter Lowman, young white j
man, who lived With his sister. Mrs. j
Texie Bradshaw, at Brldgepjrt, six j
miles east of Morganton, was found I
beside the railroad track just above j
the overhead bridge near his oome <
this morning shortly after 6 o’clock
by Section Foreman Watts. He had
evidently been dead for hour.;
Since there were some evidences
of foul play Sheriff Ross had the
body brought to Morganton and this
afternoon Coroner G. M. Billings
performed an autopsy and conduct
ed an extensive examination of the
wounds on the body and the cir
cumstances surrounding the case
The coroner's Jury returned a ver
dict late this afternoon that Low
man came to his death wrhen hit oy
a train.
The autopsy revealed the fetal
wound to have been just under the
left, arm pit. It had the appearance
of having been inflicted by a long
sharp knife. Tire victim s sweater
was cut where It went In, se/eral
ribs broken, and another woun:i ap
pearing under the shoulder blail'*
There Is still strong suspicion In the
minds of some of foul play though ■
no tangible evidence was produced.
IiQwman was last seen when he
left the home of Mr. and Mrs.
George ..Hollar, near Bridgeport
about 8 o'clock last night, presum
ably to return to his sister’s home,
which would have necessitated hts
crossing the rallroadd.
