A BROKEN HEAD
is WHAT BEN HUBBARD HAS
THIS MORNING
He HAY DIE FROM TIE blow
a Rolling Alley Row-The Assaii"nf
ArrcSicd-And IN NOW In JaiI-The
Mans Wounds Are Dangcrou-Both
Men are Well known to ihe Police.

Chorles Otey, IL man OF very ques-
tionable character, struck Ben Hub
bard on the head yesterday afternoon
about $3.50 o'clock, in the bowling
alley of Poteet L. Co on First avenue.
Both men were drinking. They
had quarrel earlier in the afternoon
and few blows were struck, but the
affair wos settled and friends thought
it was done with, but about the time
mentioned Otey again began abusing
and cussing Hubbard, it is alleged,
and they went back in the rear of the
saloon to settle it. Otey went out
into the yard, bnt Hubbard stayed il
the house and WAS talking through
the window. After squabbllng for
some time, Hubbard, it is stated.
reached down on the alley and got Il
ball with the intention Of hitting
Otey, who warned him to stop as he
advanced toward him. Hubbard did
not stop and Otey threw the stone
withSgreat violence, striking the man
on the left side of the head, Just above
the temple.
The wound is a most horrible one.

full nerve. After he had been struck,
although his head was broken IN sew
eral places, he made no stop, but kept
on towards Otey, who threw another
stone at him, which struck him in the
breast. Hubbard then turned, went
back into the bar and called for Il
drink He then went over to DR..
Firey's Office and he, assisted by Drs.
Stone and Henry, dressed the wound.
As soon as Mr.. Poteet was informed
of the affair, he went out in search OF
Otey and found him on Railroad
avenue. When he saw the gentleman
coming Otey took to his heels and
went in the direction of the West End,
and Mr. Poteet gave up the chase.
The man did not keep on, however,
out Of town, but as soon as it was
dark enough, sneaked back to the
barroom and secreted himselfin one OF
the upper stories. Some one saw him
enter the building and the police
were informed and officers Jones and
Tillman arrested him. After the jail
had been reached, Otey became so
violent that double irons were put on
him and he was chained TO the floor.

ter, living on First street, ). &, and
Dtcv. il is said. j. regular tough
Hubbard will probably die.

Professor L. R. Holland, superintend-
emf of Roanoke county public schools,
was at Vinton yesterday in confer.
ence with the district school
board in regard to the addition to be
built onto the school building at that
place. 70 TINES reporter Profess

this new portion are now being
drawn up, and would be Inspected 9y
enlarge the lower floors, and also to
build another story on the present
building. rhe school is in such a
healthy condition, and the school
population is increasing so rapidly,
that it will be absolutely impossi-

THE GAME YESrERDAY.
Lots OF Fun fur Tie Boys Saturday.
..Piay Ball..

There was lots OF fun at Riverside
Park yesterday afternoon, at the ball
of game between the koanokes ana
Virsinias. At 40 o'clock, Umpire
Walter Rudwell yelled, play ball. y
in a voice that could plainly be heard
on dead head hill, and from that time
until the game was called the 3oo
spectators had great amusement. The
boys are beginning to play good Dali
and nearly all the players had nice
PLAYS to their credit. Cobb, the
pitcher for Roanoke, played an eX
cellent game, and although this was
his first game this season, only one
scratch hit was made from him; that
by Gray in the fourth inning, and he
had twelve strike outs. The Roam
okes got twelve hits from Fatty Da-
Wis. and several of them, notably keef-
er's. were corkers. Three errors were
charged TO the big fellows, Brodie's
column, showing two and Cobbs one.
Brodie's two were both eXcusable, as
he had long run and took desperate
chances. If Beck had played his posi-
ton properly, no error would have
been charged to Cobbs' account.
A beautiful triple play was made
in the eighth. Gray knocked hot
liner, with whiskers on it, to Brodie.
who fielded the ball cleanly to Sproul
at second, and he in turn his man out
at first.
Mr.. Budwell, the umpire, was struck
in the forehead by pitched ball in
the seventh inning, which stretched
him at full length on the ground, but
he quickly jumped up and called a
ball" on the pitcher, while the
bleachers yelled at his pluck.
The features of the game were the
three-bagger of Alex. Brodie and the
excellent work of Cobb in the box.
The boys are getting in good shape.
and handled themselves with some of
their old time vigor. Assistant
Manager Patterson, of last years
Roanokes, is going to manage the
Virginias this season. They played
fairly well yesterday and got the ball
up in good shape. The score was 10
to3 in favor of the Roanokes.

THE COAST LINE.
COL. CROKER INTERVIEWED ON
THE SUBJECT.
The San Jose Conventions Proposition to
Be Laid Before President Huntington
Without Delay.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-Colonel G..
F. Crocker was interviewed today in re-
gard to the completion of the
coast line, as desired by the
San Jose convention. He said ::
"Our directorate desires to have
the coast line completed. The San
Jose convention offers us a free right-of-
way for the entire uncompleted portion
of the coast road, and per cent. interest
for three years on a mortgage bond debt
OF $4,000 900, the estimated cost for COM
pleting the line. The offer of free
rlght-ot-way is the most valuable part
OF this, and will be an important factor
IN our dellberation as to commencing
work at Ellwood gap. AS to accepting
cash subsidy of any kind, the company
is not disposed to do so. At the present
time we are not able to put out the
amount OF cash that will be required to
build the road unless we see reasonable
prospects of the road paying from the
start. Ii, on thorough re-examination
there is found a. probabil,
ity of having TO sell the bonds much be-
low par, small prospects of local traffic at
the start and few chances for the rapid
development of local traffic within five
years, and not a reasonable show of
the line paying interest on its bonded
debt, | would be disinclined to begin
construction or accept a subsidy even in
the form of guarantee of three per
cent interest on SO, 500, 900 for three years.
But if the bonds can be sold at
a reasonable figure we are willing to
start construction work. Under those
circumstances the probable failure of
the stock OF road paying dividends is no
hindrace. Mr.. Huntington will be con-
suited Immediately on the San Jose con-
vention proposition, so that the COM
pany's action in the matter can be as
certained shortly.
