Unknown Man Fou]ly Murdered.

Unknown Man Foully Murdered.
The county coroner, DR.. A. S.
Rose, was yesterday summoned.
out to Upchurch's mill, near Rae
ford, to hold an inquest over the
body of a man which had been
found in Big Rockfsh creek, un-
der peculiar circumstances. While
fishing Saturday j. II. McDoug
aid saw about foot under the
water the body Of man. An in
vestigation disclosed the fact that
the man had been murdered. His
throat had been cut from ear to
ear, his face slashed in a number
of places with a knife and his
body riddled with duck shot. He
was held under the water with
heavy weights, which consisted of
three large iron bars and a wagon
axle, tied around his neck and his
legs. He had been under the
water so long that he could not be
identified, the fish having partly
eaten him up.
DR.. Rose summoned a jury,
held M inquest, and the following
verdict was returned: "The de-
ceased. who is unknown to the
Jury, came to his death by the
criminal act OF person or per
sons unknown to the jury"
DR.. Rose says the deceased had
been dead about four or five weeks.
He says that many people in that
neighborhood think the body that

WORTH HIS WEIGHT IN LEAD!

THIS is THE EXACT VALUE OF ANY
DOG SUSPECTED OF CARRYING THE
GERMS OE THE RABIES, IF YOU
CAN'T KILL HIM WITH LESS
THREE KILLED THIS W EEK
A mad dog, supposed to have come
from Vass, appeared in our streets
last Sunday and played havoc with
the canine population besides spread
ing CONSERVATION among the people.
He attacked every dog in sight and
bit quite a number of them, several
of which have since been shot, and
many more of which ought to be shot
A number of citizens attempted to
kill the unWelcomed visitor during
the day and he was shot at many
times, but it was not until he got
between a cross fire from ] M. Tyson
and E. G. Couch, that he was finally
put to sleep near the depot. But this
was not accomplished until after he
had transmitted the germs of rabies
to no less than a half-dozen dogs in
the community. One fine hound, be-
longing to G. L. Edgerton and c.
Mcqueen was shot the same day, and
another valuable bitch, owned by the
same persons, was killed Tuesday. A
Newfoundland dog, the property of
DR.. Edwin G1adlnon, was at once
shut up III safe quarters by w. +.
Giles, where he can do no harm if he
should develop rabies. But se' eral
others which were seen fighting with
the mad dog, and which may have
been poisoned by him, are still run
ming at large, menace to the neigh
borhood. To meet this condition. the
town commissioners held a special
on Monday evening and adj
opted the following, which is section
24oo, of the laws of North Carolina,
as ordinance number As, of the town
of Southern Pines:
Whenever the owner of any dog
shall know, or have good reason to
believe, that his, or any dog belong,
ing to any person under his control,
has been bitten by maddog, and
shall neglect or refuse Immediately to
kill same, he shall forfeit and pay the
sum of fifty dollars to him who will
sue therefor and the offender shall be

An Ingenious Treatment by which Drunkards
are Being Cured in Spite of Themselves
Griggs courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1885-1902, 1901-08-08

The Cooperstown Club met an
other defeat at the hands of the Far
20 club in the latter place Tuesday
afternoon, the score being 4 1to1. I,
was evidently a good game as the
score would indicated. Hoar pitched
this game and Fargo only succeeded
in getting aye hits off him, all singles.
There was only on inning in which
more than one hit was made. Fargo
made no earned rur4s at all, the
scores being made through errors on
the part OF the club. These two
clubs have played six games and
Cooperstown has won four of the
series, WHICH is the long end of it by
long odds, Fargo is tickled to death
and Brewer is happy while we feel
tickled to death to get the long end
oft. This. is the last game between
the two clubs this season. This is
the correct version of the game not
withstanding the account in the Far
90 Call.

"a Heart Breaking Finish.

The e1ast" but not the best game
Of the season came off at the fair
grounds Monday at 8 p. M. between
Fargo and Cooperstown. It was
composite game, full Of good plays,
and critical points. Carney was in
the box for Cooperstown and pitched
great ball, in streaks, but was at times
wild, and couldn't locate the plate.
In the ed inning he hit Capt Hayes
in the back Of the head. It was a
fast ball, and put Hayes out entirely.
It was unfortunate for Fargo. as
Hayes would have taken several hard
drives which afterward went into left
field, Kelly took his place made a
nice throw to 1st Of drive which
looked safe and assisted in double.
Another pretty play was Neher's
capture of.a long fly on the run and
a perfect throw to first which result
ed in double.
Fargo started scoring early in the
game drawing two on Rose hit by
pitcher, two bases on balls and a
single Then Carney settled down
and shut them out by pretty work.
Fargo accumulated seven scores in
all but didn't earn one of them, the
error column being responsible for
every one, as they only secured 4
safe hits off Carney. Collier was
very affective at times, but the
boys had their batting clothes on
and secured eleven hits, Carney lead
ing with two, baggers and'a single.
Cooperstown tied the score IN the Sth
inning, Fargo went in and saw them
two better, and the prospects were
bright for their bagging the game but
Collier weakened, and a succession
of singles, with an error drove in the
tying run and then the winning
run, and the agony was over and
Cooperstown had bagged 1 out Of S
games.
The boys left on the afternoon
train for Fargo to play the last game
Of the season.

And give him his daily bread?"
So they drew up a protest long and

For the editor to peruse,
And they waited on him with aspect
grim,
As he solemnly dragged for news.
