Baseball Mt Glover.
An interesting game of baseball was
played at Clover last Friday after
noon between the Clover and Bethel
teams. 1t was interesting not because
of any specially brilliant features, but
because Of the fact that both teams
were composed of "home talent" and
the game was played throughout In
the best of good humor. The score
was 12 to 8 In favor Of Clover. Mech
Smith umpired about half the game
and John NJ. Smith, who was disabled
by ball thrown by Bethel's pitcher,
Ross Clinton, was forced to give up his
place in centre field, rendered the de-
cisions until the close Of the contest:
Several years ago Linden Smith was
considered the peer Of any player In
this section, behind the bat. On FRI
day he could not resist the temptation
to take hand in the game and occu-
pied the right field. About the fourth
inning, he went to the bat and knocked
a ball out towards the third base and
started to first. The ball was thrown
to first, but thrown wild and missed,
which enabled the runner to make sec
ond, just before the ball wes thrown
there and missed and this enaOled him
to make the home plate. This expert
ence furnished him sufficient amuse-
ment for one time, and he Immediate
ly induced a substitute to take his
place and retired from the game. Bat
teries: For Glover, Sam, and Tom
Beamguard, and for Bethel. Ross Clfn-,
ton and Ferguson. The game was wit
messed by about $50 people, including a
goodly number of the fair sex. 81
sandbagged In Charlotte.
Last Friday afternoon a; young man
was found lying by the roadside two
miles from Charlotte, In an, uncon-
scious condition, says an Associated
Press dispatch. He was brought to:
the city hospital and there he died an
hour later. The coroner's inquest has
developed q case Of murder and rob
berry. The dead body was identified as
that Of Newton Lanier, Of Fort Mill,
s. c., and volunteer in the Spanish
war, who went to Cuba in a company
from this city. It transpires that La
nier was given knockout drops at q
house Of ill-fame and was afterwards
sandbagged and robbed Of his watch,
and $50 in cash. Lanier came here on
Friday morning on his way to Glover.
8. c., to visit his father. While watt
ing for his train, he was met by three
men, one Of whom gave his name as
Chas. Lyle, of Knoxville, Tenn, and
lured him to the house OF q woman OF
the town, where he was piled with liz
quor and afterwards doped and later
on, ,sandbagged. Lyle had openly boast
ed to one Of the women Of his intention
to do" his victim. The suspected men
are said to be gamblers who came here,
during the flremen's celebration two
weeks ago: It is believed that Chas.
Lyle Is an assumed name. The police
have a good description Of all three
and their arrest is probable.
Captured blockade Distillery.
u. 8. Deputy Marshal r. H. Dobson
captured a blockade distillery near
Barber's bridge, In Kings Mountain
township, last Friday night. He was
accompanied by Messrs. p. w. Love
and w. N. Ashe. The outfit was loca-
ted in small rayine, and consisted Of
60 gallon still In good condition; and
720 gallons of beer. There was no
whisky to be found in the vicinity; but
the still, which was encased In q rock
foundation, was too hot to be ham
died comfortably. Whisky had been
made during the day. The name Of the
owner or owners OF the outfit is a mat
ter Of speculation; but Deputy Dobson
has pretty strong information on the
subject that will probably lead to an
arrest ,i. 80 ~ -
