Medal Contest.

A most enjoyable occasion was
the silver medal contest Friday
evening at the Cumberland Presby-
terrain Church, given by the Y. w.
c. T. o., of which Mrs. Charley
Dietzel is president. The medal
given by the union was competed
for by Misses Bessie Brown, Pauline
Cathey, Kathleen Reynolds, Ethel
Gilchrist, Jessie Harrison, Irene
Davis, Louise Mayors and Clare
Littleton.
The recitations delivered by the
contestants were on the line OF tenn
perance, the themes very interest
ing, and the delivery excellent,
eliciting praise and applause from
the vast audience which packed the
building. The judges were"Uncle"
Andy Lawson and Mesdames M.
Glasscock and S. w. Kendrick, who
had some difficulty in deciding to
whom the medal should be pre-
scented, but concluded that it was
merited by Miss Pauline Cathey, to
whom it was presented by Uncle
Andy in the pleasing, happy man
ner which always crowns his et-
forts at speech-making. A very
enjoyable feature of the occasion
was the more than excellent music
furnished by Mr.. Joe Mangum and
Miss Bessie Scates, the former on
the violin, accompanied by the lat
ter on the organ.
The Y. W. C. T. U. will prepare
another entertainment to be given
at an early date, which promises to
be as enjoyable as the one last Fri
day night.

A TERRIBLE CRIME.

Brother.
Dispute Over Crop Settlement.

Dispute Over Crop Settlement.
Tuesday about noon at the home
of w. H. Cunningham, one mile
south of Elbridge, his two sons, L.
N. and Gilmore, got into dispute
over crop settlement. In the war
of words T. N Cunningham made
disparaging remark about FL
more's wife, whereupon the latter
sprang up and picking up an iron
poker struck his brother over the
right temple, telling him to the
floor. The blow was fatal, and af-
ter lingering until six o'clock that
evening the wounded man died,
despite the skill of physicians.
The deceased was thirty-five
years of age and leaves wife and
tour children. He was a member
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, and highly respected. The
brother, who, in the heat of passion
slew him, is about twenty-three
years of age and leaves wife and
one child.
We learned these particulars
Wednesday about noon, at which
time there had been no arrest. The
fratricide made no effort to escape,
and is nearly crazed with grief over
his hasty action.
The murderer and his victim be-
ong to one of Oblon county's best
families, and have many friends,
who are gr1eved over their great
distress.
Mr.. W. H. Cunningham moved to
i've miles west of Troy from Lin
;oln county in 1870, lived there sew
eral years, and then moved to the
Ninth district.

Darlington Defeats Point.

Before a small crowd the home
high school foot ball team was taken
into camp by the Darlington eleven
on the fair grounds in this city, las.
Saturday afternoon, the final score
being y to 0.
Mineral Point kicked off to Oar
lington, who chose the east goal.
They started with line smashing tao
ties which Melted them big gains,
and in to 10 minutes, without losing
the ball, they made their first touch
down. Kicking the goal, the score
stood Darlington 6, Point 0. The next
touchdown was made in the same
half; Morrow circling right end for n
25-yard run and a touchdown. Here
the home team took a brace and the
playing from then on was on an
equal basis. Points backs bucked
the line for big gains time and time
again, and at one time carried the
ball from their own 80 yard line to
Darlington'S ten yard line and there
they lost it on tumble. The ball
was see-sawed up and down the field
during all the last half. The home
boys are to be complimented on the
plucky fight they put up to tho last,
but the ragged team work showed
lack Of practice. The experience of
seven games this fall (this was Min
eral Points second real game) and
daily practice against a scrub eleven
made itself evident in the strong
formations of the Darlington back
field. Several times the crowd be-
came too enthusiastic and crowded
over the side lines and interfered
with the plays, which once or twice
resulted disasterously for our boys.
