POOR BALL.

There was no excuse for the Grand
Junction ball team coming home from
Glenwood Springs yesterday a loser
of the game, had the Glenwood UNI
pire the characteristics of an umpire,
who render decisions without bias. 1t
is not rare thing ANYMORE to see
eminently fair umpires in the Nation
al league games. 1t takes a man of
small mind to stand ON a field and
render decisions that even make his
own side blush.
The home boys led until the fifth
inning the score being to l in their
favor. In the last half of this in
ming while Glenwood boy was steal
ing second he was touched by Hayes
with the ball in his hand, who as
short stop was covering second base,
when the umpire, Barlow rendered a
decision of 'safe. - when it was ap-
parent to everyone ON the field that
the Glenwoodite was out. This so
enraged Hayes that in fit of anger
he threw the ball down and permitted
the Glenwood team to tie the home
| team.
While the umpire was to blame for
making such rotten decision, yet
there is no excuse for Hayes giving an
exhibition of anger. Had he done
such thing with any we'll regulated
ball team. his name would be Den
MIS- in a trice after the commission of
the act. When ball player is ON the
field to play ball he must have no
feelings which are liable TO be wound
ed or nerves that cannot stand such
an unfair decision as was given the
| Glenwood team. Hayes is a good
player. but he or no other man ON a
team is warranted in sacrificing a
game for petulancy's sake.
1t was an easy matter for the Glen
wood team to win after this inning
as the home team was demoralized.
Richardson and st. Clair was the
battery for the home team and they
did splendid work. They deserve
much praise.
Goodman in left field is good all
around man and it is pleasure to see
him at his work.
The score at the close of the game
was IL to 6.

COLD FLOODED MURDER.

There was a peculiarly cold-blooded
murder in the Swamptown section OF
Yorkville last Saturday night. 1t was
perpetrated by a Negro named Lee
Hardin and his victim was Negro
woman of bad character from Gasto-
MIA, who went by the name OF Belle
Watson. Both parties were drunk, the
man crazy drunk.
According to the facts, about which
there seems to be no dispute, Hardin,
who was watchman at the Victor Cot
ton Oil mill, went to the house Of the
woman near by and asked her to go to
the oil mill with him. There was an
other Negro man in the house and she
refused. Hardin applied an epithet to
her and she returned 1t, with another
supposed to be Of more severe degree.
Several epithets were thus exchanged.
Hardin had already threatened to shoot
the woman and suiting the action to
the threat, fired. -.
The bullet which was from a 3S-cal-
ibre pistol, took effect in the woman's
forehead, just about the edge OF her
hair, and she fell over dead without a
groan. The flame from the pistol blis-
tered her skin and the powder black
ened it. Hardin remained in.:the To-
cality for a few minutes and then
went away. -. - =;
When the Sheriff arrived on the
scene, about a'half hour after the
shooting, no trace Of the Negro could
be found. 1t has since been learned,
however, that he was within two hum
dred yards Of the body Of his victim
until o'clock next morning. He was
too drunk to travel and lay concealed
in a clump of bushes. Sheriff Logan,
Deputy Sheriff Sandifer and Policemen
Love and Whitener hunted for him
during Sunday, Sunday night and on
Monday; but got no satisfaction be-
yond a pretty warm trail.
The woman who was killed was seen
on the streets Of Yorkville during Sat-
urday afternoon, in a drunken condi-
tion and making herself quite conspic-
uous. Her body was buried at the ex-
pense of the town during Sunday.

BROUGHT TO A HALT.
Tilman Trial at a Standstill Because
of Sick Juror.


BY telegraph to The Enquirer:
LEXINGTON, S. c., October 6.-When
court met this morning to resume the
case against James H. Tillman, Juror
Milton Sharp was sick in bed with bill
lious fever.
Judge Gary SEM for DR.. James ],
Wingard, to make personal inquiry, In
open court, as to his condition.
DR.. Wingard said that he could not
tell how long it would take for the
juror to be able to appear in court i;
that he may be we'll enough tomorrow;
but that it may be several days. AL
together the condition Of the juror Is
uncertain.
Judge Gary announced that he would
adjourn court until tomorrow morn
ing, and then If the absent juror Is not
able to be in court, counsel can discuss
the course to be pursued.
Until tomorrow, nothing will be done
except take a recess to see what
change, If any comes over the sick
juror
Mr. Sharp has been i'll since Sunday.
He has been subject to similar attacks,
and they have generally lasted from
three to four days.
The jury is composed of men who
have always been accustomed to ac-
tive outdoor life, and the confinement
is telling on all Of them. Except for
short walks, they have been kept In
big room over a; store taking their
meals in a restaurant.
Col. Tillman and his counsel are very
anxious about the condition Of Juror
Sharp. They had expected to close
their case by the end of the week.
If Juror Sharp does not get better,
there will probably be no other way
for it than for the court to order a
mistrial. AUGUST KoHN.

other step and he would have gained
the opening. The shot was fired before
the step was taken. Mrs. Melton
claimed that ,she was perfectly clear
about everything up to the time of the
shooting; but after the shooting was
too excited to be clear about anything.
She said Gonzales did not speak to
Tillman or even look at him.
Mrs. Melton's testimony conflicted

position Of the three men. That OF

Senator Talbird and seemed to corro-
borate the testimony Of Mrs. Melton.

lation Of the Tillman family, was the
first witness offered by the defence
She was allowed to testify before the
State had closed its case, as she had
to return to New York on the after
noon train.
Her testimony was chiefly on the
point of Mr.. Gonzales's feelings to-
wards Col. Tillman. 1t happened that
Capt R. E. Elliott, an uncle Of Mr.. N
G. Gonzales, was a patient at the hos
pital at which Miss Roper was the as
sistant superintendent. 1t was while
at this hospital and during Mr.. Con-
zales's visits to his sick uncle that
Miss Roper claims that Mr.. Gonzales
had the conversations regarding Col
Tillman.
Mr.. Gonzales, Miss Roper stated
knew Of her relations and friendship to
the Tillman family at the time Of his
conversations.
did he (Mr. Gonzales) say anything
else about Mr. Tillman-what he made
him do?" asked Col. Croft.
To this Miss Roper replied: "Mr
Gonzales asked me If I considered Col
Tillman a brave man. told him
certainly did. and he said he did not;
that he had made Mr.. Tillman .sho"
the white feather twice, and that Col
Tillman had challenged him to two
duels, which he did not acknowledge
that Col. Tillman had no more resent
ment about him than to come In the
hotel lobby and offer him a cigar
which he declined"
WAS it upon one or several occa-
sions that you heard him speaking OF
Mr.. Tilman in this derogatory man
ner?"
1T was upon several occasions
Miss Roper answered.
Miss Roper said that during Mr.
Gonzales's visit to the hospital he
spoke of Col. Tillman as a william. a
gambler and a coward.
Miss Roper was a very reserved
and good witness.

The New York Sun was responsible
for the story that President Roosevelt
refused to attend the exercises at the
opening Of the City College Of New
York because former President Cleve-
land was to be present and make a
speech. The president has thought the
matter important enough to require a
formal denial Of the story. We are In
c1ined to think that the Sun has been
preparing for this story long time.
More than once during the past few
weeks, it has made editorial reference
to the prospective occasion, and always
has remarked the expectation Of the
joint appearance Of Roosevelt and
Cleveland, with an emphasis that in
dicated some underlying purposes. In
it's report that the president had re-
fused to appear because Of Cleveland's s
presence, the Sun makes this observa-
ton: Political wise men who were at
the ST. Louis exposition ceremonies
said that Mr. Cleveland got altogether
too many cheers to suit some friends

predicted, he went in and bought up
the options for September cotton
which was sold freely by the specula-
tive element in the market, which look
ed for a sharp break in the month";

contracts. This short interest was
much more extensive than the general
market had any idea Of. How many
