Baseball at TaZeweII.

A very large and at times enthusiastic
crowd were at the baseball grounds
north Of town on Wednesday afternoon
to witness the first game of the year to
be played at this place. The game was
between the Princeton, w. Va, team
and the team from TazeweI. At the
beginning of the contest it looked as if
the teams were very evenly matched,
as the score remained a tie up to the
sixth inning, but here the superiority of
the Princeton team was shown when bv
fast base running and timely batting
they sent two runners over the home
plate, cinching the game. After this
they added two more runs. one in the
eighth and one in the ninth. Several
opportunities to score were lost to the
Tazewell boys by their inability to con-
meet with the ball when a hit meant a
run. Notwithstanding the Tazewen
boys had not even practiced this season.
they acquitted themselves very credit
ably by several very fast plays. The
princeton team is a very strong one,
having won twelve straight victories.
and have been defeated but once. The
final score in Wednesdays game was.
Tazewell, 2, Princeton, g.

Battle Of Piedmont.

The Staunton Dispatch says: A
gentleman living in Staunton sent Major
William c. Sanders, of Wytheville, Vir-
ginis, copy of the Dispatch containing
an account of the battle of Piedmont.
Major Sanders m thanking him for
the paper says, "the article gives a cor
rect account of the battle as far as it
goes. 1t was my regiment, the Forty
fifth Virginia Infantry, which repulsed
the three or four successive charges
made by the enemy, and if there had
been as good regiment on the right
wing when they were charged, we would
have gained the day. Vaughn's Butter
Milk Rangers" were there, but they
didn't stay.
THE Forty-ffth regiment went into
this fight about seven hundred strong,
and only about one hundred and fifty
escaped.
We lost every field officer, including
the gallant Col. William H. Brown, who
was as brave and gallant an officer as
ever went into battle. He was West
Pointer, and came through the lines
after war had been declared. He
possessed all the elements of soldier,
and had his life been spared, would
have taken high rank"
Major Sanders was shot through both
lungs in this fight, and left upon the
the field as dead.
His life was saved by Miss Craw-
ford and negro woman, who in going
over the field discovered him, and
finding that he was yet alive, carried
him to her home at Willow Spout
Spring, where she nursed him back to
life and health. Enterprise
Three companies of the Forty-fifth
Virginia Infantry were from Tazewell,
as was Colonel Brown The editor of
this paper was in the battle of Pied
mont and was captured by the Federals.
He was private in the Forty-ffth Vir-
ginia Battalion, commanded by Col. H.
M. Beckley. Both Col. Beckley and Maj
Blake Woodson, second in command of
the battalion, were severely wounded.
The Sixtieth Virginia Infantry was on
the left of the Forty-fifth regiment,
then the Forty-ifth Battalion, with the
gallant Thirty-sixth Virginia Infantry
on the extreme left. All these regi-
ments were charged as repeatedly as
was the Forty-fifth, and they success
fully repulsed the enemy. After being
captured, the writer was taken directly
over the field where the enemy had
charged, and the killed and wounded
Federal soldiers were still on the ground
by the scores. The late Jessie White,
of Tazewell, was also captured in the
battle. He and the writer both made
their escape after they were taken to
Staunton. DIR. John S. Pendleton, who
was surgeon of the Forty-fifth Battalion
and who was right up on the lines caring
for the wounded while the battle was in
progress, is now at Tazewel visiting
his brother and other numerous rela-
tives.

SCALP TORN FROM HER HEAD.
Miss Martha Dunn Terribly Injured At
Bluefleid Friday.

Miss Martha Dunn, an employe of the
Daily Leader printing office, at Blue
field, W. Va, met with frightful ac-
cident on Friday the 18th instant. Her
hair was caught by a revolving shaft
and wound around it until the young
lady was lifted off the floor and the
scalp torn from her head. She was hur-
ried to hospital as rapidly as possible
where medical attention was rendered
her. Immediately after the accident
the scalp was removed from the shaft
and given to the physician, who gave it
the necessary treatment preparatory to
stitching it back upon the young lady's
head, in the hope that it will live.
Owing to the length of time required to
remove the grease that was accumu-
lated by coming in contact with the
oily shaft, the chances are that the
scalp will not take life again.
The young lady is in very serious
condition, but being of very sound
physique, leads the doctors to think she
will successfully withstand the extreme
pain to which she is subjected.

Among the number was John w. Camp

statement was for the paper until the
3rd of January, 1909, and behold he has
sent US a check to pay his subscription

for this base crime. There can be no
mercy for any one guilty of murder
or of aiding or abetting it, but the more
grave the crime the more serious is
the responsibility of deciding the
question of guilt and the more i'm
peratively the duty Of guarding against
injustice and wrong imposed under
pressure of public excitement, passion
and prejudice.

taken in honor to the Republican ma

BLIND TOM" IS DEAD.
Famous coIOred MUSICIAN Succumbs In
hoboken Home.

New York, June 14.-"Blind Tom, ,"
famous colored musician, marvel of
three generations of playgoers, died
yesterday in Hoboken, N. j., where he
had been living for years in retirement
and subsisting on charity. Thomas
Wiggins is the name given in his burial
certificate, but the surname was one
which the famous pianist adopted. He
was born slave near Columbus, Ga.
about 1850.
In early childhood Tom, who was born
entirely blind, and more than half
idiotic, showed himself remarkably
initiative, frequently stealing into the
house of his master to reproduce on the
pianoforte pieces he had heard played
by others. In 1861 he became so prof.
cient on the instrument that he was
taken to New York and exhibited as a
phenomenon, and later was widely heard
in the United States and Europe.
