DISASTROUS fire
At PIKEVILLE
The Pope Brick and Adjacent
Stores Burned.
LOSS ESTIMATED AT $4,000
Very Little Insurance Carried
Owing to High Rates
of Companies.

PIKEVILLE, Tenn, April 5.-Fire
caused clear loss of SEQ, 900 or more,
in Pikeville this morning. The Pope
brick, the building in which the Citi-
zen bank is located, the Ferguson
grocery, Poston's drug store and W.
A. Browns general store were the
sufferers. The buildings were all
burned. The only insurance was $2,-
600, which was on the stock of w. A.
Brown. The Peoples bank which was
in the fire zone escaped. The loss is
estimated today at fully 500, 600, and
may exceed that amount. The small
insurance is explained by the extra
hazard which has been placed on the
frame business houses by the insurance
companies and the lack of fire fighting
facilities. Many insurance companies
have had Pikevilles frame stores on
the prohibited list, and when their
rate has been named it has been SC
high as to practically prohibit.
Among the property destroyed was
the house formerly occupied by the no
torious John A. Murell.
The "Our Store CO. was also burn
ed out but most of the stock saved. A
big sale was being conducted for the
store by J. @. Ketner, of Victoria.

Interesting Law Suit.

A law suit that has been the source
of much talk among citizens of this
place was tried Saturday at the Town
Hall before Squire w. s. Wilson,
'Squires Dan Pitman, of Caroline
Chapel, and W. J. johnson, of Jasper,
assisting. 1t was suit brought by
Mrs. Lula Martin, of Chattanooga, to
eject w. A. Chadwick from her prem
ises. Her reasons for ejectment were
that she could rent the house to anoth-
er party, who had offered a higher rent
for it. so we understand. Mr.. Chad
wick, thereupon demanded a settle
ment and made claim for money paid
to Mrs. Martin and improvements
made to the place. Unfortunately few
receipts had been taken by either par
ty, and there was very little to prove
the claims represented. Finally the
matter was sifted down to be differ
ence of a little over eleven dollars,
with claim by Mr.. Chadwick for a
years engagement of the house dating
from Jan. |. The justices could not
agree, at first, but after long confer
nee, decided that NJ. Chadwick should
remain in the house and that up to
ADIll lSb, uO OmOu 4ldl OAlA hNO
cents. Mr.. Chadwick was not satisfied
with this, claiming that besides his
lawyer fees he was still out about ST.,
and proposed to take it to higher
court, but finally, at a meeting at
Squire Wilson Saturday night com
promise was effected, whereby he was
allowed one months rent, or five dol
lars of the amount he claimed due him,
and possession of the house till Octo-
Der with right to leave any products
he may have in his garden in same
until gathering time. The five cents
difference still remaining was present
ell to Mrs. Martin by one outside the
controversy in order to set the ball roll
ing towards peace. Agreements were
drawn up and signed by three good
witnesses. The case has almost been
nine-days' wonder and has been .
source of much trouble to the parties
concerned, and is much to be regretted
B. E. Tatum of represented Mr.
Chadwick, while Mrs. Martin had M
lawyer.

TRACY CITY, Tenn, April. w.
p. Roberts, brother of K. B. Roberts,
superintendent of the Tennessee Con-
solidated Coal Company, died at the

WhitweII. 10; Jasper. 5.

After pitching rafting good game
against South Pittsburg Friday Davis
of the Pryor Institute team, Jasper, es-
well Saturday, but weakening in the
eighth inning, allowed the visitors to
take the lead after close and exciting
contest. Two close decisions on bases
in same inning caused the P. |. team
to leave the field, although both decis-
ions were ON plays of the closest char
acter, and extremely difficult to de-
eide
The game was opened in sensational
style with Jasper at the bat, and bril-
liant catches by Anderegg and Beene
helped to make the inning very brief
Whitwell also went out in quick order.
Jasper scored in the third inning, and
Whitwell tied, and in the fifth took
two more Jasper rallied in the sew
enth and eighth, getting two each
time, but Whitwell rallied in their
half of the eighth, getting six runs,
when Jasper abandoned the game with
two ont, Davis being touched up pret-
| ty severely.
The work of Beene at second for
Whitwell was of the star order, and
done without an error. Anderegg at
short was also good. Brock pitched a
good game, and while touched up more
+, frequently than Davis previous to the
eighth inning, was given fine support.
"Toad" Barber caught fine game,
! and Hicks in center, made several fine
catches.
For Jasper Brewer played rattling
game at third base and hammered out
a three base hit and two 2-base hits.
johnson and Tate also got 2-base hit
apiece. Davis made fine stop of a
screeching liner, and Stewart did some
neat work at short, catching runners
by swift throwing.
An incident that marred the game
was some sharp talk between the um.
pire, B. E. Tatum, and Supt. Meagh.
er, of the U. S. Steel Co., Whitwell.
Previous to the trouble Mr.. Tatum had
made two costly decisions against
Whitwell, and several were pretty
warm over it. Finally he evidently
heard a remark that angered him for
he advanced to third base, where
Meagher was standing, acting as coach
and made some remarks that Meaghel
replied to, but friends interviewed ant
the trouble subsidized Whitwell ther
put ON Dr. Seay to make field decisions
and it was close decisions by him a
first and third that caused Jasper tx
leave the field in the eighth. Thes'
unpleasant incidents are what DISCUS
many people with what ought to b.
the finest and most scientific game go
