and although he allowed one more hit
than Koestner yielded he won his game
by the score of to 2, due entirely to
the fact that the visiting batters hit
more opportunely-when men were on

the champs got two hits, but could not
score, while one hit in the ninth yielded
two runs. Portland tailed one in the
first inning on one hit, another in the
second on two hits and another in the
eighth on one hit. This shows how

THE WHITE PIGEON LOST.
Mysterious Bird Mistakes Southern
For G. & n. w. Train at Hickory
and Wanders Away, So the Story
GOes-A Strange Tale.

Visitors in the city from Hickory
and beyond tell strange tales of the
mysterious white pigeon which for
three weeks accompanied the c. & N.
w. train from Lenoir to Hickory
and back again, sometimes going
ahead, frequently trailing behind and
ofttimes tapping its beautiful taper
ing wings within a few feet of the
coach windows so much so that pas
sengers within, If SO minded, might
easily reach out and lay hold of it
as it industriously kept pace with the
moving train.
This, however, is ancient history
for the birds uncanny conduct has
been mentioned on several occasions
indulged in as to what it portended,
some saying one thing and some an
other.
But the bird has disappeared
1t is no longer to be seen going
ahead of G. &, N. W. train, flying
between the tracks nor training along
behind as if to guard the rear.
The spell, whether for good or evil,
has been broken.
According to the most trustworthy
reports obtainable, the bird cne day
I last week mistook a Southern for a
c. & N. W. train at Hickory and
wandered away from it's accustomed
haunts, and has not yet returned.
Whether instinct will assert itself or
| not, and the craving for home over
| come desire to see more of the
world, certain 1t ia that the bird is
being missed. Its return will be Gag
erly awaited by the trainmen and
others who had come to regard it
with veneration and it's loss should
1t not return. will be keenly regret
