Bennington Batteries Kept Hits We'll
Scattered, but Locals Showed Up
Poorly at tho Bat.

Bennington high school defeated
North Bennington high school at the
athletic field Friday afternoon by
score Of 4 to 2. The victory OF the
local team was due TO superior field
ing and the steadier work of its pit
chers. Harlan. the l4-year-old pitcher
from the North village never allowed
the b. II. s. team single hit but his
bases OH balls were costly and he was
poorly supported behind the bat.
Outside OF the bases on balls he
pitched a remarkable game and dis
played unusual GOODNESS for so young
a lad.
Percy pitched the first FIVE innings
for Bennington. He had lots of speed
and the three hits made OF him were
so well scattered that perfect sup
port would have given him a shutout.
Wood, who went into the box atthe
beginning Of the sixth was touched up
for three hits In succession but dur
ing the remainder of the game pitched
perfect ball.
Both teams played good ball In the
field. Outside Of the battery work OF
the North Bennington boys there
were only four errors evenly divided.

FELIX GRUMPY srIooER DEAD
Man Who Exposed the "GoIden
Circle" Passed Away at Chicago.

Chicago, May l6.-Fellx' Grundy
Stidger exposer of the Golden
Circle" dropped dead Monday at his
home here and was buried yesterday
Scarcely known by his neighbors and
having only a small acquaintance with
the Civil War veterans Of Chicago
his death attracted at first little at
tention. II he had passed away forty
five years ago General Grant might
have taken two more summers to
reach Richmond.
Stidger was secret service man
during the last two years Of the war
He worked his way into that notorious
secret order of Southerners IN the
Northern states known as the Knights
Of the Golden Circle and became one
OF its chief officers. When the South
was about ready to give up the con.
fiict after the battles of Gettysburg
and Vicksburg, It's spirit was rejuve-
mated by the knowledge that this or.
der had plans all set for the delivery
of the 10000 Confederate prisoners IN
Fort Douglas, in Chicago and other
Northern cities.
Plans also had been made for de
livering over to the Confederacy the
states Of Illinois, Missouri, Indiana
and Ohio. So strong were the forces
! of the Golden Circle and so secret
were its movements and schemes that
the government was at loss how to
stop II. Stidger. who had wormed his
way into the order and had climed ia
the position of Grand Secretary by mis-
efficiency, singlehanded stopped the
delivery turned over the chief officers
to the government and frustrated one
Of the most ingenious schemes of the
war.
After the war Stidger's life was
threatened many times and once he
was followed for two years by hired
desperate who sought to kill him. He
moved to Louisville in the late sixties
but found he could not live In the
South safely and moved North.
