Succumbed to Apoplexy
While Playing Tennis

Our neighboring town, Richard City,
was shocked yesterday evening at $40
O'Clock when the news spread that Mr.
A. B. Cockerill. aged fifty-one years.
stockholder, director and member of
advisory board of the Dixie Portland
Cement Co., had dropped dead while
playing lawn tennis with some of the
clerical men near the main Office of
the plant. Mr.. Cockerill had hitched
his horse to his vehicle and started for
his home in Bridgeport, Ala, when
some of the men challenged him for a
game of tennis. He being very fond
of the sport, accepted, and to the great
surprise of those on the lawn he fell
suddenly to the ground and soon sue
cumed to that dreaded enemy, apo
plexy.
Deceased was loved by everyone
with whom be came in contact, and
especially was he respected by the en-
ployees of the big cement industry.
He leaves wife and six children,
four girls and two boys. The elder
son. Harry, is now in the Chattanooga
office of the Dixie Portland Cement
Co. The remains were prepared and
shipped to his former home, Nevada,
Missouri, for interment. South Pitts

BATTLE CREEK
TRIUMPH TWICE
Defeat Sequachee 20 to Is, and
RidgedaIe 8 to 7

There was base ball galore here Sat-
urday afternoon. Battle Greek defeat
ed Sequachee, 90 to Is, and then took
Ridgedale into camp, 8 to Z. The fray
was to have been between Sequachee
and Ridgedale, but telephone mes
sage was received in the morning that
Battle Greek was coming and there
was no stopping them. as they were
eager for revenge for Tuesdays de-
feats. Jackson for Battle Creek, was
in the points, and pitched his usual
fine game, Fowler supporting him ad-
mirably. Barrett and Martin was Sc
quachee's battery, but six runs on
heavy hitting and errors in third drove
the Sequachee twirler from the box,
Lasater, who had just arrived, going
in. For four innings he held Battle
Creek to 3 runs, but they took four
each in eighth and ninth when he
weakened. Sequachee made fine raf-
ly in last half Of ninth, scoring four
runs, but it was no use, things were
gainst them. The game was virtually
presented to Battle Creek, as to op-
pose. weak pitchers against such
twirler as Jackson would seem suici-
dal, but there was no time to secure
a pitcher of equal merit, for which
the manager of the team was in no
wise to blame.
The score:

Battle Greek. 81 60 3 90 4 4-20
Sequachee, O21 O421 4-15

The second game between the win
nres and Ridgedale was closer, Ridge
dale losing by only one score. s to Z.
Jones and Moseley was the Ridgedale
battery, and Fowler and Martin did
the stunt for Battle Creek. jackson
was brought to the box in eighth in
ming when Fowler was being punish
ed, and saved the game for his team.
Jones pitched nice ball for his team up
to 4th inning when four runs resulted
and King went into the box. Billings
ley made fancy catch in right field.
which doubled man after he had
passed second. Battle Greek batted
heavily in both games, and did good
work defensively, making few errors.

LONG CHASE ENDS WITH
CAPTURE OF PINK JERKINS
st. Elmo Boy Wanted for Rob,
berries in Marion County.

Pink jenkins, aged 90 years, former
ly st. Elmo boy, wanted in Marion
county for the alleged robbery Of thu
company store of the Battle Creek Goa
company, and the postofice at Orine
was captured the latter part of june
near Birmingham by Deputy Sheriff
Chadwick and yesterday turned ovel
to the aarion county officers.
The alleged robbery was committed
in January, 1910. and up to this time
jenkins had successfully eluded the
officers, though at times they have
been close upon his heels.
After the robbery, in which he il
said to have secured booty of about
$26 in cash, two shotguns, two gold
watches, twenty razors, large quan'
tity of knives and numerous other ar
ticles of merchandise, he was traced to
Chattanooga, but had departed for 9th
er climes before the arrival of the Ma
rion county officers Upon the arrival
of the officers they enlisted the aid of
Deputy Chadwick and the coal compa-
ny also offered suitable reward for
his arrest and return After lapse
of several months he was again heard
of as being with his uncle near Wild
wood, Ga. Upon the arrival of Chad
wick at that tow n Jenkins had again
made bis escape, but the officer sue
ceeded in recovering the two watches
and shot gun.
Nothing more was heard of him I'M
til he was recently located near Birm-
ingham, at which place he was taken
in custody by Chadwick. Jenkins,
from all accounts, is very desperate
character, and has served several
terms in the local workhouse for petit
larceny and attempted Jail breaking.
He also served eleven months in a
nearby county for the robbery of a
store at Graysville. He has the dis
tinction of being one of the first boys
committed to Bonny Oaks, from which
institution he escaped. just prior to
the Orme robbery Jenkins was doing
term at til H.workhouse for the alleged
theft of some money and clothing from
local river steamer, but escaped be-
fore his term had expired After his
escape all trace of him was lost until
the Marion county robbery of January,
1910.

minded player. loving the game fol
the sport. When Sequachee was de-
feated after fierce up hill fight Satur-
day last, one of the Battle Creek play
yers came in shouting, ''Well. we beat
them that time" Jackson evidently
saw no reason to jubilate over the de-
feat of game opponents, and called him
down, saying sharply, "Shut up. they
beat us twice Tuesday" This showed
magnanimous spirit present in an Al

Editor News:

Editor News:
have been requested by you thru
your paper to give slight detail OF
this place and the workings of the U.
S. r. s., under which am at present
employed.
The town of Peoria il small coun.
try or farming town. The population
is sparse and has one store, post Office
and depot. The town is surrounded
by farms of from 10 to 800 acres. The
Reclamation Service, of the q. S.
government, has complete control of
the Roosevelt Reservoir and superin-
tendsthe distribution of water thru
Zanjeros to the numerus farms under
the different canals. The canals run
in a westerly direction, from which
smaller canals, as laterals, run north
and south to the many farms for irri-
eating. The water costs the farmers
81. 60 per year per acre, and is paid in
May and September. The amount of
water run to each farmer is 300 inch
es every four to eight days of "a hours
to every 1860 acres he owns.
The duties of the Zanjeros are to see
that the farmer gets his water, to no.
tify him when he will get it, and to
take it from him when his allotted
hours are run. The work of the Zan-
jero is not hard or difficult, but you

SbeciaI TO tie Macs.

! SbeciaI TO tie Macs
This, that and "tother" is 'tthe or
der of the day." owing to what has
or what has not been doing in differ
ent parts. Well, snake killing has
been "the order of the day in Kim
ball City. Brown Wood, Joe Dobbins
and Dan Mills, as they were returning
home from their days work at South
Pittsburg Monday evening, killed an
old garter snake and sixty young ones.
The killing was done at the the west
foot of the King Hill near the bars or
gap entering into JEFF Tanners pas
ture field. The old mother snake was
about three feet in length and the
young ones about eight or ten inches.
Brown in killing the mother snake cut
her almost in two near the middle.
When he did this he noticed the young
snakes crawling out of her body, lick
| ing out their red tongues like they
meant to fight, so he, Joe and Dan
went to work killing snakes, and when
they had finished up the job they
found that they had killed sixty-one,
the old mother snake and sixty small
ones. This is no fake snake tale like
most all the snake and fish tales that
are dished out to the readers of news
papers and magazines. Brown Wood
and Joe Dobbins gave me the facts of
this snake killing. Henry Levan,
Robert. Anna and Kate Thach and
other residents of Kimball City, saw
the snakes after they bad been killed
and stacked up in pile, and they
state that the snakes were there dead,
oodles of them. William Donahoe is
an authority on snakes in our section,
and he states that there are certain
kinds of snakes that swallow their
young when they hear an unusual
noise and apprehend danger. The old
mother snake, according to Bill, when
she scents danger, will open her mouth
from ear to ear and make a s-c-a-like
hiss and the young ones will scoot into
her interior faster than one can count.
am fully satisfied from all reports
that this happened in the case of the
garter snakes killed by Brown, Joe
and Dan.
Corn crops are looking fresh and fine
since yesterdays rain, and the pros
perts are good for good crop.
With kindest regards and best wish
es to all the News readers Sam Sykes.
