Bessemer, May 25.-(Special)-J. F. Glenn, a merchant living in the rear of his store at Wheeling station, in East Bessemer. was injured last night by an unknown negro and until the assailant Is caught and confesses no one will know positively whether he was shot or hit with a pointed instrument. The wound is deep cut over the left ear and could have been made by a bullet or piece of sharp wood.
 Glenn states that a negro called him about o'clock last night to sell him some tobacco. He had retired, but arose and going to the front of the store, chat ted with the customer and as he turned to secure the tobacco loud noise like an explosion was heard and he dropped He was not unconscious, and when assist ance arrived the negro was frightened away. The motive of the attack was rob berv and the designing thief did not know anyone was present but Glenn.
 Detectives are working on the case and ct a late hour tonight have not captured a suspect Glenn gave g. description Of the negro and can identify him If caught. noble array of ladies and Homer Braxton, the Ensley rooter, saw Besse- ner utterly. shamelessly and inglorious- Iy defeated by Ensley with a score of 10 to 1. The first inning. with Latimer pitching for the home team, gave Ensley four scores. It was then, too. that Da- wis, the Ensley pitcher taught Bessemer that practice makes perfect and that the home team needed it. Dutch Zielminski, the former Birmingham High school star, played a clever game at shortstop and Inman was especially good in the out field This Ensley team was the top | notcher of the Steel Plant league and | certainly made the game exciting
 Manager Hines made change in the fourth, hoping to break the spell, by | shifting Bruner to rightfield, Trotter to backstop, Smith to the box and Hous- ton to first base. Bessener, for an in- | etant seemed to wake up. but the con | etant scoring of the visitors brought on a relapse The only run made by Bes- semer was in the eighth inning. when l Tretter came in on two errors and the only hit was secured by Johnson in the same inning.
