which Won should dwell. Twice the 500

bases before one was down and they
we're held scoreless. One time they had
two on by the hit route, and no one
down. Lightning fielding prevented
runs in each of the three cases and pre-
vented the visitors from having a
chance at other times. Nagel, the new
short stop got in with some fast field

markable stunts. 1t was a grand game

Rourke blames the umpire for every

blames him for all of it. If a fielder

Death Of James {. DiCkerSON

The death of James +. Dickerson took
place at his home Wednesday morning
aV ten minutes of four O'Clock. Mr..
bickerson had been sick since last Octo-
(ber, his Gisease having been diagnosed
as cancer of the stomach. A few weeks
ago he was carried to Johns Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore. for treatment, but
remained there only a short time. After
his return home he gradually grew
worse, and while his death came as
shock to many of his friends, it was not
unexpected by his immediate family.
Mr.. Dickerson was born on the old
Dickerson farm in Colbourne's District,
on the 3lst, Of December, 1852. and was
therefore in his sixtieth year. He was
the son of the late James Dickerson and
Hennie Lokey, his wife.
He had been twice married, his first
wife having been Nancy Ellen Dryden,
a sister of MIR. J. w. Dryden, of Col
bourne's District. BY this marriage he
is survived by the following children:
Messrs. Charles L., William o.. and
Godfrey. all Of Colbourne's District.
His second wife, by whom he is sur
vived. was Miss Rowena Shockley, the
daughter Vi TIE titt LoitH1V ouoNhAcyt
and a sister of Mr.. Charles w. Shock
ley, of Snow Hill. BY this marriage he
is survived by one daughter, Miss Grace
May Dickerson. He is also survived by
one brother. Mr.. Uriah w. Dickerson,
and by the following sisters: Mrs. Jesse
Carmean, of Snow Hill, Mrs. John
Shockley, of Millsville, and Mrs. Z. w.
Perdue, of Colbourne's District. Mrs. J..
+. Carter, of Snow Hill. is half sister
of Mr.. Dickerson.
The early part of Mr.. Dickerson's life
was spent in farming. but for the last
eighteen years he had been engaged in
the mercantile and milling business at
Colbourne. combining the two with great
success. He was one of the most promi-
nent and influential men IN the district.
and he will be sorely missed, particu-
larly in the neighborhood where he had
lived so long. MIR. Dickerson had been
a lifelong Democrat. He was men,
Der of Mt. Olive NJ. p. Church. and was
devoted to its interest.
His funeral took place at Mt. Olive
Church Thursday afternoon, at half past
two o'clock. the services being conduct
ed by two former pastors of the church,
Rev. Avery Donovan, and Rev. G. ii.
Stocksdale, and by Rev. j. b. North. of

MIR. J. Samuel Price. President Of the
Snow Hill Board of Trade, is in receipt
Of letter from Mr.. Walter b. Miller.
State Roads Commissioner, in which
MIR. Miller says: II am very glad to
know that there is feeling Of cooper
alton in the wish to build the road from
Snow Hill towards Pocomoke, in con-
junction with building the road from the
Pocomoke end towards Snow Hill.
shall recommend to the Commission the
advertising of two contracts for equal
amount Of road. one from Snow Hill
south towards Pocomoke. the other from
the end Of the present contract, north
towards Snow Hill" This adjustment
is regarded as a fair and equitable dis
tribution Of the available funds, and
will give about two and a half miles of
stone road, south from Snow Hill, and
about five and half miles, north from

tract of three miles. already nearing

John W. Allen Dead

John w. Allen. Of Pocomoke City
who was shot on July 10th by William
Il. Duncan. following a quarrel which
grew out of ill-feeling existing between
them for several years, died at his home
Tuesday morning from the effect Of his
wounds. A charge Of murder has been
placed against Duncan, and he will be
arrested as soon as he can be appre-
hended.
The shooting took place at the Penn
sylvania Railroad Station in Pocomoke
City. The men had an encounter early
in the morning following a quarrel, and
il is said A lien drew knife on Duncan.
Bystanders stepped in and Duncan
sought refuge from Allen in the store
Of T. Il. Henderson.
Later in the day Duncan appeared on
the street and again encountered Allen,
this time at the railroad station. Al
most Immediately the shooting began.
The first bullet entered Aliens right
shoulder, and the second went into his
neck, severing the spinal cord.
Mr.. Allen was carried TO the Peninsula
General Hospital at Salisbury. where he
lay in a precarious condition for several
days. He was afterwards taken back
to his home in Pocomoke City, his death
occurring about six O'Clock Tuesday
morning. The affair has caused the
most intense excitement in the lower
part of the county, where both men are
well known. Both men have large fam
lilies, both of them have many friends in
the town and county, and there is a
genuine feeling of regret at the unfor-
tunate occurrence.
