Lott made his home with the Hen
sons. That morning when the young
people came to town he said that he
would not accompany them, but
would remain at home, and, after
wards, if the skies cleared he would
take a hunt drought the woods. The
body was found about fifty yards from
the barn neal a wire fence. 1t is
supposed that Mr.. Lott had climbed
over the fence and was pulling the
gun after him whenit was discharged.
The weapon was heavily loaded and
the full charge entered his side in the
region of the heart. Death, of course,
was instantaneous. The body was
cold when found and the physicians
who was summoned said the mar had
probably been dead four or five hours
when the discovery was made. Cor
oner Farrar decided that the tragedy
was plainly an accident and it was not
necessary to hold an inquest. The
deceased was GA years of age. He
came to this community in 1867 and
has resided here ever since. For
nearly thirty years he made his home
in the Cove, east of town, removing
to- the farm west of Ironton probably
fifteen years ago. He was an honor
able, upright man, and held in high
esteem by all his fellow men. Five
sons and two daughters, mourn his
demise, his wife preceding him to the
mysterious beyond four years ago.
The remains were inferred in the
Cove Cemetery Tuesday morning.
To the bereaved we extend our sym
pathy. May He who doeth all things
well strengthen and sustain them.
The last issue of the Pennington
News has the following to say in re-
ference to Tim McCabe, the Granite
villeIpitcher: "The Pennington Tigers
wound up the base ball season with an
s to 1 victory over the Flat River team
on the latter's grounds last Sunday.
1t was not only the last game of the
season but also the deciding game of
the county championship series which
was started in the spring, and hence,
by bagging this game the Tigers are
now proud owners of the title of
County Champs.' To McCabe, the
big Highlander whom the Tigers dug
up during the summer and who is now
on the st. Louis Brown reserve list,
goes the credit of swinging the i'm
portant game to Pennington. Despite
the fact that the Brown recruit hadn't
worked in the game since the Field
Lippman series here during the fair,
he seems to have all his "stuff," es-
pecially his speed, and during the six
and a half innings of play Flat River
got to him for only three hits. Tt was
dark and threatening rain, and with
the Tigers ahead by a safe margin and
McCabe pitching almost unhittable
ball, Manager Dempsey agreed with
Umpire Coffield that hostilities be
called off. Pitted against McCabe was
Eddie Duren who had successfully
baf1ed the Tigers IN the previous
Sunday. However, on this occasion
Duren seemed to be clear off his
stride. He not only lacked control
but when he did get it owe he SEEM
ed to have nothing of a puzzling
nature to the Tigers, and it took them
just two innings to sew up the game.
Three runs were sent over in the first
and four came in the second. With
three on the latter round, Bono clear
ed the bases with a triple. This wal
lop brought relief for Duren as he
was yanked by Manager Dempsey
who assumed the mound duty him
self. Dempsey finished the game in
an effective manner, allowing but
three hits and one run while he was
on the job. His rescu work though
came too late as the Tigers had al
ready copied the game and the
championship. Flat Rivers only
tally came in the first inning on
Horns single, j. Dempsey's sacrifice,
and Matkin's double. After this round
McCabe allowed but one more hit, a
triple by j.. Dempsey. The day was a
was particularly a good one for Nc
Cabe's style of pitching. His fast ball
could hardly be seen, let alone hit.
On three occasions he retired the side
on strikeout. His total number of
whiffs was ten in six innings. McCabe
also figured in the hitting, getting a
double and a single. Bono also got
a single besides his triple with three
