BASE BALL PROSPECTS
GOOD FOR THIS SEASON
!. c. LANEY MEETS
AYa aS death

Fhadeus CIiDgman Laney, a well
to do and prominent farmer of the
Brasetown section of Cherokee
County, met death in a manner that
| up to the present time is wholly
unexplained and has altogether the
air of mystery about il, while on his
way home from Murphy where he
had been last Thursday morning,
18th, doing some trading
Mr.. LaneY's mule, which he was
riding, arrived home without its
owner, and search was made for
the missing man, who was found at
5 o'clock in the afternoon near the
Haigler branch, in ar unconscious
and dieing condition, He was taken
to his home where every thing was
done to revive him, but without
result. He lived only q short time
and was never able to tell what had
befallen him after leaving Murphy.
He left here forhome It about 10
o'clock Thursday andshad probably
been gone an hour when misfortune
in the person Of the Angel of Death,
overlook him.
Three severe gashes were found
on his head. On the forehead, top
and back of the head. The wounds
appeared to have been 1aade by a
stick. Others are Of the opinion
that he val thrown 5S his mufs on a
rock and then kicked. The mule Is
said to be of very vicious temper.
Coroner Dockery, Sheriff Gentry
and others went To the scene of the
tragedy and examined the remains
Friday morning, and as there seemed
to be no grounds upon which to
proceed the matter was left open to
await developments. But we are
told that regular inquest will be
held this week.
Mr.. Larey was not known to have
had real enemy any where, and the
true facts concerning the manner of
his death may never be known.
The remains were laid away IN
Brasstuw II Cemetery. Fhe deceased
leaves wife, five s"ns, two daugh
tiers, three Lfothers aud three sisters.

GERMAN LINE BROKEN.
Troops of Allies Have Again Taken
Offensive.


Field Marshal Sir John French, In
message, informed the British peo-
pie that their troops again hadataken
the offensive after fortnight spent
in hurting back German attacks and
had swept across and captured ali
German trenches south Of Richebourg-
PAvoue over two-mile front.
The taking of large number OF
German prisoners and the annihilation
of one German contingent number
ing several hundred men, by their
own artillery fire, are recorded by
Field Marshal Sir John French and
the Paris war office In announcing 9
further success for the British arms
in France, north of La Bassee.
German positions, according tc
Paris, have been taken In the Ally
wood. German attacks near Berry
au- Bac and on the outskirts of the
forest of lie PretPe were arrested by
the fire of the French, while to the
west of the User canal, in Belgium
German positions have been evacuated
owing to a threatened envelOpine
movement.
Military commentators here regard
the British advance as genuine
break of the German line, which, il
maintained, must mean retreat for &
considerable section or the invaders
forces.

BROCK BIRCHFIELD
KILLED AT CHOGA

Last night at about. 10 o'clock news
reached here to the effect that Andy
Williams an employee of the Andrew
Lumber Company had shot and kill
ed Brock Birchfield, a fellow employ
ee.
From the report it seems that Will
Jams and Eirchfield were employed at
the Choga Camp of the Andrews
Lumber Co., and that yesterday after
noon some difficulty arose between the
two which would apparently end in a
fight but was finally settled to the
satisfaction of both.
From the report it seems that
Birchfield came to the camp where
William was staying and on inquiring
for Williams was told that he was in
bed. Birchf1eld then started in the
direction of Williams and before he
reached the bed was shot three times
by Williams, dying almost instantly.
Williams Immediately surrendered
to the officers and was carried to
Franklin and lodged in jail.-Andrews

Progressive Management. / Fine
Llle-Bl OF P!gIeIS Is Promised.

An enthusiastic meeting Of
Murphy base ball fans was held
one night last week and plans were
perfected for the coming season,
when some coed games are prom
ised for our town.
The organization was perfected
by electing. P. c. Hyatt, Frank
Dickey and A. 6. Deweese, mama
gers of the team this season.
The managers tell us they are
going to make this the best base
ball season Murphy has known.
This year the big double header
will be pulled off here on July 4th,
instead of at Copperhitl. The
plans are to make this day the
biggest IN the history of Murphy,
New uniforms have been ordered
for the team.
The managers have contracts
signed with the automobile drivers
of Murphy to carry all passengers
to and from the ball grounds from
and to any place within the city
dnhts i0K &c eaicn way for e'sschf
passenger, making the round trip
for 1Oc. This will enable a great
many people to attend the games
regularly who have not done SO
before on account of the long
walk. 1t is a great public conven-
ience and we congratulate the
managers on its accomplishment.
The management of The Star
Theatre has very literally agreed
to give the proceeds OF each Tues
day nights show for the support
cf the ball team. The first show
was given Tuesday night and will
be continued each week through
out the seaso:.. The Star Theatre
should be packed OH these nights
with we'll wishers of the Murphy
base ball team.
With these progressive gentle
men at the head of the manage
ment of our base ball club, and
the good material here for the
making of the team, Murphy is
sure to hold her old and hard
fought for place at the top of the
ladder in amateur base ball.
