H|CHLANDERS TOOK FIRST GAME
YESTERDAY; BART0W THE LAST

The Highlanders went fifty-fifty
with Barlow yesterday, winning the
first game 2 to 0 and dropping the
second game to Q. Rain nearly
robbed us out Of the first game, for
with Barlow at bat in the first half
of the fifth and two men down and
one strike on the batter, time was
called by the umpire, for he was not
in the mood of taking a shower bath
just them.
For time 1t seemed as though
this had cost us the game, but the
heavens had some feeling for us and
1t soon stopped raining, The diamond
was now in bad shape but Wicker and
st. Charles being past masters with
the broom and shove. soon had the
ground in such shape which made 1t
possible to resume the game.
As far as the score was concerned
the game might have been called af'
ter four and half innings had been
played for those Barlow boys could
not do any more with Hall after the
shower than they did before the final
score stood two to nothing In favor
of Lakeland.
Had the game been stopped after
Barlow had been retired in the fifth,
things would have been much better
for everybody. After the required
time this game could have been called
and after allowing the diamond to
dry off the second game could have
been played under much better condi-
tions. But what's the use of talking
about things of the past let's talk
about something pleasant. Hall was
on the mound for the Highianders
and the final scores shown just how
little they accomplished in the lire OF
hitting. He was master throughout
tho game and never was in danger OF
/ hc,ng scored or Moore. our lanky
/ first haseman. was there with the
big stick, for in the first inning ne
hit for double, scoring both o? Lake
lands runs and again in the sixth ne
drove a triple over right center
which would have been good for
homer on a fast diamond. st. Charles
also helped himself to three hits bu'
of a smaller variety.
McBrayne, former Barlow player
was behind the plate for the locals
and he caught a very nice game and
he was indeed great help to oui
team.

ALMOST A WATER HAUL"
Too Much Haste Prevented Evidence
Against Several Suspects.

Saturday night several arrests were
made tnat Created quite a stir for the
| time being.
| 1t will DE remembered that Henry
Smith, son of Hardin Smith. broke Jail
here last summer when lie was Gnder a
charge Of carrying pistol and was
suspected of having broken into the
junk store of Jud Burkhart and stole
pistol
Saith returneu bore few days
4<,S ~~a $50 n...nsA. p-..~d by Lutner
Rush, whose home is claimed to be IN
Kentucky. 1t seems the boys kept OUT
plans to rub some OF the st ores in town
Saturday night. The scheme was tip
ped off and party, consisting OF j.
). Reed, E. 5. Burnett. Fred McCartt,
Deputy Sheriffs John u. Wyatt and A.
Lee. decided to arrest Smith and Rush.
After securing RusA. E. S. Burnett
ran onto Smith and placed him under
arrest. They also arrested Lester
Smith. brother of Henry Smith, and
John Wright, son of J. V. Wright.
Having 10 dirert proof against any Of
the boys, the> turned them loose, ex-
cept Henry Smith, who was lodged in
Jail on the old pistol case.
The Rush o. left tswn Sunday and
the whole game they seemed to have
planned, was Uroken W.
The wort mistake made seems to
have been IN acting toe hurriediy. If
watch had re set at several of the
stores it is very likely the boys could
have been caught il the act of house
breaking dnu then cases could have
been made against them. As it was,
it proved to be largely water haul,
except that Henry Smith was lodged
IN jail, whete ha sttyad oal2 q short
time, as he escaped Sunday night. The
Cumberland county jail does not seem
to have been built tor holding prison
ers. but for them to escape from.

HERBERT DOMAIN.
Gov Roberts Urging Development ofthe
States Valuable PROPERTY

A bill has been introduced in beta
houses of the legislature looking to
the development of the state property
consisting Of 10000 acres Of land
known az Herbert Domain.
0Uv. fsooefts senr spscIxI message
to both houses urging the passage Of
the bill ana the feeiIns i general that
there win be no opposition to the bill.
Just what the provisions of the bill
are we ar. unable to state but II Is
claimed that survey of the property
is included and that the timber and
coal buth will be consider ed.
At this time there are about 400
boys there from the state industrial
school. Most Of the boys are collored
The work Of these boys Is mainly
growing food crops to be used tor
feeding state institutions
1t Is the purpose of the state to use
this property as the industrial home
for boys both colored and white. as
soon as suitable buildings and other
arrangements can be projected for
hanollng them and at the same time
keep them separated.
Gov. Roberts made the development
or Herbert Domian one Of his strong
talking points when canvassing the
state for nomination for governor.
That he will take active steps to the
limit of his authoity to develop this
property is universally admitted.
One iupolt4 ut point connected with
the proposed development will be the
building of good road from Crossville
to the Domain. Crossville being the
most suitable railraod puint on the
mount + Oal winch road can be
built t. the Domain. there Is every
probability that the raod will be built.
since 1t is known that Gov. Roberts
favors it.
