WEST POINT TRIMMED FOR
SERIES OF THREE GAMES

Water Valley had heard wonder.
full stories about the fast West Point
ball team--and when the boys came
here Monday for series of three
games-the local fans had some ap-
prehension as to what might hap
pen to the Water Valley Champions.
A large crowd was present Monday,
the first game, to see what might
happen--but, say Mister, there was
no cause for alarm-no-sir-ee. The
locals just played rings around that
West Point bunch and shut them out
by a score of 8 to 0.
Tuesdays game was farce comedy
and ended in favor of the locals by
a score of 12 to 8.
Up to the sixth inning the locals
had West Point shut out while our
boys had made 9 runs--then Holl-
man and Pearce went on the bench
and Lloyd Hellums and Collier took
their places, with Hellums in the
box. Each team succeeded in max
ing scores each during the balance
of the game which made the score IL
to at the finish.
Wednesdays game resulted in q
victory for Water Valley by a score
of to 3. This closed the series and
West Point went home without win
ming game.

CASEY JONES HUNG
BY ORDERLY MOB
White Man, Murderer of Mrs.
J. S. Mosely Lynched at
Hattiesburg Friday---Once
Saved From Mob by Metho-
dist Minister

HATTIESBURG, Miss, July 23.--
Casey Jones, who on June 16 was
convicted of the murder of Mrs. j.
S. Moseley, wife of prominent city
mail carrier and sentenced to hang
on July 18 but whose case was pend
ing before the supreme court, was
taken from his cell here at about 1 :15
this morning and hanged in the court
yard by mob Of about seventy men.
The heavily armed mob appeared
from side street and covered Sheriff
Will M. Edmonsan and Deputy Joe
Gray and Jailer F. M. Mckenzie, de-
manding that the Jail be opened and
that Jones be turned over to them or
the Jail would be broken into.
Mckenzie refused to surrender the
keys wherupon the mob with a crow
bar pried open the front door and two
other doors that obstructed. When
Jones' cell was reached the crow bar
was not effective and an acetylene
torch was resorted to. Not a shot
was fired but Jones put up a stiff
fight for his life, using q chair and
other objects in the room as weapons,
but someone in the mob struck him
over the head and dazed him.
He was overpowered and carried
down to the tree where he was hanged
in the shadow of the court house.
This morning the body was cut down
and carried to morgue where large
crowd had gathered to see it.
Coronr ]. e. Hulette and a jury
spent the entire day investigating the
case. They ascertained that the door
was entered by the use Of acrow bar,
that Jones' cell had been entered by
the use Of an acetylene torch, and
that Jones had been hit on the back
Of the head.
Delay in the execution of Jones
effected through an appeal to the su-
preme court, had caused much public
sentiment.
A Hattiesburg citizen who was said
to have suffered serious injuries in
the fight Jones made upon his assail-
ants told Coroner Hulette he was the
victim Of an unidentified man who at
tackled him on the street and that q
passing motorist carried him to the
Methodist Hospital where he still is.
The patient said he knew pothing Of
the lynching.
This ends case that has kept the
citizens Of this community aroused
ever since the murder occurred. On
the night of the crime a mob attempt
ed to get Jones from local hospital
where he had been taken to have his
gunshot wound treated, but the at
tempt was broken up when DR.. Har-
mon, superintendent Of the hospital
held the mob back at the point Of =
anlQfQls Joua8 wes than Apizi*aa aWaH
70 Gulfport for safe keeping untll
court could convene.
The crime for which Jones was
convicted occurred in the home Of
Mrs. Moseley where Jones had been
q boarder., It was claimed that az
ter an attempt at criminal assault he
shot her through the back. Her hus-
band who was in the garden At the
time heard the shots and ran to the
house to find his wife wounded on the
floor. Grabbing . shotgun he fired
two shots into Jones a. he leaped Z
yard fence, putting out Jones' eye.
and seriously wounding him. Mrs
Moseley was paralyxed from the ef-
fects Of the bullet and died = week
later.

Mays came back after a two-day rest
and held the Giants TO six hits. Two

winning run was founded on an error.

Butler Looks Good
in Practice Work
for Hanover Game

Extensive preparation which has char
acterized the practice work of the Butler
College football squad since the initial
session has shown no let-up this week
with the Hanover game Saturday as an
objective The team which Coach Page
will send out on the field in the second
home appearance of the Bulldogs is
thought to be even more formidable than
the one which smothered Rose Poly last
week
Although Butler Is conceded to be the
top heavy favorite to emerge the victor
in Saturdays game the players and
coaches are not kidding themselves into
thinking that q win over the rejuvenated
Hanover clan will be an easy task. Di-
rected by Coach Ferguson, an l. u.
product, Hanover has shown much i'm
provement over last years standard and
appears to gain momentum with each
contest. Ferguson has not only sue
ceeded in developing a smooth running
machine but has brought to light sew
eral stars of marked ability. Van Ant
Werp, the speedy quarter back, and
Hough, a big full back, are two back
field men who will cause any team in the
State trouble. The Powell brothers In
the line have also shown marked ability
in the games this year ana will be
watched closely by the Butler forwards
Hanover has lost to both Earlham and
Franklin this year but in each instance
by seven point margin. Since Butler
has already trimmed Rose Poly the re-
suit Of Saturday game will go far to-
ward determining Butler's position in
the l. c. A. L. race.

NEW YORK, Oct ia pitcher who

a pitcher who had won no games and
lost two were due to face each other
tCdny in what might be the deciding
game Of the worlds series.
These men were Waite Hoyt, kid right
handler of the Yankees, and Art Nehf,
star southpaw of the Giants. There were
more angles to the dope" revolving
about them than there are to a modern
divorce suit, among which were these
notable examples:
That Hoyt was due to lose, and IN the
same vein, that Nehf was due 10 win.
That the Yankee youngster had the
Giants number and was unbeatable, so
far as they were concerned.
That the Giants hit Hoyt much harder
in the second game he wor than in his
first victory-when he held them TO two
hits-and consequently would pound him
even harder today.
That Hoyt was an Inland -outer" and
was ripe for a bad day.
That the Yankee batting order, as at
present constituted. was sure death for
a left handler, Willie Pipp being the only
off-side hitter 1t was pointed out that
Schang hits from either side of the plate.
