GIF. They Cairo boysv. ent oyer lost Friday-to show painbridge the is&t f ball tliey (am ploy and in the two innings played ( a ro had three tuns to Bainbridj.ee none, when the pitcher, Mr. tlumprics, for Bain-bridga, lost, his temper at the guying-being bunded him ai.d kicked Mr. Robert Taylor, of this place, in t he' libud, his spikes cutting three bad gashes on Tay lor’s head. This immediately broke up the garrie as the Bum bridge people had the cops take Pitcher Hum phries in charge, arid lie was rgshed to the . Recorder's court where he was fined $103 or 90 days on the streets. After this trial a warrant- wa3 sworn out for him and he was placed in jail, being unahlo to make bond, nd will be tried at thenext term of court, and doubtless, ho will be given a heavier sentence. This was one of tho most dis graceful acts ever pulled off by any player and was one which the Bainbridgo people did not like at all, as they have always been noted forgiving everyone a square deal at any fport, The players ahd tho entire pop- qlation of Baidbridge expressed great regret at. this occurertce aud they did everything in their power to show that they did not like it’and took it on themselves to have the pitcher arrested and they will see', that he gets what is coming to him^ns they propose to'let the Wofld’kiiow lhav. noth ing like'thvk'cah'hafTpCn in their town withouLthe guilty one being punished whether he is a strang er or home Pov. Mr. Taylor is getting along nicelv and is able, to bo. on his job, although his head has given him considerably pain. The Cairo hoys have only good words for the treatitn-ut and court- s ’ show n th -m 1 y the pep- ple-of Bainbride and will never forget the kindness shown them on Friday. NEAR WIM * Coroner Harrell was called to held and inquest last Sunday over the remains of Norn Gadsden, p negress, who was found shot to death early that morning at her home about 3 miles west of Whig- ham. From accident it seems that the woman and her husband Willie James got in a mix-up and Gadsden shot his wife and Jam es shot Gadsden twice in the .head, one bullet going through the temple and the other becom ing lodged in his head. Gadsden is still alive and it is thought he will recover. Some seem to think that that the negro James had a hand in killing the woman and shooting the husband. The facts will come out at the trial. A jury on Sunday rendered the following verdict:- ! ‘We, the jury sworn and em panelled to investigate the death of Nora Gadsden, find that she came to her death by a gun-shot wound in tho hand of Monk Gad sden. and same is murder, also that Willie James wasascessor to the murder. We reccomend that the coroner swear out warrant tot Monk Gadsden for murder also for Willie James as asces- sor.v. This August 2nd 1915. II. T. Swatts, Foreman. A. 1. Harrell, C .v Thomas Gray, jQ.
