is MISSING MISS FOUND2
Detention Of Nellie Cropsey Doubt
ed by Family,
IDENTIFIED BY A FRIEND
The North ca ina Mystery Seems to Present
Difficult Problem for the Officials
Who Are Making the Search.

ELIZABETH CITY. n. c., Dec. s.
The news from Wilson, n. c., Of the
detention there of n woman partially
identified as Miss Nellie Cropsey has
created little interest here among the
girls family or officials Of the town. II
Is believed here that this same woman
and her companion were examined at
Speed, N. c., by an agent Of Chief OF
Police Dawson several days ago and
found not to be Miss Cropscy. though
resembling her.
An expert diver spent the day
searching the bottom Of the river above
the pier near the Cropsey house in the
hope of finding the body, but discover.
cd nothing. No clue of value has yet
been found, and the strange case Is
practically In the same position 1t was
the day after the girl disappeared
At S:45 last night Chief of Police
Dawson received a telegram from the
chief Of police Of Wilson, N. G., giving
a description of the Durham woman.
1t does not at all answer to Nell Crop,
sey's description.
The report from Wilson Is to the cs.
feet that on Monday couple givina
the names OF Mr.. and Mrs. Mackay
Durham stepped at Wards boarding
house there. Monday evening Durham
was found drunk and disorderly on
the streets and locked up. remaining
In the town guardhouse throughout
the night. Tuesday. when Durham was
sober, he was released from custody,
and he, with his supposed wife, left In
a buggy for Nashville, N. @.
At this juncture the town authors.
ties suspected the couple to be Miss
Nellie Cropsey and Mr.. Durham OF
Elizabeth City. both OF whom dlsap-
peared from that city on Wednesday
night, Nov. 81. They were pursued by
two policemen on each rond leading
out or Wilson to Turkey Greek, about
fifteen miles north Of here. where they
were arrested by Policemen FELTON,
and Bryant and brought back to town
yesterday.
Miss Tyer, who was a playmate OF
Miss Nellie Cropsey for four years and
who is now at school here, was called
on to identify Miss Cropsey. She testi-
fled that for -four years she has not
seen her, but the girl in custody resem-
bles Nellie very much; that when she
knew her her hair was lengthy; that
her features were identically the
same" She will be held In custody I'M
til parties arrive from Elizabeth City.
The alleged Miss Cropsey says she has
been married only Il few days. She
seems to be deeply distressed. She APP
pears to be about seventeen years Of
age and is good looking. She has an In
telligent face, speaks very clearly and

Hagerstown-Tried 20 Hold Up
G. Train In Carlisle, where
He Was Arrested.

A G. v. X. r. Engineman will not
soon forget his experience in Carlisle
with Tum-crazed man. AT Carlisle
the man, who is boiler maker by
trade got off tram No. s. and gave or
ders that it should not move until he
was ready to allow it to proceed.
The train dii move without his
orders, however. and he tried to
mount the engine and take things in
his own hands. He was pushed off
and taken to jail, where he was for a
time hilarious, singing praying and
preaching by turns, INTERPRETING an
occasional oath. The man claimed
to have been in West Virginia to sell
property and to have left Martins
burg with $l65 on his person. On mr.
irving at HaUerstown he says he
alighted to have some money changed,
when he was given drink of whls-
key, which. he declared was dragged.
and relieved of his money. The stuff
went to his brain and made him wild.
Nothing serious was noticed in his
behavior until Oakville was passed,
when he arose from his seat and veil
ed to the top of his voice in profane
manner that lie was from Virginia.
He took his coat in his hands and
started through the train, frightening
the passengers.
The conductor brakeman and other
trainmen were for time perplexed.
but finally placed him in the baggage
car and on arriving at Carlisle put
him off.
The stranger was SEND to Harris
burg. He is not drinking mar.
Until last February he is said to have
served on the police force in Harris
burg.
