Hampton, Oct. 19.-Dr. II. b. Cragin
of Alexander, who is wanted by the
county officials, has disa ppeared very
mysteriously, leaving his clients and
property. DR.. Cragin was wanted by
the officers on an information filed
against him by the marshal Of Alex
ander and the cause was charged as
maintaining nuisance in that he was
selling liquor. He got wind OF the
fact that he was wanted by going to
a justice Of the peace and asking about
the case, while the marshal was look
ing for him. Finding that he was
wanted he hastily hitched UP his team
and left the country. The last seen OF
MIN he was boarding train at Ack-
ley and was coming east.
Cragin is a young man and recent
ly graduated from Rush Medical Col
lege. He started to practice at Chap
in and had a good practice. While
there he was married, his Wife only
living with him for little over year.
Last fall Cragin moved to Alexander
and commenced to practice medicine.
He was quite successful and had plen-
ty of patients. but his office became
a resort for class of people not par
ticularly pleasant to the community
and was finally searched. A number
of barrels of empty beer bottles were
fond and evidences that he had been
running an open house.
The majority of Franklin county peo-
Pile were very much surprised to learn
this as he had always been considered
a very nice young man.

A Great Woman's College to Be Built In
Connection with Trinity College.

Durham, June 8.-There is to be
a great woman's college in connec-
ton with Trinity. This decision of
the Board of Trustees was an
nounced by President Kilgo imme-
diately after the commencement
speaking this morning. The college
is to cost $4,000. Two great gifts
we're announced in connection with
this move. Mr.. B. N. Duke, of this
city, and his brother, Mr.. J. B. Duke,
of New York, gave to this fund a
tract of land adjoining the Trinity
tract, valued at $4,000, and an ad-
d~itional $4,000 in cash. In addition
to these gifts other private dona-
tions from members of the Board of
trustees were announced amounting
to $4,000. This places the donations
of the day at 100000. The only
condition placed upon the gifts is
that the Methodist people of North
Carolina shall raise an additional
$4,000. President Kilgo announced
that this would be no hard matter
and that the wonan's- college, to be
known as Woman's Annex to Trim
ity, is now an assured fact.
