SKIPPED THE TOWN
I'll. c. Fowler Sold Goods. Got Money.
Horse and Buggy and SkiDDed.

II. G., Fowler, who did a mercantile
business on Mangum street, North
Durham, left here yesterday morning.
The report is-and this is the opinion
OF Mrs. Fowler-that he has deserted
his wife, converted a portion Of his
property to his own use and skipped to
parts unknown, being accompanied by
another woman
The first real facts concerning the
escapade that is being played by this
man Fowler was learned yesterday
when Mrs. Fowler consulted ohcefs
about the matter. 1t was then learned
that the store in North Durham was
owned by Mrs. Fowler and that ner
husband was thele is manager. 1t de-
veloped that yesterday morning Fowler
sold the entire stock of goods to K. kel-
ly for $50. On this he received a pay
ment of $26 and was to meet Mr.. Kelly
at the Parrish warehouse for the pur-
pose of getting the remaining $24. Mr.
Kelly was prompt, but Mr.. Fowler die
not show up. He had skipped out.
In addition to selling out the stock Of
| goods it is learned that he carried away
from Durham a horse and buggy be
longing to Mrs. Fowler. But even this
is moi all, if half the reports that ar
in circulation are true. 1t is said ina
| he borrowed considerable money abou
| town on notes given on property that Il
| owned by Mrs. Fowler. How nue.
money he secured in this way is no
known. Mrs. Fowler thinks he left her
J with close to $1,000, a portion of thl
being money that belonged to her an
the remainder money that was secure
by giving notes and mortgages on he
property.
In connection with the disappearance
of Fowler it is said that a woman b.
the name of Viola Page, who has bee
making her home with Bertha Brown
has also disappeared from the commu
nifty. Run:or has it that she left wit
Fowler. Mrs. Fowler believes that thl
is the case.
