weeks. The field acquired by the
government is easily accessible from

DEATH OF DAVE RUNhr..
Death Occurred Friday Night After
Second Operation.

After lingering for several
weeks near deaths door, Dave,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. M. Runkel,
died at Watts hospital last Friday
night near midnight, almost i'm
mediately after the second opera
tion.
Dave Runkel was well known
in Durham where he has appear
ed since the Casino was opened
several summers. He was only
II years of age, but was a young
man we'll versed in his profession
and his chances for making a
great actor were good.
About three weeks ago he was
operated upon at Watts hospital
for appendicitis and at first got
along well, but other complica-
tions set in and for several days
previous to the end was very
low, and it was seen that the
only chance was a second opera
tion. This was decided upon
Friday and DR.. A. w. Knox, Of
Raleigh, came up to assist. The
young man was too weak and
failed to rally.
The remains were carried to
New York Saturday where the
interment took place. Besides
father and mother deceased left
one sister upon whom his death
falls heavily.

HIlman High Arrested In Richmond.

A special from Richmond to
the Charlotte Observer Of August
20. says:
j. Hilman High, of Durham,
N. c., has been placed in Jail
here on a charge of abducting
Ida Markham, a 15-year-old girl,
from her home in Durham. After
a prolonged search on the part
of the police the man and girl
was discovered in a local board
ing house where they were liv-
ing as man and wife. High has
a wife and child elsewhere, but
has not been living with them
for some months.
The man is very much fright
ened at the thought that he may
be lynched when taken back to
North Carolina or that the father
of the girl. James Markham,
may shoot him on sight. For
this reason High has expressed
his willingness to go back for
trial without requisition provided
he has ample protection from vio-
lence.
When first arrested the man
wrote a note to the girl and slip
ped it to her advising her to say
nothing. However under the po-
lice sweating the girl confessed
that they were the couple want.
ed. Bicycle policemen first no
ticed the man in company with
the little girl who appears Q mere
child. The man was apparently
40 years Of age. The detectives
were notified. In a few hours
they had discovered that the two
were very much wanted. Mark
ham is said to be a very cool man
and one who will likely defend
the honor of the girl at any risk
to himself. 1t is feared by both
the man and girl that Markham
may snoot High on sight and
though he is expected to come
here for his daughter, High will
have ample guard to see that he
is taken back safely.
