SUGGESTED RUTHERFORD
BE MOVED TO TRINITY
In the event Rutherford College
ia moved, it has been suggested
that it be located at Trinity hi
Randolph county, the site of old
Trinity College, now Duke Uni
versity, Durham, founded by Dr,
Braxton Craven. It is also sip
gested that the name be champed
to Trinity College and the old
institution be thereby incarnated in
the new. Rutherford College is a
Methodist institution as was Trin
ity College and as is now Duke
University. It is argued that old
Trinity furnishes an ideal site for
the college. The present Trinity
high school has a large and com
modious building situated on a
large tract of school property. If
this site were not available, it is
said that there would he no trouble
in getting grounds aft Trinity for
the college buildings. -People in
the Trinity community are said to
be favorable to the moving of
Rutherford College there. In fact,
Randolph county people would
probably be unanimous in their
view of this location for the col
lege should it he moved from its
present location. "Lexington and
various other cities have been try
ing foir Rutherford, and it would
not he out of place for Randolph
county, birthplace of Duke Uni
versity, to make a bid for the col
lege.

Exciting Chase
Nets Jack Borden
Man Wanted For Robbing Mrs.
Wall’s Ramdleman Store
Caught at Worthville.
CHASE EXTENDED 46 MILES
An Accomplice, Ed. Harmon,
Held Ifi Guilford County.
Jack Borden, young white man, is
in jail at Asheboro following his ar- ,
rest Sunday at Worthville after a
spectacular chase cm charge of break- \
into the store of Mrs. Emma N.
Wall and Company, at Randleman, on
the night of February 1st. Ed Har
mon, arrested in High Point Friday, j
is being held by Guilford county au- !
thorities on the same' charge in ad
dition to several others. Two girls,
Effie Foster, of Worthville, and Della
Black, claiming to be Borden’s sister,
were arrested also Sunday and lodg
ed in jail in Asheboro, but were turn
ed over to Guilford county authorities.
Borden is not only wanted for the j
store robbery at Randleman, but also
for stealing -cars, other charges of
robbery, and as an escaped convict j
from Guilford county.
When Borden and the two girls
were arrested at Worthville Sunday i
they were in a Chrysler sedan, said
to have been stolen by Borden at |
Asheville, and in the back compart
ment of the car was a big part of the
goods identified as those taken from
Mrs. WalTs store. '
Borden’s capture was made by T. |
A. Brookshire, of Randleman, and
two deputy sheriffs and occurred at
the home of Miss Foster, with whom
it is stated that Borden has long been
associated 'and to whom he claims he
is married. The capture resulted
from detectives, D. N. Hancock and
G. B. Wrniberley, of High Point, who
at 2 p. m. on Sunday were riding
through Thomasville on their way to
Marion where they had heard that
Borden was visiting relatives. Just
as they passed out of Thoiftasville the
Chrysler car whizzed past them going
in the opposite direction but hot pass
ing too sjuickly to permit the detec
tives to see Borden and ' recognize
him. They turned their Hudson ma
chine and then began a race royal.
Fcr ®'miles the race gas run. The
two cars passed through High <
Point’s .Main street at such a thun
dering speed that the police re
serves were called out. Turning to
i ward AsboboTo, Boatien set the pace
with him and the twqf women in the,
front salt, the rear end foil of the
stolen goods. Below Asheboro the
Chrysler left the other machine.
The officers then turned to Ramie
man and Asheboro and asked dbe
officers there .to go to Worthville
and wafcdh the Foster home and ar
rest Borden in event he showed xrp
This he did about nightfall and ar
rest was .made.
Borden and Ed Harmon were sen
tenced a year or more ago for break
ing into the Westend drug stone,
Greensboro. Borden was given five
years and Harmon also got a good
term. Bnth escaped within a few
months from the Guilford roads and
after two months or more of freedom
were caught, Borden at Bassett, Va.,
and Harmon in High Point. Harmon
served ant'his term but Borden, given
two years additional for the escape,
would nett «tay and made his escape
again about two months ago. Since
then be is supposed to have been con
nected with Harmon and with A. H.
Davis, another car thief who has es
caped from the Guilford county
roads, and the three are supposed to
have dame rmueh devilment.

Another Federal
District Certain
BH1 For Third Judicial District
In N. C. Passed In Con«i»ss
Monday.
RANDOLPH IN DISTRICT
A KB passed by. the lower house of
Congress Monday of especial interest
to the people of Randolph county was
that providing for the creation -of a
third federal judicial district In North
Carolina. On account of some minor
amendments the bill will have to be
sent bach to tbe Senate, bat there is
little doubt but that it will pass be
fore Congress adjourns. It is be
lieved that President Coolidge will
sign the bill, and. if so, it goes into
effect on the day he signs it.
The middle district created by the
bill is composed of the following coun
ties: Alamance, Allegahny, Ashe,
Cabarrus, Caswell, Chatham, David
son, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Hoke,
Lee, Montgomery, Orange, Person,
Randolph, Richmond, Rockingham,
Rowan, Stanly, Stokes, Surry, Wa
tauga, Wilkes and Yadkin.
Courts will be held in this district
at Rockingham, Winston-Salem,
Greensboro, Wilkesboro and Salis- j
bury. . I
The passage of the bill is expected
to be the signal for a fight among
North Carolina Republicans for of
fices created by the act. A new judge
for the middle district must be ap
pointed. The bill takes United States
District Attorney Frank Linney, of
Boone, out of the Western district
and places him in the middle dis
trict. If he wishes, he can be dis
trict attorney for the middle dis
trict, it is thought, and a new dis
trict attorney for the Western dis
trict will have to be appointed. A
United States marshall and a clerk
of the court will ba appointed for
the middle district.
Among those who are expected to
be candidates for the new judgeship
are Johnson J. Hayes, of Greensboro,
Republican National Committeeman;
Mr. Linney; A. H. Price, of Salis
bury; H. F. SeaweH, of Carthage;
and A. A. Whitened of Hickory. It
is believed here, however, that the
real fight will be between Hayes and
Linney. If Linney should be named,
two new district attorneys will be ap
pointed. &$*■; .fc:... ....

SATURDAY IS DATE FOR
SHERIFFS SETTLEMENT
Saturday afternoon is the time
set by the county commissioners
for final settlement with ex-sheriff
J. Free Cranford. The defaulting

of his surety failed to make their
appearance on that date. There
fore, the county board set the date
up two weeks and this time is out

Cranford, is in town, and the pre

ent Saturday when the commis
sioners call for a show down.
Sheriff Cranford resigned more
than a month ago, and the final
settlement which was due not later
than May of last year, but was not
called for by the old board, has
been hanging fire since that time.
