CHE RALEIGH EVENING TIMES: WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1907. THE MAN HAS VANISHED Fate of Charlie Crowder In volved Id Mystery The Police Have an Idea That He Met With Foul Tlay The Search Continues nnd the Rumors arc thick.! (Special to The Evening Times.) Lexington, N. C, July 10 For a full month past there has been more or Ies3 talk about a young fellow named Charlie Crowder disappearing com pletely and mysteriously from this town. As the days passed interest in the case increased and It now be comes rather exciting. The officers have taken notice. On June the 12th, which was Wednesdayat 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Crowder went to his boarding house, the home of Mr. W. I j. McCrary, changed his clothes, put ting on the worst he ' had, ate a luncheon and stated that he was go ing Ashing at Abbott's creek, two miles from town. Ho said he was go ing with Will and Jeff Miller and Ed. Kamuels, all four being employes in the I glass factory. He left the house, and that Is the last the McCrarys ever saw of him. The little party was seen at the creek by others. They were near a deep, dangerous hole In the creek, where perhaps a dozen people have lost their lives In the past score of years. What happened is only con jecture, but nobody save his compan ions has seen Crowder around Lexing ton since then. The 'Millers say that they came back to town with Crowder and left him at the railroad bridge on Center street. They left In a day or two and it is not known where they are. Mr. Samuel lives here and he Buys they left Crowder at the creek. Witnesses state that they were all drinking. Prior to the day he disappeared, it is related that Crowder had a little row with the Millers over borrowed mon ey, and after the fuss was abruptly stopped by the boarding house keeper, one of the Millers Is said to have told Crowder, "That's all right, old boy. AVc'il get you later." This lends color to the idea advanced by the officers that there has been foul play. A party of officers went to the creek for the purpose 'of dragging ramie '-of it. hut could not do so without fur ther preparation. Yesterday it was rumored.-over town that a badly de composed body had been found in the creek, but there was nothing In the rumor. Various reports are circulated about tin- case, and many people believe th it Crowder has been made way with, while others declare that he simply ran away to beat his bonrd Mil. His host does not incline to this Idea, say ing that he always paid his bills reg ularly, and that he owed him only a few "dollars, whereas he left $50- worth of property at the hoarding house. It may he that there s absolutely nothing l:i th" case, and still there may be. So far there Is little light on it and in the meantime speculation li rife.'. BAD FIRE IN THE ORPHANS' HOME (Ry leased Wire to The Times.) New York. July 10. Fire started this forenoon in one of the buildings of the Hebrew Orphans' Home, at One Hundred anil Thirty-eighth street and Amsterdam avenue. The flames spread rapldy and in a short time threatened the destruction of the building. The children were quickly marshalled in line and marched to the street. .,'...'..-:, Half an hour after the start of the fire it was announced that It was be lieved all had got o;it of the burning building and were safe. The children were In bed when the lira was discovered, and a serious panic was averlod only by the cool ness of the people in charge. '.. The little ones had been schooled by fire drills, and, despite the smoke and excitement, kept their nerve as they were ordered into line. COULDN'T KEEP IT. Kept it Hid From the Children. "We cannot keep Grape-Nuts food In the house. It goes so faBt I have to hido it, because tlio children love It so. It is just the food I have been looking for ever no long; some thing that I do not have to stop to prepare and still Is nourishing." Grape-Nuts is the most scientifi cally made food on the market. It is perfectly and completely cooked at the factory and can be served. at an instant's notice, either with rich cold cream, or wltrt hot milk if a hot dish is desired. When milk or wator ;is used, a little sugar should be added, but when cold cream Is imJ alone the natural grape-sugar, which can be seen glistening on the granules, Is sufficiently sweet to satisfy the palate. This grape-sugar Is not poured over the granules, as Dome people think, but exudes from the granules In tho process of manu facture, when the starch of the grains is changed from starch to grape-sugar by the process of manu facture. This, in effect, Is the first act of digestion; therefore, Grape Nuts food Ib pre-dlgested and Is most perfectly assimilated by the very weakest stomach. "There's a Rea son' -. .

Dispensary Doing Dig Business. A Park Proposed. The Board of Aldermen was In ses sion again last night, continuing part of the business held over from last Friday's meeting. The street question was the' main talk of the evening, and If words were paving stones, Raleigh couldn't kick on a shortage of material after last night's session. Alderman Dowell said that he had promised better streets In his ward, and that Blount street between Martin and Edenton was particularly in need of being worked upon. Alderman J. S. Unchurch said that his ward had been unkindlv neglected, with only $300 worth of street improvements in eight long years. Alderman Taylor told a pitiful story of the washing away of the third ward, and implored that something be done to save the re maining property. When the mix-up was untangled, it Was found that Mr. Dowell's street resolution had passed, and that Mr. Heartt's proposition to improve Blount street from Davie to Lenoir had cased through. About $5,000 of the city's coin will be necessary for these long needed improvements. Drinks Sundays. Anyone who has a soft drink outfit may now put up a plausible excuse for not attending Sunday school. Al derman Taylor got his motion passed to repeal the ordinance against the sale of soft drinks on Sunday, Mr. Taylor made another resolution which passed, allowing the fire department jto sell all the unused junk it has on hand. '.'''..'. .'.-' Dispensary Receipts. The dispensary receipts for the past three months were reported to be $6, 932.32,. a truly enormous figure for booze In the summer time. Mounted Letter Carriers. The board decided that street signs shall be placed in the new parts of Greater Raleigh, so that pedestrians and other navigators can get their hearings. Fifty dollars was appro priated to cover the expense. It is in timated that two mounted letter car- iriers will be put into service' to accom jmodate residents of the new portions. I'rooosed Park.

Street Car Extension. There will be another meeting called to talk about the street car line exten-(but sion.

IT IS DISGRACEFUL Saturnalia of Drunkenness on ttic Cars Railroad Detectives Say That Tliry Will Put a Stop to it by Haling Offenders to the Court Fight , and Indecent I language. (Special to Tho Evening Times.) Lexington, N. C , July 10. That the new stato law against drinking and ..-disturbing passengers on trains out of Salisbury Is going to be en forced by tho Southern Railway offi cers Is made plain by both word and action of Special Agent J. G. Ahern, of tho criminal department of the Danville division, whose headquart ers is at Greensboro, lie had so much trouble with a motley crew of drunken men on the night of the. Fourth, coming up from Salisbury on No. 12, that ho declared to your correspondent he was going to ride every train and that he would stop the trouble if possible, lie said he would not only arrest and take he fore the mayors along tho lino any one who took a drink or created a row, but would carry them before tho grandjury and prosecute them still further. On tho night, of the Fourth he said he never had seen such a mess in his twenty-five years of experience. Whiskey was spilled In the cars, oaths and indecent lan guage used and several fights pulled off. Mr. Ahern Bald that a night or two before a lady passenger had fainted at tho prospect of a shooting scrape between two drunks in the car. On the whole It has come to such a pass on the Friday and Satur day night trains north from Salis bury that .the detectives are deter mined to stay with these trains until the practice Is broken up.

OAKLEY IS FOUND DEAD Indications are That He Com mitted Suicide The Dody Discovered in the Natato riuni at Lakewood Park, Durham. The Humor of Murder Has Little or No Foundation. (Special to The Evening Times.) Durham, N. C, July 10. The body of Charles T. Oakley, agent for the Singer Sewing Machine Com pany at Roxboro, was found in the natatorium at Lakewood park late yesterday afternoon, indicating from the mark on his head that Oakley conjmitted suicide by throwing himself into the watyjr when no one was looking. He ap peared at the park about 10 o'clock in the morning and had a conversa tion with several that Chanced to be there, and if he had any purpose of killing himself did not allude to his fatal intentions. When last seen alive he was standing near the nata torium this was shortly alter 11 o'clock. The park policeman was passing through about 3 :;',() o'clock when he noticed a hat on the water. On closer investigating he saw the body of Oakley, which was . immediately taken from the waters. An investi gation followed shortly. There was a large bruise inflicted over his right eye, and It is judged from that, that in jumping into the water ho struck his head against the cement embank ment on the side and was knocked unconscious. The water at this point is some ten feet deep, and it is likely that he would have drowned had he not received the fatal blow in the fall. The cause of his act is attributed to despondency, and it has been intimated that he has been drinking during the past few days. He had been spending several days in Durham and was registered at the Biltmorc hotel since Sunday. He remained close in his room till day Sunday, and when he left Mon day morning the proprietor noticed that he did not return during the day, but thought possibly that he had gone home. Oakley has been manager for the Singer Company at Roxboro several years, and was at o:ie time connected with a firm in this city. His relatives live near Hillsboro, where he spout, his early lite, and he is reported to have. conic aifl.()m ,h.,t ,,,.. wh(,n 0iUm, 1() Durham. He is widely known in this section -and has a good name. It was rumored that, the young man had been murdered and thrown into the water to cover the crime, this theory is absolutely without foundation, and the suicide the ory Is beyond a reasonable doubt the way he ended his life. The coro ner did not hold an inquest over the remains, as there was nothing that indicated foul play. Mr. Oakley was some thirty years of age. lOWEKV A XI) (JAIM)V SAID TO HAVE I'.KEX LYNCHED. (Special to The Evening Times.) Lexington, N. C, July 10. While a number of men were discussing murders and criminals, one of the crowd handed out the information that Oscar Gaddy, the big negro who deliberately shot and killed Foreman EiibanUs at l.ane Bros.' railroad camp, near here, lastsumnier, was not and had not been In tho hind of the living since the day of his crime. This man stated that Gaddy was caught, and shot by the infuriated man-hitnteir, on that Sunday when he shot and killed Eitbanks. ...People swarmed till over the country around the scene of the ''murder, and U is possible that Gaddy was "fixed," al though there is no proof. This case reminds one that several sensible men in Cleveland county have often declared that, the man liowery who killed the chief of police in Shelby was killed soon after the crime, and the matter hushed up. Personally I know of ono prominent man over there who has time and again declared that Lowery was Killed. Sl'NDAY TRAINS. Raleigh to Faycttevlllo and return, $1.00 round trip.
