Herbert S. Main, a local boy, employee of the Durham and Southern railway company, who mysteriously disappeared from Dunn three weeks ago, has not been located by members of his family and by others, who have aided in the search for him. Friends here fear that he has met with foul play, and are very much concerned about his failure to show up.
Mr. Bain is said ot have had a considerable amount of money with him when last seen. A local jitney driver says that he carried the young man out to a cross roads intersection about three miles from town and was told to meet him there some time later. When he drove back after him he was not to be found anywhere, and his friends here have not seen or heard from him since.
Carlisle Bain, older brother of the missing boy, has made a state wide search for Herbert, but his efforts to locate him have met with no success. His clothing except his working overalls are in his room at the boarding house of Mrs. Julia Denning, where he roomed. The local police department has been notified to help ascertain whether there has been any foul play in the case of young Bain.
Both Herbert and his older brother, Carlisle are veterans of the world war. Herbert was a member of the local baseball club before his mysterious departure, and was one of the most dependable players on the local team. He has always been noted for his strength and physical powers, and his friends here are certain that if he did meet foul play he left fistic results behind.
From The Dunn Dispatch, Tuesday, August 2, 1921. Fistic—having to do with fighting with the fists.
