KEOKUK, Iowa, Sept. 13. - John H. Craig, for many years a leading attorney of this city, died this morning after a long illness. He was stricken in the courtroom several years ago while addressing a jury and never recovered. For sixteen years he was a member of the school board and ten years president. He was at one time prominent in politics as a democratic leader. As a public speaker his services were always in demand.
