FOUL PLAY FEARED.
Strange Disappearance Of E. ]. BaldVin'S
Turf Representative.

New YORK, Jan. 30.-Thomas Reagan of
San Francisco, who has been Lucky Bald
wins turf representative in the East for
some time past, has disappeared with about
$1,000 In his possession. $1,000 of which be-
longs to the California millionaire. There
are suspicious that Reagan has met with
foul play this being the opinion OF his asso-
ciates in the Baldwin stable at the West
chester Race-track, as he has had an oppor-
tunity heretofore to decamp with a great
deal more money than the amount in his
possession when last seen. Reagan sold two
horses for Baldwin to George Mahon of Phil
adelphia just before Christmas. He went
TO Philadelphia and was paid by Mahon,
who took him to the Gloucester Race-track
and introduced him to several men. When
the young man returned to Weotchester he
vas accom- npanied by a dark rk-c0mp,eXl0ned
s';ap Arthur K. Ssdenhover. who has
charge of the horses at present. SAID lie uId
not like the strange mans appearance and
warned Reagan 10 be careful of himself. On
New Years day Reagan went to the Clifton
Race-track to bet on Macbeth II for the
New Years cup, and 1t was said at the time
that he won very heavily on the race. When
he came back from Clifton Reagan'S friends
say that he had in the neghDorhood of $1,000
In his pockets, counting $1,000 received from
Mahon tor Baldwin horses. Then Reagan
drew his back pay, which amounted to at
least $1,000, and was seen once or twice after
ward in company with the dark man. 1t is
now two weeks since Reagan was seen, and
away with. The police have been working
on the case for week or ten days, but SO
far they have obtained no clew whatever to
the missing man.
