gagged in the drug business at Ambia,
left his home last Saturday for Chicago,
and, upon arriving there. sought his
brother, E. w. Fix. From the latter he
learned that Alvin had left Chicago for
St Paul the night of Sept. 81. 1t is be-
lieved that he took Wisconsin Central
train.
Friends Oh the Search.
Fl. F. Fix lest Chicago last Sunday.
arriving IN st. Paul Monday, and is still
stopping here. When seen at the Sher-
man house last evening. Mr.. Fix related
the story as already told. During his
stay here he has conferred with Chief of
Police Clark. and has also posted the
Minneapolis police department. Mr..
Fix is satisfied that his missing brother
reached this city, and does not believe
that lie ever boarded train bound for
the coast, though he might have gone
SO far as to purchase his ticket here.
Zone popularity my brother always
had" said Mr.. Fix; "he Invariably
bought his railroad tickets of scalpers.
l hive not visited their offices yet. but
intend doing so tomorrow, In the hope
that II my brother did buy a ticket the
man who sold it might remember the
circumstance. for ScalperS would seldom
have straight ticket on hand reading
from st. Paul to Seattle or some other
point equally as far West. They would
probably have TO give their customer a
combination ticket, made up of mileage
part of the way.
Furthermore" continued Mr.. Fix,
my brothers personal appearance is
somewhat out of the common. He was
a man of only medium height, but
weighed 220 pounds. His hair was par
TALLY gray, his complexion sandy. and
his age thIrty-nine. He wore no beard
or mOustache."
Mr.. Fix then read from a memoran-
DUN book the following
Description of the Clothing
worn by his brother when last seen by
his relatives: He was dressed i'll light
gray trousers and lighter gray sack
coat and vest. He wore brown Derby
nat, and . carried solid gold open faced
watch attached to solid gold chain,
from which hung the K. of P. watch
charm. He had S125 in cash i'll his
pocket and carried hand satchel. His
remaining baggage consisted of large
grip, which he checked.
MIR. Fix has scrutiniZed all the hotel
registers in the Twin cities, but the
name of his missing brother cannot. be
found upon their pages. He also ex-
amlhed every grip and vallse in the
baggage rooms of all railroad lines, but
without finding any trace of his BROTH
er,s grip and valise.
Mr.. Fix is naturally 10th to express
any theories upon the matter. His
brother. so he says, was a temperate
man, methodical and regular in all his
habits and transactions. For nine years
past he has been engaged in the real
estate business III the state of Washing
ton.
The most likely theory seems to be
that the missing man met with foul
play, and was perhaps waylaid by thugs
and made away with. The finding of
his watch charm by the bootblack
would indicate that there might have
been struggle, in which the charm
was lost upon the street. 1t is scarcely
likely that the boy found it inside of
dwelling or hotel. Yet all is conjecture
at present, and the mystery may never
be cleared up.
