cially and by mutual agreement they
We're to separass."
HER WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN.
Since Miss Samuelsen went away
nothing has been heard from her She
has relatives living at Crookston. Mimi.
but they know not of her present
whereabouts Her people in Sweden
have heard nothing from her and like
the unfortunate Henrietta, she is mis-
sing as if she has been swallowed UP
by the earth.
A SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.
A singular. and rather significant
circumstance in this connection was
that the pastor called upon Annles
aunt about the time she received the
telegram and letter and he also ex-
hibfted a letter purporting to have been
written by her and which was to the
effect that she had broken the en-
gagement and gone TO the old country.
WERE THEY WRITTEN BY HER
MANS?
When the letters were scrutindzed
yesterday and compared with his own
handwriting there is strong resemb-
lance and the police are of the opinion
the letters were written by none other
IMAM the pastor himself.
PAWNED HER WATCH AND RING.
Another suspicious circumstance de-
veloped when it was found that An
ME Samuelsen's gold watch and ring
had been pawned by Mr.. Hermans IN
a pawnshop at the corner Of Second
South and Main. 1t appears that when
the preacher left for the east on the
9Th of this month his finances were not
in the best of condition and by put
ting up the missing girls jewelry he
secured $40. But Il rather peculiar fea-
ture in this connection is the fact that
Mr.. Hermans wrote Presiding Elder
Mark from Kansas City inclosing the
pawn ticket. Had it not been for this
the discovery of the jewelry might not
have been made.
HE WRITES A LETTER.
The following letter was written from
Kansas City about May 9Th, 1896:
Kansas City, Saturday.
Rev. E. E. Mork, Brigham City.
Dear Friend:-Just a line in haste
to tell you that as our train was late
we did not make connection at Denver,
and therefore had to lay over there
for a day, and did not reach here I'm
til this Saturday evening. AS | can
net now reach DEBORAH for Sunday l
will stay here until Monday morning
as L need rest for Sunday. do not
feel at all well, but trust all will soon
be right.
If you should not get the money be-
fore our note in the bank is due please
ask Mr. Stout to hold it over for a
few days and towards the end of the
week you will have at least $3.50 and
still there is more to follow.
/ am sorry for the delay but it can't
be helped.
Please accept of my regards.
Yours, etc,
FRANCIS HERMANS.
Another letter inclosed in the above
ran as follows:
NOT LONG FOR THIS WORLD.
Kansas City.
Private
I enclose herewith ticket for some
things 1 had to loan money on when I
left Salt Lake. as [ had not enough to
pay my fare otherwise. You can do
what you like with it. I also send
you Lotta's letter as a relic, I don't
care for such a curiosity; I will never
need it. l feel my time is not long in
this world and in the next we don't
need such things. FIJI
When Hernans was connected
with the disappearance of Miss
Samuelsen, Presiding Elder Mork
at once thought of the let
ter and pawn ticket. In COM
pany with Armies aunt he went to the
pawnshop and the jewelry was found
to belong to Annie.
