WHERE Is ANTEL SrENBERG:

stHi Another Man Missing From the
NsishbOrhood.
What has become of AXtel Stem
berg?
Stenberg is not known to have
worked for BastiaI, nor is there any
evidence at hand that he ever met
him, but the last heard of him Is
months ago he was out in that
neighborhood calling at different
farm houses as a peddler. He had
worked about Augustana college in
this city for short time prior to his
departure, wben he left to 90 out
into the country. He intended can
wasting Black Hawk township first,
and the last heard of him he was in
the Bastiau neighborhood. No trace
OF him has since been found. and his
resemblance to Fritz kreinsen, whose
portrait was published in last even
ing's ARGUS, has reawakened the
speculation at the college today as to
what has become Of him.
Kreinsen's Watch Identified.
This morning Sheriff Hemenway
took the silver watch found under
the COW barn, to II. ID. Folsom. who
recognized it as a silverine watch he
had sold to Fritz Kreinsen one Fourth
of July seven or eight years ago.
Mr.. Folsom remem bers kreinsen
having come in with William Bas-
tian, a cousin of Henry Bastian, Gus
Bracket and Charles Albrecht. and all
having. purchased watches alike. He
associates the transaction with the
holiday occasion. This is important
in proving that Kreinsen has, like
Lauderbach, whose watch was found
with it, persisted at Bastian's
farm. Both these timepieces. like
the revolver. have the appearance OF
having been through fire, so that
it seems that the iiend attic np;ed to
destroy this evidence by fire first, and
finding that it failed, he buried it.
From Lsud-rbach's Relatives.
Peter Grampp. of this city. yester.
day received from his brother-iu-law

Spouse to further inquiries made by

immediately went over to Lauderbachs folks
| and asked them If they had ever heard from
| their son. and they said that they had mo-
heard a word and had no address of him us hi
had not been writing. He must be dead as n,
was never known to neglect his writing be

| Still further proof as to Lauder
bach was found last evening in the
recovery of two German papers adj
dres ,ed to Lauder bach's friend, Peter
Grampp in this city, and from whom
he had doubtless received them
They bore dates of January and Feb
rurary 1895, and were found under
the northwest corner of the barn.
Looking Into the Old Well.
Today the sheriff's forces are COZ
tinuing their investigation of the
premises. John Littig, Of this city
who dug and bricked we'll on the
Bastian farm southwest OF the house
years ago, having gone out to point
ont the location of it. This well has
since been filled up, and it may con.
tain hidden secrets that will add to
the horrible disclosures of the farm
Littig formerly owned the farm
and he promptly located the we'll
12) yards northwest of the house.
Digging into it Is feet a trunk han.
die and also the sides of trunk were
