Sioux City. Ia, Jan. l1.-Informa-
ton has been received by the au-
thorities here that Henry Peters,
hackman, supposed to have been MUIR
dered ten years ago and burned in a
brewery, is living in Oklahoma. Pc
tiers disappearance was one of the
mysteries connected with the famous
HaddOck murder case in the latter
sos. Haddock was the Methodist
preacher murdered here for his re-
lentless war on saloons. One of the
principal witnesses desired by the
prosecution was Henry Peters, hack
man, known to have driven the party
of liquor dealers, of whom Arensdorf
was one, about the city a short time
before Haddoek was killed. But from
the date of the murder Peters disap-
peared. He was sought far and wide
and the story finally gained circula-
ton that he had been killed and his
body cremated in a furnace under
Arensdorf's brewery. A letter has
been received from +. NJ. Tomlinson,
now touring Oklahoma, saying that
he knows where Peters can be found
and Offering more definite informa-
tiOn.
