Mt. Pleasant, July 24-This city was
aroused to frenzy of excitement last
night by the arrest of Frank Bohne. a
young business man of the town, by
Marshal Knudsen and Sheriff Jensen.
being suspected of knowing something
Of the whereab bouts Of Alif Grace. an
associate of .BOhne's in the bicycle and
tlnSmith business. The arrest of BOhne
Is based wholly on suspicion and the
circumstances surrounding the case.
which the officers considered of suffi-
Client consequence to justify them in
making a show against him.
Young Grace disappeared from the
city on Monday evening, the 18th inst,
and has not been seen or heard from
since. He was last seen about o O'Clock
on the evening in question by Mrs.
Frank BOhne. She was going up Main
street at that hour and claims 10 have
met the missing man then in front Of
the bicycle store as he was going down
the street. If the ground had opened
then and swallowed his he could not
nave more completely disa ppeared from
view, Notwithstanding the peace Of
hcerS have made every effort to IOca te
MIN or get some trace Of his move
ments since that time
1t IS known that CSraCO'S domestic re-
latIOnS were not of the most pleasant.
He had expressed a desire the morning
Of the preceding day to leave town for
a days fishing, and his wife had 90
Jected 10 his going. He had resented
this objection all day and the day fol-
lowing. In the evening he had gone to
his home as usual and after supper
had removed his working clothes and
put on more preSentable ones and an
nounced his intention of going to a
meeting or the A o. I. ". lodge, of
which he was a member. He did not
go 10 the lodge, but disappeared, as
above stated.
But little was thought of his absence
at the time, but as the days went by
and TO udings were received of him
some alarm was felt and the officers
started to work on the case. They had
not connected BOhne seriously with
the mystery, although il was known
that the two had had frequent serious
disagreements, and alterations had
been narrowly aveTted- In talking the
matter over. however. with the wives
of the two men. who are sisters. they
were informed, il is said, that BOhne
himself had made the remark that he
had had suspicion directed at him as
being responsible for GraCO's disap-
pearance- This gave the officers "A clew
and they approached BOhne. He was
taken to the city hall and put under q
rigid dissemination. He answered
some of the questions and, according
to the officers, cOntradicted himself
rather seriously several times, and
finally refused 20 answer any more Of
the questions.
The officers kept him confined in the
city Jail all the evening. attempting at
other times to get Information from
him by questioning, but being met
with d refusal to talk. They finally
released him, as the evidence which
they had at command was not sufficient
to justify formal complaint. He is
now at liberty and is today attending
to his business as usual.
