MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Strange Disappearance of DeIma
kraia, a Domestic of Sioux Falls.

80
Sioux Falls, s. d., Oct. 26.-Mystery
surrounds the disappearance from his
,ity of Delma Kraig, a 1~6-year-old girl,
who for some time has been employed
as Il domestic in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. T. Felland. That she intended
10 commit suicide Is indicated by notes
and letters which she left, giving as
l reason the alleged fact thai physi-
cians had told her she could not live
more. than II year. So far as known
she has always been in the best of
health. A careful search of the river
has been made by the local police, but
without success and no trace OF her
ran be found. There is an impression
in police circles hat instead Of com
hitting suicide she went to Sioux City,
where h resided prior to coming to
Sioux Falls. The intimations Of suicide
are believed to have been given out
Tor the purpose of covering up her
movements. The missing girls mother
resides at Yankton, and she has a sis
ter at Omaha. but the name of the lat
ter cannot be ascertained.
