WOULD SEE SIGNATURE
MRS. FRANK RICE THINKS MES
SAGE FROM HER MISSING HUS-
BAND MAY BE A HOAX.

Upon the Identification of a signature
to a telegram, may depend the solution
of the mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Frank Rice, formerly Cen,
trail avenue merchant. The telegram
was sent to Mrs. Rice, in MINNEAPOLIS,
from Omaha, saying that Rice would be
homo soon. The telegraph company has
been asked to produce the original mes,
sage filed a month ago, so that it may
be determined if it was sent by Rice.
Rice left Minneapolis before Christ,
mast to go to Omaha to sell slot ma,
chimes in partnership with another man
He wrote home regularly until about a
month ago when the telegram was sent
Since then no word has been received
from him, and his wife fears that he
met with foul play, and that the mes
sage was a hoax. The partner is also
missing.
Rice formerly conducted a grocery
store on Central avenue, but disposed OF
it to enter the employ Of Armour & Co
He left that firm in December, and en-
gagged in the slot machine business.
