WAS NOT MURDERED.
Mysterious Disappearance Of Dakota
Farmer Mystery No Longer.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. April At has
now been ascertained that Chris Sven.
q farmer who mysteriously disappeared
in his city some weeks age under cir
cumstances which some believed
pointed to murder. is alive and well.
1t is reliably reported that recently. inn
mediately prior to the departure OF
Mrs. Sven for hardwood. Ia. to take
up her permanent home with relatives
at that place. she received n letter from
her missing husband.
Sven wrote and mailed the letter at
Bergen. Norway, n its receipt con-
firms the belief of many that he had
not been murdered. but would eventual
ly turn up at his old home In Norway.
That because OF domestic difficulties
Sven quietly left Sioux Falls for his
old home in Europe cannot longer be
doubted. The recen arrest of twen-
ty-four persons in this city at one
time was in connection with h dis
appearance of Sven. the arrests being
made on suspicion that the parties ar
rested had been implicated in or knew
something concerning his disappear
ancc.
