Nl0BRARA MAN DISAPPEARS
Comes to Enter Hospital ana All
Trace of Him Lost since shortly
After Arrival.

A telephone message 10 the Omaha police
Monday night from Frank Nelson at
Niobrara, Neb.. asked the aid of the local
authorities in finding Charles Karistrahn.
a Swede IS years old, who came to Omaha
three weeks ago for the purpose of secur-
ing medical treatment and entering
hospital. Karlstrahm Is a person OF some
prominence in Niobrara and no word hav-
ing been received from him by his friends
there, since he came to Omaha, has
caused considerable anxiety.
II was learned Karistrahm, OF man
answering his description, called on DR..
Robert Gilmore two weeks ago, and II was
then arranged he should take a room at
the Wise Memorial hospital. An appoint
ment was made for both of them to be
at the hospital at a certain time the next
day.
Karlstrahm was on hand a little ahead
of time and utilized the interval In In
specting his room and was apparently
entirely pleased. AS Or. Gilmore drove up.
and was about to enter the hospital, he
met Karlstrahm going out. Asking him
where he was going and receiving salts
factory, though indefinitely reply, the
doctor went inside TO wait for him.
That was the last seen OF the old man
50 far as the police can learn. He never
returned inside the hospital or sent any
word. On coming to Omaha he had with
him about 500 In cash and his friends are
greatly worried, lest he has met foul play,
and are anxious to receive some infor-
nation regarding him.

RAwLINs, Wyo., Sept. lo.--Deputy Sheriff
johnson OF Wapanucka, TT, arrived here
to-day with W. j. Hickman, who has o n
fessed completely with his cousin, Hugh
Hickman, in the murder Of Arch Irwin and
his Young son, Thomas Irwin, While they
were travelling overland near this city last
June. .
Hickman claims his ousin Hugh fired
the bullets which killed Irwin and his son.
Irwin, his wife and their son left Oregon
last snmmer overland for their old home
in Oklahoma. The wife and mother suf-
fered from consumption, and the party
we're travelling in a prairie schooner with
two teams.
While in Wyoming Mrs. Twins condi-
tion became so bad that she was sent on
ahead by train, leaving her husband and
son to complete the journey overland.
Late in June the wagon used by the r.
wins was found near Hanna, bloOdstained
and with bullet holes through the front
board. The officers started back on the trail
and found portions Of wearing apparel.
Later Twins body was found near Pres
ton, twenty-eight miles west OF Rawlins
The features had been disfigured 30 that
recognition was almost impossible.

mains were discovered the body OF his son
was found also with the features disfigured
by gunshots.
One OF the teams had been turned looss
and the other was taken to Walcott and
sold. II wa through the sale OF this team
that the officials obtained their first clue
70 the murderors.
