SEEK PAIR IN ST. PAUL.
Sioux Falls Livery EmpIoye and Wife
Disappear and $2o5 Is Missing.


The Sioux Falls authorities are en-
deavoring to locate man named
Fred Malloy, who is charged with
having fled from Sioux Falls with a
roll of 1905 in bills which had been
temporarily left with him for safe
keeping. Malloy is believed to be in
St. Paul.
For the past six weeks Malloy had
been employed as night man in the
livery establishment Of Coroner l.. D.
Miller. One of Miller's employees,
Marion Wamsley, who drives hack,
was the owner of part of the money,
and the remainder belonged to man
who left it with him for short time.
Wamsley's duties require him to be
out until about o'clock in the morn
ing, and as other persons knew of his
having the money, he decided not to
carry it with him, for fear Of being
held up and robbed.
Accordingly he turned it over to
Malloy with the request that. the lat
ter place it in the safe in the Miller
establishment. When Wamsley re-
turned to the establishment at about
Q o'clock in the morning he learned
that Malloy had left the barn about
four hours before and had not re-
turned. An investigation is alleged
to have disclosed that Malloy and his
wife, whom he had married only few
days before, had hastily packed their
belongings and departed on train
for st. Paul The police were notified
and efforts now are being made to To-
cate Malloy so he can be arrested and
brought hack to Sioux Falls.

Banson within a short time had
