MISSING MAN.
Mitchell Barber Believed to
Have Deserted Wife for
Another.

Mitchsll May six weeks ago Rex
Carpenter, a barber, who had been
working in barber shop in this city,
disappeared He was supposed to have
left on the morning of March % for
Hawarden. To-, where ne had bought
barber shop, and to which he shipped
his household goods. The day before
he sent his wife and child to Hudson
to remain while he got things ready at
Hawarden. He was last seen when he
left the hotel the next morning to go to
the train.
One theory was that while on the
way to the train at 8 80 O. clock in the
morning he was held up and robbed of
what money he had and his body
thrown into the small lake near the
Milwaukee roundhouse. Finally the
railroad lake was dragged, but nothing
was there
Today d. F. Wade, who conducts a
barber shop in this city, and by whom
Carpenter was employed, received a
postal card dated at Cheyenne, Wyo.
Glancing at the handwriting, Mr..
Wouo i"iuculdlely Iudu6 up HIS NINA
that it was the writing of Carpenter.
He went to the hotel register where
Carpenter had signed his name, and
the characteristics of several letters
were at once recognized in the writing.
Mr.. Wade gave it as his opinion that
it was the handwriting of Carpenter,
and that there was no posi- bility of his
having been killed or done away with.
Other circumstances which have come
to light since CARPENTER disapI earance
gives strong suspicion that it was his
intention to send his wife to their for
mer home and then desert her, and the
belief is strengthened from the fact
that he could have accompanied his
wife to Hudson on the same day and
gone to Hawarden on the same train,
reaching there that day. One or two
other incidents have also come to light
to show that Carpenter was anxious to
leave. Letters are said to have been
found which passed between himself
and Sioux Falls woman.
