SEEK PAIR IN ST. PAUL.
Sioux Falls Livery Employe and Wife
Disappear and $205 Is Missing.

anu VGOo - WIootuSs
The Sioux Falls authorities are en-
%deavoring to locate a man named
Fred Malloy, who is charged with
having fled from Sioux Falls with a
roll of $205 in bills which had beer
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 a hack,
was the wner of part Of the money,
and the remainder belonged to a man
who left it with him for a short time.
Wamsley's duties require him to be
out until about 2 o'clock in the NORM
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 1t 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
2 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 a few
days before, had hastily packed their
belongings and departed on a train
for st. Paul. The police rel notified
and efforts now are being made to To-
cate Malloy SO he can be arrested and
brought back to Sioux Falls.

IS It THE BLACK HAND?
LOCAL SALOON MEN BELIEVE
UNSEEN FACTION WILL
RUIN THEM.

There is sentiment prevailing
among the saloon men of the city that
the BLACK hand" of jealousy and spite
is slowly but surely closing in on the
marked men of the liquor trade The
members of this alleged unseen and
mysterious faction are not known, but
1t is evident from the two recent ar
rests that they can be heard from when
they Yet choose.
1T is all fOolishness to even believe
that the better class of saloon men in
Walla Walla will take the chance of
selling liquor to a minor" said a well
known. liquor dealer today. 1T is to his
own benefit to refuse a person whom
he believes to be minor If he has
any sense at all he knows full we'll
that two or three drinks is not worth
risking his license for. While l am not
familiar with the Dryden affair, l
know personally that the Senate sa-
loon has always been conducted strict
ly according to the law. and the bar
tenders have been given strict orders
to refuse all minors. If saloons are to
be conducted in Wala Walla. | be-
lieve that the best men available
should run them, and if a minor mis-
representing his age secures liquor
from the saloons. he should be the first
person to feel the strength of the law"
