Under Circumstances Indi-
eating Foul Play.

Sioux Falls, S. D., JAM. 29.-Known to
have had the sum of $40, 400 In cash and
a draft for $1,000 in his possession, Hans
Hanson has disappeared from Sioux
Falls under circumstances which cause
his friends to fear he has been the VIC
tim of foul play.
Hanson was last seen at his boarding
house. when he emerged from his room
for the purpose of getting a drink of
water. He then returned to his room.
An investigation the following morning
revealed that his bed had not been oc-
cupied, he having mysteriously disap-
peared during the night. 1t is feared
that some one who became aware that
he had the large sum of money in his
possession made away with him in or
der to secure possession of the money.
The missing mar is about so years of
age. A part of the money he had in
his possession had been sent to him
from h old country. He also recently
received drafts from Minot, N. D., all
of which he converted into cash except
the draft for 81 500.
