HAD $4,000: NOW MISSING.
1t is Feared Sioux Falls MAJ Ma
Have Been Slain.

Fears are entertained that Hans
Hanson, aged about so. has been the
victim of foul play. He has mysterl-
ously disappeared from Sioux Fails,
and at the time of his disappearance
he is known 90 have hal the sum OF
$1,000 in cash and a draft for 81 500
in his possession. A part of this sum
had been sent him from the old coun-
try. He also received recently drafts
from MinOt, n. D., all of which he con-
vcrted into cash, except the draft for
$1,000.
The missing man had talked with
his employer, Ole TOTkelsOn, proprle-
tor of a shoe repairing establishment.
about renting an adjoining building
and engaging in the boot and shoe
business. 1t is reported that the
building had in realty been rented by
Hanson and that he this week intend
ed purchasing his stock of boots and
shoes. Hanson was last seen at his
boarding house, when he emerged
from his room for the purpose of get
ting a drink of water. He then return
ed to his room. An Investigation the
following morning showed that his
bed had not been occupied, he having
disappeared during the night 1t is
feared that someone who became
aware of the large sun of money in
his possession made away with him in
order to secure possession of the cash.
