RAY REGAIN IS
NOT SLAIN man
MAN, BELIEVED BY SOME OF HIS
FRIENDS TO HAVE BEEN MUIR
DERED AT cLYNDoN, TURNS
UP AT THE sHERIFF's OFFICE
TODAY.

The mystery Of the Identity OF the
man. who was found murdered near
Glyndon about two weeks ago, was
made more beclouded today by the
appearance in person, at the office Of
Sheriff Whaley, of Ray Regain, whose
friends at Detroit thought was the
murdered man, after viewing the pic
lures of the dead man displayed to
them by Sheriff Whaley. There is
some resemblance, enough for people
who knew Regan to reach the conclu-
sion they did. Mr.. Regain heard of the
matter yesterday and to remove all
doubt he came himself to Moorhead to
clear the matter up as far as he was
concerned. Mr.. Regan, however, says
the unknown dead man may be his
brother whom he has not heard from
since the early part Of the summer.
He win open communication with mis-
folks in Michigan at once to learn, If
possible, the whsreabouts of his broth
err, Dave Regan@
In connection with this case Sheriff
Whaley says the paper wrapper, about
some OF the dead mans effects, on
which was written the word "Regan'
was ordinary plain wrapping paper,
similar to that used in laundries and
not newspaper as has been erron-
eously stated.
Further information this afternoon
is to the effect that the Ray Regain
who showed up today was yesterday
working within half hour walk from
the Moorhead courthouse, for a Louis
Larson. The two postal cards referr-
ed to in the report of the finding Of
a possible clue. however, were writ
ten by Sheriff Whaley's caller today.
