ties, Believed to Be Here

Ferdinand HauSs, Jr. prominent in
bueinesS and soc!ai CIRCLES Of hdryS-
vile, California, VINO Suddenly depart
&C from that city unInr suspicion OF
having defrauded creditors to the eX-
tent of $4,000 or more. and Mrs.
Fauss, may be in Hoy L.Ilu.
This much is believed since The re-
Cc,pt of advices from Marysville in
Honolulu yesterdc" TNe information
stated the belief hat FauSs' destina-
ton was Honolulu and Il further de-
clared friends of the alleged Marys-
vile ahsconder had tipped off a
newspaper in the California city to
the alleged fact that Hauss was Ho-
nolulu-bound.
No warrant had been sworn out at
the time the information was despatch
ed from the California city, few days
ago, but il was expected at that time
that a criminal complaint would be
filed by Hauss' creditors at any time.
1t is believed that If Hauss came to
Honolulu he did so under an assumed
name, which in any event was prob
able. as the passenger lists do not
identify Ferdinand Hauss, Jr.
lieved that II Hauss came to Honolulu
he did so under an assumed name,
which, in any event was propable. as
the passenger lists do not identify
Ferdinand Hauss, Jr.
Hauss, as near. as can be ascer' ain
ed at this time, went to MarysVhle
several months ago and during the
drying season he leased a place near
the city and started a drying plant,
according to. the sMarysville Democrat,
After completing this he commenc-
ed to purchase grapes and in few
weeks bought upta large quantity from
the various yineyardists throughout
Suffer county. The grapes Were haul
ed to- his driving plant near Bogue.
where a large force of men were kept
at work and the, plant was kept in
operation throughout the greater part
of the drying season. Young Hauss
sold the greater portion of his raisins
to Rosenberg Bros, and made delivery
to their packing house in Yuba City.
Several hundred fons of raisins were
purchased from Hauss by Rosenberg
Bros, and as sool as delivery was
made Hauss would draw the money
for the raisins. In this way he man.
aged to keep his account with Rosen-
berg Bros. pretty Well drawn on.
S. With the money which he drew
from Rosenberg Bros. II is said Haass
paid off some of his old creditors and
a few Of ossefrom whom he purchas.
ed grapes. besides also paying for the
operation of his Trying plant through
which he was under a heavy expense,
and after dpfpg this II Is thought he.
departed m fields anew leaving e.
few OF those from whom he had pur-ll
chased grapes unpaid. ...-@
1t is stated by HaHss' friends that.
he has goae TO Honolulu, although
this could not be verified. 1t is al.
legged that Hanss owes one of his cred.
itors as much as $4,000 for the crop,
of raisins which he purchased.
AS yet there has been no complaint
sworn out against Hauss, although it
is probable that one viii be issued in.
the near future, II the rumors are not
unfounded. The sheriff's office of
Suffer county. when asked concerning
the case, denied any knowledge of the.
matter. 1t Is alleged that some of
Hauss' creditors knew him from other
experiences in their dealings with
him and kept his trail hot until he,
paid them and that they are the only
ones now who, can congratulate them
selves for. being shrewd enough to
secure their money. -.
