Ferdinand HauSI. Jr. prominent in
business and soc.ar cIrrlc:, CT Marys-
VILE. California, WA sTddcnly depart
C: from hat city N IL! suspicion OF
having defrauded creditors 10 the eN-
tent OF $4,000 or more, and Mrs.
FAuss, may be in Hnr n.llU.
This much is believed since the re-
Cr'pt of advices from Marynville IN
Honolulu yeSterdH". I've Information
stated the belief 'Nat t'auss destina-
ton was Honolulu aaE II further de
clared friends Of the alleged MaryS-
vile absconder had tipped OIL a
newspaper in tho California city u
the alleged fact that Hauss was iio-
nolulu-bound.
No warrant had oeen sworn ont al
the time the information was despatch-
ed from the California city, few days
ago, but it was expected Al 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 50 under an assumed
name, which in any event was prob
able. as the. passenger lists do not
identify Ferdinand Hauss, Jr.
lieved that If HauSs came to Honolulu
he did so under an assumed name,
which in any event was propablC, as
the passenger lists do not identity
Ferdinand Hauss, Jr.
Hauss, as near as can be ascer' am
ed at this time, went to MarysVlile
several months ago and during tine
drying season he leased place near
the city and started a drying plant,
according to the Marysville Democrat.
After completing this he commenc-
ed to purchase grapes and in a few
weeks bought up large quantity from
the various vineyardists throughout
Suffer county. The grapes were haul
ed to his drying 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 ratsins
to Rosenberg Bros, and made delivery
to their packing house in Yuba City.
Several hundred tons of raiairs were
purchased from Hauss by Rosenberg
Bros, and sas 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 we'll drawn on.
With the money which he drew
from Rosenberg Bros. it is said Hauss
paid off some of his old creditors and
few of those from whom he purchas-
ed grapes, besides also paying for the
operation OF his drying plant through
which he was in6era heavy expense,
and after d8ing this It is thought he
departed for, fields anew. leaving a
few ofsthose from whom he had pur-
chased grapes unpaid.
It. is stated by Hauss' friends that
he has gone to Honolulu, although
this could mot sbe verified. 1t is al
legged that HauSs 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 will be issued in
the near future, if the rumors are not
nnfounded., The sheriffs 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.
