An unpresented rainfall which be

spent the night wandering about the
business district.
Police and fremen attempted to
warn residents in the Mexican sectiond

cut off before they could get out and
the police estimated the loss of life
in this district would be large

for the man." Robinson declared this
morning. However, it will have some
case to fight as Rauen and myself both

there, in which Mongvallano is alleged
to have been an active participant.
They claim that they have received
stories from certain Italians which con-
meet this man with another shooting
ARRAY in which one man was killed.
"We haven't enough information in
this matter to give out a statement"
said the police officers "The story is
simply one of those told among the
friends of this man who was shot and
we haven't been able to run it down.
The shooting is alleged to have taken
place somewhere up north, but the
story is very indefinite one"

where the shooting took place have
shown a great interest in the investi-

OLD MYSTERY is
NEAR SOLUTION
Relatives Learn More Re
garding A. j. Fredson,
Long Missing.
SCOUT WAR WEDDING

Today relatives of Anders J. Fred
sen Kenosha young man, who seven
teen years ago drifted away from this
more than fifteen years, began to learn
more about the life of the missing man
during the time that he was away from
Kenosha. The investigation has come
as result of the efforts of the gov
eminent officials in tracing down the
relatives of Fredsen, who died as
soldier in France, and who carried a
large sum of government insurance.
Tangled in the mystery today was a
thread of romance as it became known
that the man may have been married
and that somewhere in the far west
his wife is waiting for him to re-
turn from the war.
Report from Salt Lake.
The strange disappearance of young
Fredsen is an old, old story in Keno,
sha. He was a member of we'll
several Of his brothers and sisters are
still residing here and are interested
in the search for information regard
ing his life. For years the parents
looked in vain for the missing son.
The first word that was ever heard
from him was the death message from
the War Department telling how he
had given his life in defense of the
flag more than two years ago. The
word had first been sent to man
named Guansalus near Salt Lake City,
with whom Fredsen had been living
when he was indicted into the service.
Now Word of Wife.
This man wrote to Kenosha and told
all he knew of his friend. Shortly
afterwards letter was received from
the government explaining that Fred
sens insurance would be paid as soon
as his relatives had established their
relationship.
Then on Wednesday the Kenosha po-
lice received a letter from the police
at Salt Lake City, asking that a search
be made for Fredsens wife. The re-
port declared that F'redsen had been
married at Vancouver, Washington, to
Miss Gertrude M. Anger of that city.
This is the first word that the reIa-
tives here have ever had concerning
any marriage of their brother.
If Fredsen had actually married, the
wife may have prior claim on the
soldier. The mystery is being further
Investigated today by the relatives of
the deceased.
