Mystery Mnn Is
 Sought By Police
 M .Jnnnun1 Case

RACINE, Dec 22.AThat a love-af- fair extending to Alaska and back to Racine may lie at the bottom of the mystery connected with the death Of Matt Jaanum, who was found with
 his throat cut on board train for this city recently. is the theory on which the police are working in an effort to solve the case. What was at first believed to have been sui eide is now generally regarded as murder, and the authorities are en- deayoring to obtain further informa- tion as to the identity of stranger claiming to have spent sixteen years in Alaska in quest of gold, who dis appeared from local hotel just be- fore Jaanum was found with his throat cut. From disconnected scraps of information given to a few of his confidapts by this man, silent and taciturn Finn, it was learned that he had been in Alaska and was wait ing here for pal to join him on a trip to their native land. The name given by this man, who told friends here that he had been mining for gold for many years at Nenana, was obviously fictitious, and on the basis of the mystery surrounding him the police are seeking clues as to his Identity. That the two men may have been rivals in love is one of the hypotheses on which they base a theory of murder.
