Office.
1t Is alleged that a week ago yes.
terday Jensen left Mankato. He was
supposed to 60 to the twin cities
and return to Mankato for q week
or two, but no one in Mankato has
seen him since, so 1t Is said. Ulti.
mately he had intended to go tc
California to make his home there
It Is understood that his wife Is al.
ready in that state.
It Is alleged that some Of the bills
turned over to Jensen for collection
by local merchants are not to be
found, nor any records made Of them
in the association accounts. This
according tosa member Of the asso-
citation, has left things in a badly
muddled condition.
Friends Of Mr.. Jensen, and he had
q great many, are at a loss to ex
plain his alleged shortcomings. He
had lived in Mankato for several
years, and his habits were excel
lent. He was conservative, quiet and
massuming man, and not given tc
reckless spending of money. The
warrant for Jensen's arrest was Is
sued several days ago. Efforts to
keep this a secret were in vain. The
proceedings have become public
property and the Free Press does not
feel justified In longer Withholding
the fact that the warrant Is In the
hands Of the sheriff for execution. h.
