SCHEP
His Strange Disappear -
ance Gives Cause for
Misgivings.
What has become of Herman
HinscheV
This is a question that is puzzling
and worrying his many friends and ac
quaintances, caused by his strange,
mysterious disappearance from his
home on the North fork of the Kusko
kwim.
When Jack Stewart and Charles
Nystrom arrived at the North Fork
cabin, almost a month ago, they found
r the cabin deserted. On the a ; >r were
three letters--one addressed to Mr.
Stewart, one to Mr. Nystrom, and a
third to United States Deputy Marshal
ivi v; i»i u 11 tu.
Mr. Stewart’s note read as fellows
August21, lb22.
Frtenrl Jack:
J am going away, and I say good-by
to you. Joe Wills, and all my friends.
I will write later on.
H. Hinsche.
This note is a strange one, and open
to several interpretations, especially it'
view of the fact that bis canoe was j
missing and that his large boat still
remained in the water. r
Mr. Flinsche had purchased a full
winter outfit, the same as in former
years, prepared, to all appearances, to
spend another winter at his cabin on
the North Fork.
The note to Mr. Nystrotn, wno car
ried llinsche’s supplies to the North
Fork, requested him to sell the sup
plies for what they would bring.
it is also understood that Mr ti insche
some time ago left over a thousand.dol
lars’ worth of fur with a friend for
shipment to the Outside.
All in all, Mr. Hinsche's disappear
ance is most mysterious, and develop
ments in the case are awaited with
anxiety and possible misgivings.
