NIOBRARA MAN DISAPPEARS
Comes to Enter Hospital and All
Trace of Him Lost Since Shortly
After Arrival, j
A telephone message to the Omaha police
Monday night from Frank Nelson at
Niobrara, Neb., asked the aid of the local
authorities in finding Charles Karlatrshm.
a Swede 75 years old, who came to Omaha
three weeks ago for the purpose of secur
ing medical treatment and entering ' a
hospital. Karlstrahm is a person of some
prominence In Nlobrsra and no word hav
ing been received from htm by his friends
there, since he came to Omaha, has
caused considerable anxiety.
It waa learned Karlstrahm,. or a man
answering his description, called on Dr.
Robert Gtlmore two weeks sgo, snd It was
then arranged he should take a room at
the Wise Memorial hospital. ' An appoint
ment waa made for both of them to be
at the hospital at a certain time the next
day.
Karlstrahm' waa on hand a little ahead
of time and utilised the Interval In In
spectlng his room and was apparently
entirely pleased. As Dr. Gllmore drove up.
snd waa about to enter the hospital, he
met Karlatrshm going out. Asking him
where he wAs going and receiving a satis
factory, though Indefinitely reply, the
doctor went Inside to wait for him.
That was the last seen of ths old men
so far ss the police can learn. He never
returned Inside the hospital or sent any
word. On coming to Omaha hs had with
him about $200 in cash and his friends ere
grestly worried, lest be haa met foul play,
end sre anxious to receive some Infor
mstlon regarding hint.
