You can use a spare disk drive power connector: the red wire on the
fan to the yellow wire on the connector, black wire on the fan to one
of the black wires on the connector. If the fan has a third, yellow,
wire, don't connect that wire.
The easiest way to do this is probably to buy a power splitter, cut
off one of the female connectors and connect to the freed wires using
screw terminal block ("chocolate strip").

...and put that other fan in :-)
