K. KRAUSE ACCUSED
OF KIDNAPING
JUNEAU, Nov. 5.—An arrest for
the bold kidnaping of William
Christie, an amalgamator at the
“TOO” mill, Treadwell, Saturday, is
hourly expected. This morning a
warrant was issued for Edward
Krause of Petersburg, whom the of
ficers allege, masqueraded as “Mil
ler.” when he served a fake subpaena
on Christie and subsequently disap
peared with the Treadwell man. The
charge is that of unlawfully repre
senting himself as an officer of the
peace.
There were many developments in
the case overnight. It is said that
Krause is an ardent admirer of Mrs.
Christie, that he was incensed when
she married Christie in Juneau a
month ago, and that he hated t hris
tie because Christie i> a Scotchman. |
Krause is a German. Mrs. Christie
was formerly Mrs. Celia Gesekus.
Since the death, a year ago, of Gese
kus, who was killed in a hunting ac
cident, Krause has paid Mrs. Gese
kus-Christie marked attention. Mrs.
Christie said yesterady: “The min
ute ‘Billie’ was kidnaped, 1 thought
first of Krause. He ami I have been
friendly ami his attitude toward me
has always been that of a gentle
man.”
The mystery launch in which the
abductor of Christie set out from the
Treadwell wharf, is said to have been
found up the channel toward Salmon
creek, but no one was in it. Of
ficers arc watching the boat. At the
request of a local lodge to which
Christie belonged, former deputy
Marshal Hector McLean has been de
tailed on the case and is said to be
working on important clues.—Empire
In 1914 forty dredges, with an ag
gregate daily capacity of 42,000
cubic yards, were in operation on
Seward l'eninsula, and employment
was given to 1,200 men for an aver
age season of 100 days. The total
production of the placers has an es
timated value of $2,700,000.
A copy of the report may be ob
tained free on application to the
Director of the Geological Survey,

MORAINES AND DREDGES
(Dawson News)
Human moraines are formed by
the operations of dredges in the
North. The tailing heap blocks up
and interrupts the course of the ori
ginal stream, and produces a series
of more or less stagnant pools in the
loops it makes in its meanderings
i along the sides of the gully. If the
I latter is broad then' may be two or
! three parallel embankments, with
| pools of muddy water between them.
amid which the stream has to find its
! way as best it can. The mud that is
I washed out in the process lodges :n
! these lagoon and buries the base* of
1 the stony ridges. This curious effect
of gold-dredging will last for cen
I turies and it may puzzle some future
I geologist to account for its origin.

SEWARD LADY'S NEPHEW
MEETS AN AWFUL DEATH
l
Burned Alive by Gasoline While
Working at an Auto in
Illinois.
Freeman Sweet, a nephew of Mrs.
Cooper, of Cooper's cafe, met with a
horrible death on the ‘23rd of October j
at Shipman Illinois, when he was lit-1
orally burned alive by gasoline. The
news was conveyed to Mrs. Cooper
on the last mail. The unfortunate
young man was only twenty years of
age and had been married only four
or five months before the fatal ac
cident occurred.
He was engaged filling the tank of
the automobile with gasoline and
left the side lights without extingu
ishing them. Some of the gasoline
spattered on one of the lights and
spread to the can. The victim’s
clothes caught fire, the automobile
blazed up and poor Freeman Sweet
met death quickly.
