Made a Big Haul but Lost the Money.

APPLETON, Wis. Jan. 1O.-About eight years
ago a man named K. A. Krona, mentioned as the
probable robber of the Stockholm Bank, came
to this town from Milwaukee. and introduced
himself to tailor of this city, named J. f.
Peterson who came from Stockholm. He told
Peterson that ne would like to have a private
interview with him, and insisted on going down
to the river bank Once there, and satisfying
himself that none within hearing distance,
he told Peterson that he and confederate
robbed bank in Stockholm of nearly a million
dollars; that the confederate was arrested on
suspicion, and that he (Krona). becoming
alarmed, had hidden the greater part of it there
and come to America, that nearly two years
had passed. and he thoughE he could return with
safety and get the money; that he lacked about
$500 of enough to return and get it, and. if
Peterson would loan it to him, he would give
him $500, 900. Peterson questioned him, and
ne unfolded to him just how the robbery
planned and carried out, and where the money
was hid, but said nothing about killing the jaui
tor of the bank. Peterson tolc him he did not
care TO have anything to do with him, and he
told Peterson he was no good" and that he
would be sorry before long Krona acted
rervously and suspiciously Of everybody. and
related the story in such an excited manner that
Peterson thought he was trying to dupe him.
that he was a crank. While ne was hero he re-
fused to go to hotel, because he would have to
register, and. although he was finely dressed
and had money, he walked from here TO Neenah
to take the night train back to Miwaukee
