build, height 5 feet 7la inches, weight about
l48 pounds, dark hair, hazel eyes, light
complexion. generally wears sandy side
whskers and mustache, high forehead, looks

in ST. Paul Kray was hail fellow
well met, and, while his place was fire.
quented by local gamblers, no crooked
work done there ever came to light. He
was probably personally known to every
city and private detective in st. Paul,
but whether his past record. as detailed
by Mr.. Norris, was known to them will
probably never be known. Krav's
friends, while admitting that his past
record is trifle shady, allege that Nor
Iis is simply using extreme measures to
collect an old debt. His course, they
say, amounts to but little less than the
persecution of man who is trying to
lead an honest life.

fumbled in his pockets for money to pay
his fare. but in vain. The conductor
offered to pay the fare out of his own
pocket and trust his passenger for
repayment. This offer was accept
ed, and the indebted party asked
the conductor where he could be found,

was either on the cars or at the car
house most of the time. This did not
satisfy him. and he wanted to know
where he lived. as he said that his bene-
factor should be well paid for his trou-
