The governor of Minnesota tomorrow.
sIhs sheriff is keeping his visit 10 Sc.
Paul as quiet as possible. He did not call
upon Krug at the Jail. and remained
nround the hotel all the afternoon and
svening. spending most OF the time IN his
room.
M. G. Sullivan. the detective, arrived
On the same train a. the sheriff and Ii also

James sheehan. Of this city. who Is in
Be. Paul, teIegraphs that be has had an
interview with Krug and that the latter
declares his intention OF returning without

The superstition that Krug was not well
supplied with funds when he took flight
two weeks ago tomorrow. based largely
On the fact that he had only 500 30 In his
POSSESSION ut the time of his arrest, does
not seem to be we'll founded in view of
facts which have since been learned. On
Monday. September II. the day be-
fore his fight. he drew $1,000 out Of the
bank, of which he lett 81, 500 for use
In the Office next day. and also
received $1,000 from Andrew Heinrich as
part payment on note. What became Of
Ibis 81, 500 Is not known, but the most rea-
ponable theory IL that he took 1t with him.
In the six days Of his wanderings. ne must
have lived a. . pretty rapid pace. though
Il Is well known that he was not extraya-
CANT In his personal expenses. His man
ner Of disposing of 1t may make an inter-
ssting story.
uKrug seems to:have had coincidental
weakness for the sum of 81 500. He took
that amount In cash, he loaned that sum
TO Carson, he loaned the same amount to
Ronald, and the same amount to Annie
Wilson. Considine fell short of that sum-

The interview with NJ. ID. Ballard, that he
did not draw his last months salary. He
eashed his warrant Ia the usual way and

The statement presented by the finance
