KRU6 COMPLETELY DISAPPEARS.


aim-suicide Is Suggested.
Nothing has yet been learned of the
whereabouts of krug, and the city is full
OF rumors and theories as to where he has
gone. One theory is that he Is in Victoria,
and il Is suggested that he may go
to Australia. where his former partner,
William Radlof, of Radlotf mystery noto-
riety, Is now known to be, as the steamer
Warriinoo sails for that country today,
bnt this Is not considered probable.
Others are convinced that he Is still i'm the
city and Is In hiding. but they give no rea-
son for the opinion.
Yet others believe that he Is dead. II is
known that he has been very respondent
for some time, owing to the hopeless con-
dition Of his affairs. While he concealed
his troubles from all hut few of his
intimate friends, he showed great despon-
dency in talking with them last Sunday
and Monday. for he saw no escape from
exposure. On Monday he was so nervous
and melancholy that some of his friends
feared for hts sanity. This condition
of his mind gives rise to the belief that he
has committed suicide. On Wednesday
some of those most interested in his affairs
stated positively that he would return, and
even said that he was actually on his way
back from New Westminster.
Wherever he is, dead or alive, he has
completely dropped out of sight and all
efforts 10 trace him after he crossed the
boundary on the Great Northern train and
arrived in New Westminster last Tuesday
have proved futile. as the following dis
patch from New Westminster shows:

city treasurer of Seattle, has succeeded In
covering his tracks so com pletely that the
pouee and detectives searching for him

They know that he arrived in the city
tuesday evening, but further than that
they know nothing. Within an hour OF
his arrival he disappeared from sight and
mas NOT since been seen. Last night an
other detective arrived from Seattle and
the whole ground was gone over again, but
without results. The police are satisfied
