 The Petersburg Story.
 "One or the strongest links in che chain of circumsantial evidence con- ! meeting Ed Krause with the disap- pcarance or Capt. J. O. Plunkett was furnished this week when the skin of the gasboat Lue was found at @ float in this city.
 "The whereabouts os the skih was reported to Marshal Wick by the par tv making the discovery last Monday morning. The boat was found swamped. but made fast Go the float and the name Tue painted on the ' stern identified e as belonging to che missing gasboat.
 "It has been ascertained that this skin was brought here about October 26. the date on which Krause claims to have come from Juneau on the Admiral Evans. and also timing with the disappearance Of Captain Punk ett and his gasboat
 "Krause took passage on the Hum- hoidt for Juneau the following day. Marshal Kidan was also Q passenger on the steamer. and krause told him at this time that he came down on the Evans without paying fare, the purser having overlooked him. lt this were true. and Krause had not pur- chased a ticket before boarding the steamer at Juneau. it would account for his name not being on the passen- ger list ol the Evans for that voyage.
 "But q. is now claimed that Krause is known Co have been here many hours before the arrival of the Evans; also that be is known tO have taken a package from the skin now identi- fled and placed it in Q trunk which he had stored in town.
