KRAUSE TAKEN
 UNDER ARREST
MAN CHARGED WITH kIDNAP- ING CHRISTIE AT TREADWELL
 CAUGHT IN SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Nov. 16.-Edward Krause, of Petersburg, Alaska, was arrested last night on the arrival ot the steamer Jefferson from the north. He is accused of kidnapping William Christie, amalgamator of the Tread well mines, who has completely dis appeared. 1t was found on the arrest of KrauSe that he had boarded the Jefferson under the name of Moe. The specific charge brought against Krause is that of imrersonating ar officer. The impersonation is said to have been committed by Krause when he went to Treadwell and told Christie that he was a deputy mar shal and that he had a subpoena for Christie to appear in the court at Juneau. Christie went down to a waiting launch to go across to Juneau and he has never since been seen or heard of.
 On being arrested here last night Krause declared that a stranger had hired him and his launch and had paid him to deliver letter to Christie. He then, he says, landed both the stranger and Christie at Ju- neau and that was the last he saw or heard of Christie. Krause had a bank book on him when taken that showed that he has two thousand dollars or deposit. The police are now grilline him in the effort to compel him to confess if he is guilty. Christie had been married only a month when he disappeared. He married widow named GeseEus to whom Krause is said to have been paying serious at tentions and it was supposed that Krause had kidnapped his successful rival and done away with him.
