GOLD TRAVELLED is YEARS
Sack Of Precious Dust TraiIed Con-
sisnee Thousands of Miles to
Twenty Addresses.

Watertown, N. Y,-After travelling
for thousands of miles during 16
years, sack Of gold dust mailed in
1899 was delivered to Christopher La
lone of Potsdam.
The gold had been trailing Lalone
for years, but, wherever it was sent,
Lalone was always just ahead of it.
The gold dust started at Dawson
City, Alaska, being sent by Frank
Wires, Mr. Lalone's son-in-law. It was
part of the first treasure taken from a
mine which young Wires discovered
while prospecting, and which later
netted him a fortune.
The first address attached to the
sack was Schenectady, where Lalone
was living. Before it arrived. how
ever. Lalone had left that city, and
after few months the gold was sent
back to Dawson City. Wires, the
sender, was far from civilization, and
his whereabouts was unknown. I'm
claimed, the sack lay in the Dawson
post office until it was learned by a
friend of Wires that Lalone was in
Terre Haute, Ind There the package
was sent. but again too late. Since
then it has travelled to Seattle, to
southern California and back to Alas.
ka, until finally Lalone was located in
Potsdam. Three tags, bearing 20 ad
dresses, were attached to the sack.

FACES MANY PER|LS
German Youth, Fleeing War, Has
Exciting Time.
AdaIbert krause Reaches Texas After
Escaping Death at Sea and in
Mexico-Gets So for Bale of
Villa Money.

Fort Worth, Tex.-When Adalbert
Krause, eighteen years old, Ger
man youth, left Berlin just before the
start of the war, hoping to reach the
United States and thus escape mill
tary service, he little dreamed of the
exciting events he would experience
before he attained his goal.
Krause is industrially, not militarily,
inclined, but before reaching this coun
try he faced starvation, was pursued
by German officers, was beaten by
sailors, nearly shipwrecked, escaped
from ship at Tampico and was at
tackled and robbed by Mexicans. But
Krause never lost hope and finally
reached Ell PasO, a town he never
had heard of in Germany, and only
a few days ago arrived in Fort WORTH
where he wants to become a captain
of industry and a naturalized Ameri
can citizen.
When Krause left his home in Ber-
lin he first went to Hamburg, where
he played hide and seek with the po-
lice and other officers and between
times tried to get work Despite rigid
economy Krause soon was reduced to
eight cents, and he was getting des-
perate when he obtained position
as mess boy on board a Hamburg
American line vessel. This ship first
took him to Spanish ports and later
to Tampico, Mex. On the way the
vessel encountered severe storms and
the crew prepared to abandon the
ship. Krause thought his end had
come, but the ship weathered the
gale. Then the seamen began to treat
Krause roughly, sometimes beating
him.
One night, when the vessel was at
Tampico, Krause bade farewell to the
ship. He could speak no Spanish, and
having little funds he met difficulties
wherever he turned. Finally he got
work at San Luis Potosi in an oil
plant, where he could not understand
the Indifferent and lazy customs of the
Mexican laborers.
Once he went to learn why some
poems failed to bring him water for his
boiler from a nearby river.
He found the poems sitting on the
bank smoking cigarettes in good old
leisurely Mexican style. The sight
stirred his Teutonic blood and there
was a fight. Krause fought with his
fists, and being 1.-the and muscular was
getting the better of the argument
when other poems ran up with drawn
knives.
Krause fed to his engine house, the
Mexicans in pursuit. When he bolted
Krause poked revolver out of a win
dow and threatened to fire if they did
not "rausmit," which the poems did.
But San Luis Potosi is far from the
United States, and so Krause began to
work his way toward Juarez, a dan.
gerous, difficult trip. Part of the way
Krause went on horseback, but a sol,
dier took the animal from him and he
travelled the rest of the distance on
foot.
The German youth was delighted
when he arrived at Juarez with $50
pesos in Villa currency. This made
big, eye-pleasing wad and Krause
dreamed of the fortune he would start
with it. He crossed to FL Paso and ex.
changed it for So in American money,
which quite took his breath away.

bowling them out of the room in the
most affable manner.
Soon after this professional visit the
same physician called again on the
surgeon, requesting him to accompany
him to see another patient On their
way thither the surgeon remarked:

more literally than the last did"
