kRAUSE IS GIVEN TiE
 MAXIMUM
Judge Jennings Sentences Con- victed Man to Three and Ten Years-Says that Sentences Should Have Been Doubled but Law Must Be Upheld.

Edward Krause was this morning sentenced to serve three years at McNeWs Island for lmpersonating an officer and ten years for Kidnapping William Christie The sentence was not pronounced upon him for the other two convictions. as the court believed that if sentence were i'm posed in those cases 1t would tend to have the effect Of preiudlcing the minds Of the community against Krause and might make 1t hard to secure @ fair jury for the trial of the murder charges which are pending. The sentences will be given during the next term of court
 Judge Jennings gave Krause the maximum sentence allowed by the statutes in each cese and stated to the defendant that in his opinion the penalty was too small and should be double.
 The crime of impereonating an of fcer was committed last October, when Krause appeared at the "7OO' mill at Treadwell and served a fake subpoena on William Christie, telling Christie that he. Krause, was an officer and that Christie was wanted at once in tho court. at Juneau Christie accompanied him and has not been seeen since.
 In imposing sentence on Krause this morning Judge Jennings stated that in his opinion impersonating an officer constitutes 8 most heinous of- fense and he was of the opinion that the penalty allowed under the law was not half heavy enough
 "One who impersonates an officer imposes on the credullty of his fel- low man, and man who is a law abiding and respecting citizen lt imposes on a man who is only too anxious to obey the mandates of the law. and in that way the guilty man is able to accomplish his nefarious purpose. which tends to belitte and hamper the workings of the court and the administration Of the laws between man and man," he said.
 In the Kidnapping case. Judge Jen- nings stated that an offense of this kind was but little better than mur- der and that the penalty should be heavier Krause was convicted of Kidnapping William Christie from Treadwell on October SOth. The pen alty imposed on this charge was 10 years
 Krause was convicted of the charge of impersonating an officer on April 18th, of the Kidnapping charge on April 2Sth. The verdict of guilty for the charge of fraudulent use of the mail was returned on May 10th and the forgery verdict on May 2Oth

HAW POND YIELD
fine FOR SEASON
WATER GOING OUT LEAVES A
LARGE QUANTITY o Fish FOR
FRIES AND PlCNlcS.

Citizens in the vicinity of Haw Pond
have been enjoying some profitable
fishing for the past several days. The
Hew Pond has a history that for freak
ishness probably not parallel by
anything of similar nature. At a
certain time every year, during the
first Of May, or the latter part of
April, this pond goes dry in a days
time. During the first of the summer
Deep creek, the course of which runs
near the Haw Pond, rises and water
from it fills the pond. In this way fish
are carried into the pond, and there
they seem to breed prolifically. BY
the middle of the spring or the early
part of summer, fish of all kinds are
plentiful there, and angling is a favo-
rite pastime and sport for the people
of that immediate vicinity, while 9TH
ers come from all parts of this and
other counties.
There is a sink in the bottom OF the
pond and each year at certain pc
riod it becomes kind of suction, car
rying off the water in the pond through
a subterranian passage, and leaving
the fish in great quantities at the bot
tom, so thick in the little water that
is left in the pond that they can scarce
ly move about. Baskets are used to
remove them, and altogether several
hundred pounds are secured. People
of the community hold fish fries and
invite their friends for miles around
at this time.
