he planned and executed these mur. derous crimes is not known. From the time Krause returned with the U. s. troops to Wrangell from the army, very little is known of his coming and going from Wrangell and Petersburg. He had no steady employment, and apparently drifted in and out of port on his boat
 The records in the hands of govern ment officials indicate he planned and executed five known murders, all for financial gain. Apparently the only murder for revenge traced to Krause was that of the Treadwell mine em- ploye. His conviction for murder was for the killing of Captain Plunkett, which murder was evidently commit ted to secure the Plunkett boat. as well as to shield Krause.
 It is believed he confided in Krau- zunas, and it is possible the money is cached near where the Plunkett boat was carefully concealed in Wrangell Narrows.
 The party that Krauzunas ap- preached to make the search refused to allow his name to be made public. Juneau Dispatch.

 RESIDENT DIES
 IN COAST CITY
DAN EAGAN RECEIVES WORD OF| BROTHERS DEATH IN SEATTLE LUKE PAGAN WE'LL KNOWN HERE. RESIDED ON FAIRBANKS CREEK

Dan Eagan, of Fairbanks creek, yesterday received message from Seattle announcing the death of his brother Luke Eagan, at Seattle. The deceased was well known to Fair. banksans, having resided for some time at Fairbanks creek, and leav- ing there to go outside about two years ago.
 He entered the employ of Skinner X Eddy in the shipyards at Seattle shortly after his arrival there and re- mained with them until his death, which was caused by spinal meningi- tis. In the message which Dan re- ceived it was stated that Mrs. Luke Eagan was very sick. suffering from the same illness as her husband, and that she was not expected to live.
 Dan is here for the purpose of meet ing his sister and her husband, Mr.. and Mrs. James German, who are on the steamer Alaska. The news of the other brothers death will come as a severe shock to her, as she visited with him on her way north and left him in the best of health. Dan has not seen this sister for twelve years, since "she was little tot," as he ex- pressed it, and the gladness of the re- union as it had been anticipated will be overcast by the sad news which he must convey to her.
 MT. German is also well known to Fairbanksans, having formerly been a resident of Fairbanks creek also. His wife, who came all the way from St. Johns, New Foundland, to wed on her arrival at Seattle, is making her first visit to the north. They will go out to the creeks Saturday after the arrival of the boat and remain there for the summer at least

times higher than they were when the building of the government rail road was first undertaken. Yet even if there should be no decline in pres ent high prices, only nine million odd dollars. in excess of the original es innate, will be needed to complete the federal transportation system. In other words, while prices generally are 50 to 400 percent higher than for merly. the cost of the government rail road will be only 25 percent more than the original estimate of four years ago.
 Two important factors have ope rated to keep down the average of the cost of construction. They are the ownership by the railroad of coal mines. from which all necessary fuel supplies are obtained. and the pur chase at one time in 1917 of large quantity of material, supplies and equipment, some of which is still on hand.
 "In going over the figures of the cost of the railroad" said William Gerig. engineer in charge of the An chorage division, who has just com, pleted a financial statement of tho outlay necessary to build the entire system on the basis of prices in 1915. "there are two things noticeable One is saving of $350,OOO that has been effected by the commission in using the coal produced at the Eska and ChickaloOn mines. If tho commission, instead of opening and operating these mines. had bought in the states and shipped to Seward and Anchorage the coal it needed in construction and operation. its expenditures would have been $350.000 in excess of what they are to the present time The other noticeable saving was effected by the purchase of large quantity of supplies in 1917. If these supplies, instead of having been bot at one time in 1917, had been purchased at several times in 1917, 1918 and 1919, their cost, on account of the rising market during the war. would have been great deal more than it actually was"

NENANA NOT TO SEND TEAM FOR
 FOURTH SERIES
WIRES BOB MENZlE IMPOSSIBLE TO ORGANIZE TEAM TO COME TO AIRBANKS--WILL HAVE BIG BALL GAME BETWEEN LO- CAL TEAMS.

All expectations of series of games between the local club and a team from Nenana during the Fourth of July celebration here were dispell- ed yesterday by message received by Bob Menzie, chairman of the park commission. Until that time there had been reason for thinking that the Nenanaites would be here.
 The message received by Mir. Men zie follows:
 Nenana. June IS, 1919 Bob Menzie. Fairbanks.
 Impossible to get ball team togeth- e.. Could possibly get team to play S"r" 0metime Why not send your team down here Fourth?
 (Signcd) TAYLOR.
 Manager Beam stated yesterday that it was out of the question to think of sending the local club to Nenana as suggested. Two reasons are given for this stand The first is that the last series played between the two teams was on the Nenana dia. mond; the second that a situation last summer. At that time the Ne mana people insisted that it was up to the local club to go down river for the Fourth of July game. After much discussion it was agreed to send it down and all plans were made to that end. including engaging boat to make the trip. On the evening of July 3, few hours before the team intended to leave, message was re. ceived from the manager of the Ne mana club saying that the game had been called off and two Nenana teams would fill the engagement.
 At that time considerable surprise was caused by the abrupt action of the Nenana management, as the local team had been put to some trouble in preparing for the trip. and was knock ed out of arranging for game on the home grounds, since the Nenana game was called off too late to allow other plans to be made
 Mr. Menzie stated yesterday that, while disappointed in not being able to secure an out-of-town team for the Fourth. nevertheless there will be a game, and good one between two local teams. This game will be play ed Sunday, July 5th. The celebration committee is also planning another at. traction for that afternoon which will be big drawing card. and both shows will be pulled off at the same price.

NOT PTOMAINE IS DIAGNOSIS
 IN DEAL CASE
DEAL SUFFERING FROM SOMETHING ELSE THAN PTOMAINE POISONING SAY HIS PHYSICIANS; CONDITION IS LIN. CHANGED.

Postmaster Deal, who was sent to the local hospital Thursday serious ly ill, is not suffering from ptomaine poisoning as was reported yesterday according to attending physicians. Dr. H. J. McCallum, MT. Deals phy- sician, stated last evening that while the exact nature of the illness had not been determined. it was probably liver or kidney trouble.
 The Citizen received it's report of ptomaine poisoning from apparently reliable sources and relied upon it to be absolutely correct. After it's re- port was given publicity, Dr. J. A. Sutherland. local health officer. in vestigated the matter and found that it was unfounded.
 There had been some rumors that the postmaster had been poisoned from eating unwholesome meat. In order to set this rumor at rest. Dr. Sutherland accompanied by Dr. Mo Callum yesterday examined the meats at the local market and both pro nounced them to be in excellent con- dition.
 In addition to this, Dr. Sutherland has also inspected every piece of meat which the local market has brot into the camp this spring and unhesitatingly states that it is above the average in quality and absolute ly wholesome.

ECONOMY SHOWN IN GOVT R. R.
 EXPENDITURES

ANCHORAGE, June 10.-If the prices of railroad material supplies and equipment had not increased i'll the last four years, the cost of the governments railway in Alaska, com- pleted, would not have exceeded $33, ,874, ,563.32. The estimate in 1915 for the construction of the system was $35,O0O, 100000, so if no change had occurred since then in market conditions, the total outlay would have been less than the original cal culation by $1,125,436.6S.
 Everything required in railroad con struction-labor, food for mess camps, tools, rails, lumber for ties and bridges, locomotives and cars for work trains-advanced continuously during the progress of the world war until now cost prices, in very many instances, are three and four

Inside the two rings were inscriptions, reading From Hawley to Peggy" Mir. McDougal has logging contract from the com mission and was cutting timber near where the body was found by him. He reported his discovery and the re. mains were prot at once to Nenana where identification was made.
 Immediately after it had been iden. tified as the remains of Mrs. Sterling, who was formerly Margaret Young, her relatives at Fairbanks were noti. fled and at the same time notification was sent to the husband, who is resi- dent engineer at the Happy station near Fairbanks. The body is being prepared for shipment and will pro bably be shipped to Fairbanks on the steamer Alaska for interment.
 From the physical appearance of the remains, the body must have been carried along the riverbed for some distance. This was shown by the fact that hardly a rag of clothes was left, not single garment being intact.
