Mike N. Eqwana, the Eskimo mur derer of F. J. Fleckenstein, son of Deputy Marshal Fleckenstein, whose death was reported in the Gateway last Tuesday, is dead, according to a dispatch received Saturday by liar. vey Sullivan, marshal, while he was in Seward
 The brief message stated the Els kimo was found out to have com mitted suicide on the tundra, near Naknek, where the crime was com mitted, May 19. Arrivals in Sew ard on the steamer Starr say that the Eskimo prisoner crept up behind young F1eckenstein, who was prepar- ing dinner in the kitchen, hitting him over the head with an iron pipe, killing him instantly. The murderer then went thru the dead youths pockets taking everything of value; then robbed the prison safe and pick ing up a rifle and box of cartridges, left the jail practically unnoticed. Directly following the murder, it is reported, a wife of one of the pri- soners happened to step into the kitchen She was warned by Eqwa- na not to say anything or she would get the same treatment as the dead man.
