I Oue cablegram from Marshal
I Bishop Teads:—
1 Keep a close watch for a gas boat
j which Is dory model about forty
feet loi.g with power. The name of
the fccat has recently been effaced,
but Its name formerly was Condor.
I The boat Is fully stocked, with food
aod supplies and we think that
Krause made his escape ia this boat.
| Detective Llschkp, who has been
la Skagwuy for some time watching
for the men who migM have com
muted the Chioagoff gold robberry
| was wired to watch the White Pass j
railway at the summit, and Jie wir
e»i to Inspector Matley of the Royal
N. W. Mounted Policy at the in
ternational boundary to keep a
sharp lockout for Krause .
Tbe belief is that Krause made
his get-away in a small gas boat
and that he has made for some one
of the Bmall islands, where he will
remain for some mouths or until
the search becomes a little lses vigi-j
lent. He is believed to be well |
supplied with food and supplies, and
with his knowledge of the inland
waters, it is the general belief that;
he has made his way out to some
ouk of thewayplace where he will
be able tc stay out of sight for a
time. '. /
