He refused to say “what for.” A sallor from the Delphine said he had heard the necklace of the Empress Catherine II of Russia, publicly re- ported to have been given by Mrs, Dill- man to her daughter, Mrs. H.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, August 22.- Death due to natural causes has writ- ten finis to a 12-year man hunt and terminated, where Federal and territorial posses failed, the career of Klu-tok, native killer of the North, Advices Teceived here today from Deputy . Marshal Stanley Nichols said Klu-tok had been found dead in the head-waters region of the Nushhagak | River. His death lifted a veil of fear that has long hung over lonely trappers in the isolated region. For 12 years the Indian bad man ruled_supreme and defiant of the law in the territory over which he tyran- nized. Nearly 20 slayings of white and \name trappers have been attributed to him. Once he was under arrest—in Sep- ‘ tember, 1927—but he escaped after kill- ing one of his captors. | Klu-tok began his campaign of out- lawry several years ago after his squaw was slain by an unknown white man who fled the country. Officials sald the death of his wife left the Indian crazed | with desire for revenge. From that time on trappers and hunters entered the district with extreme care, and several who invaded the killer's domain failed to return. In desperation an appeal to Federal authorities was made by Northern trap- pers. Murder charges were sworn out, | and a Federal posse took up his trail. Several times they were believed to be "clm to him, but Winter closed in and | the posse returned empty h-nded.
