Treasure Search For Bandits Gold Leads to Murder 24 Year 0ld Youth Confesses Slaying Taxi Driver in Hunt for Cache. By TOM KEEFE.

Jr. International News Service Staff Correspondent. ST. LOUIS, May 20. The brutal murder here of Albert Kraske, 56, taxi driver, has again revived the legend of the burled Egan Hats' treasure.

Crake was found on the roar grounds ot "The Old Indian Head," an abandoned farm, 34 miles north of here, with two bul let wounds In his brain. Near a icedar tree close by there were tnoiu than one hundred and fifty freshly dug holes, i I'ollce were mystified as to the motive behind the killing. Futile clews wore tracked to no avail. A load by Deputy Sheriff William Crupp finally caused the apprehension of twenty four year old ltichurd Eofl and his subsequent confession of the murder. Now the youth may spend the rest of his life behind prison bars over the folly of time misspent In search for the missing bandit booty.

Eoff recently was arrested on a minor charge by county authorities. He wag worried over his In carceration. In the general cell where he was detained he met a grizzled prisoner, held on a more serious charge. He despaired of evading the "pen." As the days wore on the boy'B friend told him of a princely fortune. It had been burled by the Egan Rats.

Would Eoff be so good upon his release as to dig up the money and aid his friend In hla fight to escape the bars? The boy agreed. Tells Sheriff Eoff found his detention lrk jome. He "spilled" the secret to the authorities in hope of having his "bit" shortened. Several dep uties were sent to "The Indian Head" to unearth the "swag." Their semch proved fruitless. They told Eoff as much, but the boy was not convinced.

He served the rest of his time and was released. The next day he met Craske and hired him to drive to the abandoned form. They arrived early in the afternoon. While Cracke sat in the automobile and waited, the boy uncovered a spade and began to dig hole after hole, without finding any trace of. the treasure.

Blisters appeared on his hands, and his temper was in an ugly mood. Eoff ripped up flooring in the house on the grounds and stripped lathing from the walls, all to no avail. Ho decided to give up the hunt Tossing his spitde Into the weeds, walked to the waiting autorao bile. Cracke demanded payment for his services before he would carry the youth farther. Eoff was in, a nasty mood.

Alleviated, Distress Continues in Many Sections. BY DANIEL O'CONNELL International News Service Staff Correspondent DUBLIN, May 20. limine, which stalked in the West of Ireland dur ing the winter, has been somewhat alleviated by the coming of the milder spring weather, but there is still great distress. Charles H. Fnhey, medical reports from Ardhara, Done bi, nun uisiresa tner is very acute and that actual starvation Is not far distant.

The milder weather, although on many parts of the West Irish coast the summer does not bring hot weather, has alleviated sufferings from cold, due to the peet shortage. The food shortage still continues and w'lll continue probably until the first potato crops are in. Potatoes are the chief food of these people and, as last year's crop was almost an enUre failure, there is a great shortage of food. Relief Continues Fishing along the Galway coast increases with better weather and another BOurce of foodstuff is reopened, but the competition with steam trawlers, some of them poachers, makes It almost lmpossl for the small fisherman to eke out a living frbm the waters of the Atlantic Relief work is still going on In the districts where the distress has beim most acute. With sufficient aid, in the shape of seed potatoes' and opportunity for work, the sit 1 uatlon by Autumn should be much' Improved.

While all winters are lean winters for many people in West Ireland, It Is to be hoped thut thero will be no repetition of last winter's distress. IIEUT.
