Bobble Stewart, formerly of the
Dawson postoftice, now In the new
gold camp, has written the following
details of the murder of Louis Schorn
born at Chlsana:
"On the night of December 26,
1914, at Chlsana, Alaska, occurred one
of the boldest and most cold-blooded
murders perpetrated in the North,
when Louis Schornborn, genera! mer
chant and outfitter of that, place, was
shot and killed at the door of a vacant
cabin a quarter of a mile below the
town, and the body dragged into the
cabin for concealment.
"Mr.Schornborn made a purchase
that evening about 8:30 o’clock, of
some articles at a bakery, and re
turned to his store, in the back part
of which he lived.
"During the day he had asked the
mail carrier from McCarthy, who was
leaving the next morning on Ids re
turn trip, to call at his store lo receive
an order for some goods which Schorn
born wanted brought in.
“About 9 o'clock or a little after
the mail man called at Schornborn's
place, but found no one there, although
a lamp and a couple of candles were
left burning. Thinking that perhaps
Mr. Schornborn had stepped into one
of the neighboring cabins for a few
minutes, the carrier returned to the
hotel with the intention of calling
again later in the evening, but finally
decided he would get the order in the
morning before he pulled out.
“On going to the store the next
morning the carrier was surprised to
find the place open and vacant, the
lamp still burning, the two candles
burned down to the wooden blocks
on which they stood and the water in
the buckets frozen, all indicating that
Schornborn had not returned that
night. This fact the carrier at once
reported.
“The people of the town at first
were slow to realize the possibilities
of what might have happened, but,
getting no result from inquiries of
neighbors and those more or less ac
quainted, decided to drag the deep
open well from which Schornborn was
accustomed to get his water for the
house. This was done and disproved
the theory of accidental drowning, so
a search of the immediate woods was
commenced by small parties, and with
out result.
“The news having reached the up
per town of Bonanza, a number of
men went to supplement those at
Chisana, and the body of Mr. Schorn
born was found on December 28 in the
vacant cabin a quarter of a mile be
■ low the town, with evidence In the
snow to show the he had been killed
at the door outside ami dragged In.
“On account of the nbsence of Dr.
Montgomery, the inquest was not
opened until after the first of the year.
In Ihe meantitme, witnesses whom It
was thought might possibly throw
some light on the affair, and who had
left town after the Christmas festivl
ties, for different parts of the sur
rounding country, were brought in.
“Dr. Montgomery stated the unfortu
nate man was shot twice. One bullet
entered the back and remained in the
body. The second passed through In
the region of the heart.
“Two exploded 30-30 Winchester
shells were found, one Inside the cabin
door and one outside. Three loaded
cartridges of the same caliber also
were found Inside, but no rifle.
“Those Intimately acquainted with
the deceased are greately surprised
that anyone could entice him so far
away from his premises without
Schornborn taking the precaution to
lock up, as it had always been his
habit when leaving the store to leave
It locked, with a notice on the door
stating the hour of his Intended re
turn, and he usually was careful in
this regard. Many take this as Indi
cating that he left the store with some
one in whom he had complete con
fidence.
"His friends say he was accus
tomed to carry a money belt. If
| such is the case it had been taken off,
I ns none was found on the body, which,
. however, Showed evidence of having
| been searched by someone prior to its
I discovery by the searching party.
“As far as is known, the contents
of the store had not been molested.
“Mr. Schornborn will be remem
bered in Dawson, by old-timers, as the
first proprietor of the Yukon hotel, |
which place he built In 1897. It re
mained under hla management until
1900, 1901, when he sold to Stewart
and Roscncrans.
"The deceased was n native of Ger
many, but, bo far as is known, most
of his relatives are residing In Iowa
and California.
"Mr. Schornbom was a thirty second
degree Mason, and a man held in the
highest esteem by all those who knew
him.”
