GOVERNMENT EMPLOYES AT
DONNELLY TELEGRAPH OFFICE
SHOOT EACH OTHER OVER JOKE
</
Arrivals from the Interior on this afternoon’s train re
port- a fatal shooting affray at Donnelly’s, along the Chitina
Fairbanks trail, as the result of a joke perpetrated by friends.
The principals were Elbert S. Kennedy, operator in charge
of the signal corps station at Donnelly’s, and Joseph Zaglan
iczny, a lineman employed in the same office. Kennedy was
shot in the shoulder and his alleged assailant, Zaglaniczyny,
is dead from a gunshot wound in the stomach.
Zaglaniczny started out from the station with a dog team,
and upon his arrival at McCarthy the boys there “joshed” him
about Kennedy having sent a message to a girl friend of his.
Being of a serious turn of mind, Zaglaniczny evidently brooded
over the matter on his return home, and when he reached Don
nelly’s he accused Kennedy of having tried to alienate the af
fections of his sweetheart. This the latter denied, and also
attempted to produce the proof that he had not sent the mes
sage in question. Zaglaniczny, however, refused to be pacified,
and drawing a revolver from his pocket, fired at Kennedy, the
bullet lodging in his shoulder. Kennedy ran into the kitchen,
followed by Zaglaniczny, who fired a second time, but this shot
went wide of its mark. Kennedy then grabbed a rifle which
was standing in the kitchen and shot his assailant in the
stomach.
The shooting attracted the attention of several men at a
near-by roadhouse, and they hastened to the telegraph office
and found both men seriously wounded. A wire was immedi
ately sent to Fairbanks for a doctor, and both men were bun
dled into a* sleigh and friends started out with them to meet
the doctor on the trail. When they had traveled sixteen miles
from Donnelly’s Zaglaniczny died.
