who died recently at Mayo Bros., was
held in Seattle October 14. Many Al
askans who wrere acquainted with
the deceased, attended. Mr. Dooley
was a pioneer in every sense of the
word, first coming to Alaska in 1898,
landing at Valdez in March. He was
'a member of the so-called Hooker
party, composed of the Messrs. Hook
er, Bradbury, Orr and himself. Mr.
Dooley mushed over the Valdez gla
cier that spring and built a cabin
at Klutena lake. He was very ener
getic and prospected the country very
thoroughly. After a successful year
on Slate creek he returned to Seat
tle, where in 1903 he married Miss
Minnie Wray, daughter of a promi
nent .business man and politician of
that city, returning to Valdez in
1904. About 1906 he went to Cor
dova where he has remained ever
since. Mr. Dooley held many offices
during his residence in Alaska, and
was deeply interested in all move
ments for the betterment of the
community. He was an Elk, an Ea
gle, a Moose and belonged to other
fraternities, as well as to the Alas
ka Pioneers.
He left a wife and a large family
of children to mourn his loss. Mr.

to endear him to his friends.

Barrow, and was picked up by the
Bureau of Education steamer Boxer,
being aboard that vessel when the
crew of the Lady Kindersley was res
cued from the ice.
The Bishop states that the present
journey was one of the hardest in his
late experiences. Th-r*» was more ice
and larger ice packs than at any time
in his previous trips and for a time
he believed he would have to winter
in the north.
Bishop Rowe will remain in Sew
ard until Saturday, leaving on the
I steamer for the States.
i * ''TIMER DIES FROM
HEART DISEASE; BODY
SENT TO ANCHORAGE
Ed. Evans, well known oldtimer
of the Anchorage district, succumbed
to an attack of the heart yesterday
at Mile 52, where he was employed as
watchman at one of the snowslieds.

rector of Anchorage came as far as
! Tunnel last night, and will take the
body back with him on today’s train.

Evans had been ailing for some time,
and after being released from the An
chorage hospital, was given employ
ment by the Alaska Railroad at one
of their .snowslieds near 52, where
he watched the steam plant, and
sheds.
Early yesterday orning his body
was found by workers lying just out
side the door of his cabin. Evans ev
idently dying suddenly from an at
tack of the heart.
Mr. Evans was a member of the
I. O. O. F., and as far as is known
has no relatives in the territory.
CORDOVA POSTMASTER
FOUND “NOT GUILTY”
After lasting nine days, the case
of the Government vs. Charles Schef
fler, former postmaster of Cordova,
charged with robbing the postoffice
early this year, defendant was found
not guilty. The jury was out eighteen
hours and returned their verdict only
after it was,believed it would be hung.
Mr. Scheffler was accused of the
robbery of the Cordova postoffice by
government inspectors, circumstances
surrounding the case causing them to
believe it an inside job. While there
was no direct evidence of his guilt he
was indicted and brought to trial. Cor
dovans and friends of Mr. Scheffler
have strenuously denied his guilt, and
the vote of the jury is his complete
vindication. Several Seward residents
were on the jury.
TOM & AL IN PORT
The gas boat Tom and Al, which
was reported adrift last week, with
engine trouble, reached port today
and will be overhauled here. The
vessel was towed in port by the steam
ship Starr, from the entrance, and
taken to the San Juan dock where her
fare of halibut was unloaded. Eleven
men, who were aboard the boat when
she was picked up, arrived in Seward
yesterday, and four men have been
in Seward the past week waiting to
join her.
Mrs. C. A. Carey, wife of Corp. Ca
rey, arrived on the Admiral Watson
to join her husband who arrived
on one of the last, boats. Mr. and
Mrs. Carey will take the Root bun
galow formerly occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. George Cotter.
JACK PETERSON TAKES
POSITION ON GATEWAY
Jack Peterson, former manager of
the job department of the Anchorage
Daily Times, and long recognized as
one of the leading job printers in the
territory, has taken a position with the
Gateway, and will be in charge of its
modern job department. Mr. Peter
son, wife and baby arrived from An
chorage on last night’s train, and are
registered at the Van Gilder, until a
house can be secured.
Mr. Peterson has been one of the
leading spirits of the Anchorage
chamber of commerce and also is an
enthusiastic Elk, having been very
active in both organizations. He is
a hustler and w believe his presence
with the Gateway will rebound to the
benefit of Seward as he is a hustler
and supplies ncessary new blood into
the business. With Mr. Peterson in
charge of the Gateway’s fine job de
partment, we believe that it will give
our citizens an opportunity to secure
work superior to that in the States,
and thus keep many hundreds of dol
lars at home.
Within the next few days Mr. Pet
erson will call on our merchants and
customers and talk printing with a
punch. We trust that he will be
received with the pleasure that we feel
in securing his services.
CREW OF TOM AND AL
ARRIVED HERE YESTERDAY
The crew of the halibut schooner
Tom & Al, arrived in port yesterday
afternoon on the gas boat Defense,
after one of the hardest trips of the
season. The Tom & Al broke down
on her last trip out in the Heavy
weather outside, and drifted to sea
two days before she was picked up.
This is the first time the men have
been in town now for nearly a month
as they stayed with the ship.
The Tom & Al is at present outside
the entrance and the crew of the De
fense will try to tow her in. If
they are not able to do this the
schooner will be brought in by the
Starr when she arrives in port Fri
day.
MRS. GERHARD JOHNSON
DIES, PUGET SOUND CITY
Mrs. Gerhard Johnson, wife of the
local mason, died at five this morning
in a -Seattle hospita' where she had
been for some time prior to her death.
Mrs. Johnson left here early the
■past summer for the States to secure
medical treatment, as her health had
been failing for the past year. With
nor went her daughter Ragnhild, who
was in Seattle at the time of her
mother’s death .
Mrs. Johnson was a prominent lodge
member of Seward, belonging to the
Rebekahs and other orders. Air.
Johnson, who is at present in Anchor
age will probably leave for the States
on one of the first boats to superin
tend the burial. With him will go
the heartfelt sympathies of Seward,
as Airs. Johnson was an oldtimer of
Seward, and beloved of the commun
ity.
