DOCTOR IN PARTY
In custody of A. C. Dowling,, depu
ty U. S. marshal of Valdez; Nils
Sorby, marshal at Kodiak; H. W.
Vance, guard from Kodiak, Charles
Minor, field deputy and Jack Cook,
guard, Valdez; a number of prisoners
were taken to the Valdez jail yes
terday on the S.S. Northwestern. One
of the prisoners goes to the Seattle
sheriff’s office, and three insane will
be taken to Morningside.
The prisoners included E. M. Webb,
Jas. Shea, Charles Johnson, Robert
OaiT, John Holmiburg, Frank Metjs
trick, J. W. Beach. The last three
have been committed to the Morn
ingside hospital from Anchorage.
Johnson and Carr were arrested in
Seward a few weeks ago and xdead
guilty of breaking into and robbing
a local store. James (Paddy) Shea,
is charged with the murder of Mike
Galloway at Kodiak, some days ago.
It is alleged that Shea beat Gallo
to death with his fists while Galloway
was lying asleep in bed. Galloway
was well known in this district
having resided to the westward for
a number ot years. Shea is an old
timer of the Interior and has been
living in the westward regions for the
past few years.
E. M. Webb is charged from Seat
tle with forging the name of Dr. E.
M. McKiibben, a former Seattle phy
sician, whose name he is said to
have used in obtaining the reputed
appointment as United States Com
missioner for Kodiak. Webb is be
ing held under $3000 bail. Sheriff
Matt Starwich of King County, Wash
ington, was informed by a recent
cablegram from the Third division
court headquarters that Webb is
charged with havig drawn $1000 in
McKibben’s name. It is stated Webb
met McKibiben at the McNeil Island
penitentiary where 'both were serv
ing as prison physicians.
As Dr. McKibben the man oame to
Kodiak about two months ago and
took over the practice of Dr. Hawk,
when the latter went to the States,
according to L. D. Roach, who recent
ly resigned from the U. S. Commis
sionership at Kodiak and in now in
Juneau. Mr. Roach said he had dip
lomas and certificates in his posses
sion under McKibben’s name and
0
owned a supply of surgical instru
ments worth several thousands dol
lars. Apparently he is an experenc
ed surgeon and phylsician as he had
performed a number of operations,
including one or two major ones, all
being successful. At least one re
quest had been received at the Gov
ernor’s office to suspend action in
the matter and permit Webb io re
main there until another physician
could be secured, saying there was
a number of case's of illness there
needing his attention.
J. W. Beach, insane, had been re
siding at Anchorage for a number of
years past. Frank Mejstrick, though
committed from Anchorage, had pre
viously been a resident of Seward
and is quite well known here. John
Holmfcerg, was formerly a resident
of Cordova. Some months ago, while
at work making ties on Knights Is
land he broke a leg. He had been
receiving treatment at the govern
ment hospital since. He is a man
about forty-five years of age. It is
stated Holmiberg imagines people
are constantly talking about him
while others are endeavoring to kill.
JOE HOFMAN MAY BE
INDUCED TO MAKE RACE
The only news of a political nature
on Fourth avenue today is that Coun
cilman Joe Hofman, an old time resi
dent of Seward and proprietor of the
Belmont Hotel, is being groomed to
make the race for legislator from the
Third division. Mr. Hofman who at
present is tie inspector for the Alaska

will undoubtedly make a strong race
if induced to run.
