FIENDISH MURDER
AT NUSHAGAK
SCHOOL TEACHER BEATS HIS
WIFE TO DEATH PRESENCE
OF CHILDREN
(From Gateway of Feb. 20)
j The victim of the tragedy was,
j Mrs. Alexander McLean, wife of
the government school teacher at
Nushagak, and the evidence shows
that she was slowly tortured to
| death. The torture is reported to
I have lasted throughout Wednesday
‘ night and a part of Thursday morn
| ing when death came to the relief
of the victim. The Gateway ac
i count of ihe tragedy follows:
Trouble arose in the McLean
home early Wednesday evening
when Mrs. McLean was preparing
| to attend a wedding. McLean who
j is high-tempered and vindictive in
disposition, suddenly hurled the
| lighted lamp at the woman. The
I lamp was smashed when it struck
her, spraying oil over her which
instantly burst into flames. Fear
ing that the house would be set on
j fire.McLean threw a blanket over
her and smothered the fire after
• her dress baa partly burned off.
Then knocking the woman down
j he kneeled upon her hips and with
her face downward, he grasped her
by the hair and churned her face up
1 and down on the floor until he was
tired. Then calling their little son.
Hector he ordered him to bring him
his tobacco and while seated on the
woman’s neck and shoulders he
cooly rolled a cigarette and smoked
, it. That done he again began
! churning the woman’s head and
breast against the floor.
While doing this a messenger
was sent to the McLean home from
the hall where _the wedding was
being celebrated to get song £ooks
: in the custody of McLean. In
answer to the repeated knocking
McLean finally came to the door
and getting the books handed them
to the messenger and then renew
ed his assault upon his wife who
was lying insensible on the floor.
The McLeans have four children,
, three of whom, two boys and a
| little girl, were in the house in a
1 state of hysterical fear and terror.
The oldest of these, a boy of ten
says that his father rested from
! time to time and then renewed his
assaults upon his wife. The woman
is supposed to have died sometime
yesterday morning. In the after
| noon McLean sent a message to
Rev. B. P. Kassevaroff, priest of
; the Greek Church at this place, who
■ is the uncle of the dead woman,
notifying him that Mrs. McLean
was dead. Later McLean admit
ted to Rev. Kassaveroff that he had
killed the woman, but at the in
quest held here this morning, he
declared that his wife was killed
in a runaway of his dog team, the
sled overturning and dragging her
j body for hundreds of yards. The

t jury brought in a verdict that she
; came to her death from injuries
received at the hands of McLean.
McLean was arrested by United
States Marshal H. J.' Paulsen, and
| is now in the Dillingham jail.
Mrs. McLean was the daughter
! of Rev. Kassaverofyf, priest of the
Greek church of Kodiak, Alaska.
, She and McLean have been married
| about twelve years. She was known
here as an excellent housekeeper
and a good mother.
McLean is an Australian and has
had a checkered career. .When 13
| years of age he ran away from home
; coming to San Francisco. From that
place he came to Bristol bay re
: gion, marrying here. In , 1910 he
■ was one of the census enumerators,
covering the Uliamna district. He
1 was of a quarrelsome disposition
and has had numerous fights.
He was also known as a wife
; beater and last summer served a
i jail sentence in addition to pay
1 ing a fine for beating his wife.
Ac that time he came near mur
dering Mrs. McLean.
Three weeks ago in a fight
with C. \V. Larson of Dillingham,
Mclean was knocked down and
beaten.
The body of the woman is now
being kept in a frozen condition
, until a post mortem examination
of her injuries can be made. All
tne bones of her face are broken
in and also the frontal cranial
, bones as w-ell as the bones of her
j chest.

BASKETBALL FANS
SEE GOOD GAME
THE METLAKATLA BOYS TAKE
HOME THE BACON, SCORE
17 TO 20
Before a very enthusiastic au
dience with plenty of boosters for
both sides, Ketchikan and* Metla
katla boys played one of the best
: games seen at the Rink, last Sat
urday evening. There was not
such a difference between the ri
vals as regards weight, but the
visitors appeared well trained and
Li and did some capital team work,
making up in speed for their lack
u weight One thing is certain,
if the local boys would only tend
to their knitting alittie more faith
fully they would make an aggre
gation hard to beat. They know
rht science of team work, they
checked and passed remarkably
well, but showed the lack of regu
lar practice. However, from the
.'cginning until cyiie point had
been scored it was a hard fought
game, although Metlakatla had the
lead throughout and finally scoring ;
20 to 17. At the finish the visit
ors gave three cheers for Ketchi
kan. The game was refereed by
Jack Loppes and Jess Moran.
Sunday morning at about ten
thirty the visitors left on the gas
boat Duke for Metlakatla, proudly i
taking home the bacon with them, j
Another game is promised for
the near future between the same
teams.
