PRICK 10 CENTS KETCHIKAN. ALA8KA. FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1913. VOL. VII. NO 27 a
* What promises to he the
greatest trial thus far in the
history of Alaska is now in
the preliminary stages at Ju
neau. where jurymen to try
Joseph MacDonald for murder
are now being examined.
According to the Juneau pa
pers one juror. Frank Harvey,
had been accepted up to Wed
nesday night, and it looked as
though considerable trouble
would be experienced in secur
ing the necessary twelve.
The crime charged is mur
der in the first degree, for the
killing of N. C. Jones, formerly
an employee of the Treadwell
mines, at the time when Mac
. Donald was superintendent
there. It appears that Jone?
desired that mines be shut
* down on Sudnays, and that in
urging MacDonald to close
them hot words passed be
tween the men. Later Jones
was found dead. MacDonald
was arrested and a coroner's
jury found him not guilty.
This took place in 1902.
For over ten years nothing
\ ;.s ever done regarding the
natter, but last year the grand
jury, at the instance of the dis
trict attorney of the First Ju
dicial District brought in an in
T.tirient agaist MacDonald.
Ti e latter was at the time in
Mexico looking after person i
ir ining interests. When noti
fied of the action taken by the
grand jury he immediately a
greed to come to Alaska with
out t-xtradition. and in fact paid
the bills of his guards for the
vhole distance.
"1 he accused man is repre
sented by \tlorneys S. H. Piles
formerly l'. S. Senator for
Washington: J. M. Shoup form
erly United States Marshal for
the fir-t division of Alaska:
• .i„. k" and S. Hellenthal and

”i he necessary papers for the
row cold storage building were
s gved today, and Contractor
O.iist leaves on the Princess
Sophia for the south to order
the necessary material for the
t '.hiding.
This means that within the
next couple of weeks the old
buildings will be removed and
actual work on excavating for
ihe new one will be under way.
There is quite a problem in
one part of the work for the
contractor, as the reef drops off
u;' the southwest cornor so
sharply that a corner butress
will have to be put in 20 feet in
height of reinforced concrete.
Two smaller pillars will have
lo be put in in addition to the
larger one. This work will
have (o be done in a caisson
under pressure, and will be the
first of the kind ever attempt
ed in Alaska. The balance of
the foundation is an easy mat
ter ; as it will be on the solid
;ock, which is so situated that
hery little of it will have to be
I blasted out.
In addition to the construc
tion material Mr. Quist will
order the ice-making and cold
siorage plant. The plans call
for the installation of a 40 ton
plant to be ready for business
this fall, and a second unit of
the same size will he added
nexl year. This coming winter
there will be no attempt at re
frigeration outside of the man
ufacture of ice, and Ihe keep
ing on hand of bait and boxes
lor the fishermen.
Mr. Quist expects to begin
the construction of an addition
;d cold storage plant in Seattle
for the New England company
within the next month or two
and will sign the contracts and
make his arrangements for the
preliminary work at Vancou
ver. U. G., on his present trip.
Mrs. Quist and little daughter,
who have been visiting here
for Ihe past ten days, will ac
company him south.
STEAMER OSPREY ARRIVES
The steamer Osprey, the ves

government as fish patrol boat,
arrived up from the Sound
this morning. Captain Rdwln
