LONE PROSPECTOR
TAKES OWN LIFE
Tired of Living Kills His Faithful Dog
and Then Sends a Bullet
Through His Heart.
U. S. Marshal Brenneman received
the information on the Northwestern
that John Duholm, a prospector liv
ing in a small cabin on Bear creek,
three miles from Moose pass and 12
miles from Mile 29 on the Alaska
Northern railroad, had committed sui
cide by shooting himself through the
heart with a 30-40 rifle.
Duholm first killed his faithful dog
that had lived with him for many
years and which the prospector was
determined should not be left to
starve. He killed the dog with a 22,
shooting it in the head.
Duholm had been talking of sui
cide for many weeks, but the pros
pectors with whom he had talked did
not believe he meant it and so they
did not inform the marshal at Sew
ard.
