MURDER WAS
FIENDISH ONE
(Continued from Page One)
girl—were in the house in a state of
hysterical fear and terror. The old
est of these, a boy of ten, says that
his father rested from time to time
and then renewed hie assaults upon
his wife. The woman is supposed to
have died sometime yesterday morn
ing. In the afternoon McLean sent a
message to Rev. B. P. KaseevarofT,
priest of the Greek church at this
place who is the uncle of the dead
woman, notifying him that Mrs. Mc
Lean was dead. Later McLean ad
mitted to Rev. Kassevaroff that he
had killed the woman, but at the in
quest, held here this morning, ho de
clared his wife was killed in a run
away of his dog team, the sled over
turning, he asserted, and dragging
her body for hundreds of yards. The
jury brought in a verdict that she
came to her death from bruises in
flicted by McLean. McLean was ar
rested by United States Deputy Mar
| shal H. J. Paulsen and is now in the
j Dillingham jail.
Mrs. McLean was the daughter of
Rev. Father F ashevaroff, priest of the
j Greek church at 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 a native Australian and,
has had a checkered career. When
thirteen years of age he ran away
from home, coming to San Francisco.
From that place he came to the Bris
tol buy region, marrying here. In
1910 he was one of the census enum
erators, covering the Illiamna lake
region. He was of a quarrelsome dis
position and has had numerous fights.
Six weeks ago he came near mur
dering 0. Larsen, a Norwegian of
Wood river, who came to the
Nushagak river region from Sun
Francisco a year ago. In a dispute
over a poker game McLean struck
Larsen with a beer bottle such a blow
on the head that Larsen lay unconsci
ous fourteen days. He is now re
covering. For this McLean was fined
i $100 by Commissioner L. H. French.
f Had it not have been for the fact
5 that he wa* Territorial schoolteacher
> he would have been gievn a jail sen
[itence in addition.
He was also known as a wife-beater
and last summer served a jail sen
tence in addition to paying a fine for
beating his wife. At that time he
came near murdering Mrs. McLean.
Three weeks ago in a fight with C.
W. Larsen, of Dillingham, McLean
was knocked down and beaten.
The McLean children have been
taken in charge by their uncle, Rev.
B. P. Kashevaroff. The body of the
dead woman is now being kept in a
frozen condition until a post-mortem
examination of her injuries can be
made by D. L. H. French. All the
bones of her face are broken in and
also the frontal cranial bones, as well
as the bones of her chest.

HENRY FORD.
Henry Ford has been called a jack
ass and a clown because he hired a
ship and sailed across the sea to
stop the most frightful slaughter the
world has ever known. The big thing
in his action is not the question
whether he will or will not stop the
war, but the fact that he is willing to
try! It was by trying that he got
where he is. But still he keeps on
trying.
In the face of overwhelming odds,
in spite of a world-wide criticism, he
is willing to undertake the greatest
job that ever fell to tho lot of a
human being in the world’s history.
He brushes aside the thousands of
columns of newspaper criticisms, he
ignores the public utterance of so
called statesmen, he sets his face to
ward the most glorious goal that any
man ever hoped to achieve-^-and goes
on his way Trying.
So far, he is the only person who
Has taken a definite step toward end
ing the war. True it may not be the
right step, you get that by trying.
The men who sit in swivel chairs and
sneer and make funny jokes about
that man Ford are not taking steps of
any kind to end the war. The job
looks too big and too hopeless to
them. It looks big to Ford and may
be it looks hopeless to him. But he’s
got the nerve to try and spends his
own money. Asking aid of no man.
What a nation this would be, if each
industry could be headed by a Ford
who was willing to try, what chance
would any other nation under the sun
havo with us. What if more of us
were willing to try and less of us
were slaves of convention and
creatures of habit. There is a word
: in the dictionary called can’t, leave it
there. Never use it. Well we’ve been
“Henry Fording” it for the past
twelve years, and expect to keep right
at it, until tho Towers that be, and
the Engineers that direct it, awaken
to the fact that Seward is the Begin
! ning and Final jumping off place of
construction of Government railroads
I in Alaska. In the meantime, we have
' plenty time and help to serve you.
