j voting and the five opposing went out
to hustle up their crowd intending to
leturn and when given ballots, write
in ine names of their candidates.'
First Victim Dropped.
Ai >:’:<) o’clock, Paddy Ryan went
to the school house to vote.. It seems
• that Ryan, about seven years ago,
| served a term at the McNeil Island
federal prison for grand larceny,
which is -iaid by some to have been a
t ur pod up charge, but was uar'louetl
near the end of his sentence and re
stoied to full citizenship.
Magill informed Ryan that he
could not vote as> he was not a citizen
but a criminal.
Ryan quietly called Magill a “liar”
and in as instant, Magill av hipped out
his revolver from his hip bolster and
i fired. Ryan is said,to have been un
armed. Three shots struck Ryan in
various pints oi his body and the
fourth shot went into Ryan’s heart.
He stagiresed and dropped almost di
i ivXtiy into the entrance at the front
j doom ay. Magill told others who had
■ ;K)t voted to hurry. Exit and en
i trance to the school room, polling place
i was then made through the real door,
Ryan's b«Miy being covered over with
• a sheet and allowed to remain where
i it fell.
Kxcitement is Intense
Word of the shooting flew around
tl e village like wild fire. White men
and natives congregated and discuss
; e l tiu affair. Noftsger was delegated
to leave immediately for Seward to
acquaint fhe authorities of ihe shoot
ir*;. Charles Coach, a crippled trap
per. but a powerful man, was author
ized to arrest Magiil, anyway to dis
arm him in order to prevent further
! trouble until proper authorities could
arrive at Kenai.
Groups of men gathered about the
town and Coach went to the general
store, conducted by the Dawson broth
e-s and waited for Magill, as the lat
ter was expected to go down there
j from jh? school house at any time.
About 5:15 o’clock, Magill, having
closed the polls, walked down the
street and entered the rear door of the
store. Magill was armed, one revol
ver being swung across his shoulder
in a holster, and another gun in his
left hip pocket.
Second Victim Dropped
Coach was standing toward the
front of the store when Magill enter
ed the rear. Magill seemed to be ex
• ited and going up to Bob Dawson,

| extended his hand, and said:
“You and I are friends, and this
I need not effect our relationship.”
Magill kept one hand near his hip
pocket. Coach approached Magill and
said:
“Hands up.”
Magill quickly joached with his
right hand for the gun swung over
j the shoulder and the other went to his
i hip pocket. *
One shot was fired by Coach. Then
in quick succession three other buliets
were sent into Magill’s body. The
first shot was the fatal one for it went
through Magill’s right hand and into
I his heart. Magill sunk to the floor
. and expired at once, not making an
( utterance as- he went down.
Coach, although deputized to arrest
Magill, or at least to disarm him,
turned to Hob Dawson and said: “Here
I am, tell the boys what I did and that
1 am ready to go and submit to arrest
if that is required.”
Xoftsger, who was then out on the
trail bound for Seward, was sent tor
and toid to return. Xoftsger went
back to Ketiai and w'as told of the sec
ond shooting. The next morning, last
Tuesday at C> o’clock, I^oftsger ac
companied with Wik, started for Sew
ard, arriving last night.
The bodies were taken to a cabin
and laid *ide by side, to await the ar
rival of ollkers and the investigation.
Noftsger believed that some one
from the village took a small boat,
with an Evimudc and skilled the
shore of the inlet, reaching Seldovia
warning the officers there ol the
shooting. The officers, according to
I wireless advices received here yester
day are now trying to make their way
i up the inlet in the gasboat, Willard B.
Noftsger and Wiks state that Coach
shot in self defense and while acting
as an officer. Coach would have come
to Seward with the two men but on
; account of his crippled condition, can
not ride on a sled.
Deputy Isaac Evans stated today
that nothing would be done here, he
having reported all facts to the Mar
shal’s office at Valdez. Coach will
probably be brought here or to Val
dez on the first steamer down from
1 the inlet.
Magill has been at Kenai about 3
yeais and many reports of his high
handed methods have been received
from time to time but no charge or
investigation was ever made. Magill’s
relatives are well known in the state
of Washington, especially in the vicin
ity of Dayton.

The committee has asked that all
those appointed for special features

i the Editor right now' is going to give
' a warning that he will publish a “re

help in this patriotic move. 1 To real
izes that everybody is busy, perhaps,
but the rally is. for the purpose of
arousing, first, enthusiasm for the
third Liberty loan campaign and also,
indirectly, the sale of war stamps and
thrift stamps, as all cannot purchase
Liberty loan bonds but can help in
purchasing stamps.
It is a case of thrash the Kaiser or

this patriotic duty.

The commission lads won last night
at the A. 13. Hall, from the Seward
basket ball players by a score of 18

pieces for only one of the team ap
peared on the floor and the other
players were substitutes. The game
was good and clean, little rough work
being practised. The commisison boys
made 8 baskets and 2 fouls., Seward J
