CORPSE FOUND ON j
BEACH THOUGHT TO i
BE JOHN 1DNICK!
The sea gave up one of its dead
during the night, when on the
high tide, a badly decomposed
body was deposited on the beach
sands. The corpse is believed to
be that of John (Timberline) Mad
nick who disappeared on the
morning of May 30, and who was
thought to have committed sui
cide.
A railroad section crew, passing
by on a hand-car at 8 o’clock this
I morning, first discovered the body
and reported to Foreman Tos. Nev
| ille of the A. R. R. roundhouse
i who, in turn, notified local au
i thorities, U. S. Commissioner
I Curtis Morford, Dr. A. D. Haver
i stock and P. C. McMullen, under
taker.
The preliminary examination
made on the spot revealed the
body had been in the water for
a considerable period; dressed in
clothing of a dark material and j
every pocket filled with rocks.
A belt supported the trousers and
the black shoes appeared to be
new ones. The body was found
face down; a lone tuft of black
hair was all that remained on
the skull. Here and there seaweed
was entangled about the body.
Last evening, shortly after 8
o’clock, the body was seen floating '
in the water between the break
water and the old sawmill but
little was it realized that the ob
ject gazed upon was a corpse.
The remains were lifted upon a
hand-car, taken to the end of the
Fourth Avenue railroad “Y” where
it was transferred to the hearse
and thence to the undertaking es
tablishment.
John Madnick, a pioneer of Al
I aska, was about 50 years of age,
I and for many years had made
! Seward his home. Months prior
to his disappearance, between the
hours of 2 and 6 a. m. on the
morning of Decoration Day, he had
been in poor health and this, it
j is thought, preyed upon his mind.
1 At that time the opinion was ex
j pressed by those intimate with him
and his personal habits, that he
had done away with himself by
jumping into the bay This opin
ion, judging from the preliminary
investigation of the body found
today, is probably correct As
far as is known at this time the
only relative is a brother who, some
years ago, lived in Tacoma, Wash.
FALL OPEN SEASON
Ketchikan trollers recently ask
ed Director Henry O’Malley, of
the Bureau of Fisheries, for the
j purpose of requesting that an open
| season for trolling be made this
J fall. This in view of the fact that
the tieup of the trollers in South,
east Alaska had virtually made a
closed month of June, says the
Tribune.
A suggestion was recently made
to the Ketchikan City Council
that Down Flakes be used to lay
the dust on the streets during the
Summer months. It was pointed !
out that Ketchikan tests had;
proved Down Flakes satisfactory
and that they were cheaper to
use than oil, reports the Ketchikan
Tribune.
The halibut schooner Pioneer, j
Capt. Ed Tolefson, arrived in port i
today from the banks with 24.000
pounds of fish.
