Seattle, Feb.16- Mrs. Alma Pauline Keefe, daughter of John Sporck, a well known 
pioneer and wealthy property owner of this city, committed suicide by shooting with 
a 38-caliber revolver in the front yard of her residence yesterday. She had been in 
a state of dispondency for more than a week past. Out of a family of four, three have
met death under circumstances which in each instance indicated that he had been 
foully dealt with. He was a furniture dealer in Everett and arrived in this city one 
afternoon to make purchases for his stock. On the following morning his hat was found
on Vesler dock and no trace of his whereabouts was ever found. He was known to have 
had a considerable sum of money in his possession, and the police at the time 
advanced the theory that he was murdered and robbed on the water front by persons who
afterwards deposited his body in the bay. His life was insured and the insurance 
companies, accepting this theory of the disappearance, are understood to have paid 
the claim of the widow.

OBITUARY OF KING IS READ AT FINAL RITES

At the funeral services for John R. King, G.A.R. veteran who died at his home near 
Snohomish May 6 at the age of 88 years, Friday aftrnoon, D.F. Sexton, adjutant of 
O.B. Morton post No. 10 G.A. R., read the following obituary, entitled "The 
Passing of a Comrade": 

"John R. King was born near Lebanon, Boone county, Indiana, March 4, 1837. At the 
time Indiana as a state was in its infancy and but sparsely settled. At the age of 
nineteen he, with his father's family, migrated to Wisconsin which was this time 
comparatively a wilderness country. 

"Remaining in Wisconsin for a short time he changed his location to Winona, Minn., 
where at the age of 21 in the year 1858, the year in which Minnesota was admitted as 
a state, he married Miss Carrie Knowles of Winona. To this union there were born six 
children, four of whom are living, Charles E. of Snohomish, Mrs. Nettie Russell of 
California, Chancy A. of Snohomish and Mrs. Katherine Simmons of Seattle. On July 
23, 1862, impelled by a spirit of loyalty and duty to his country, he entered its 
service for the preservation of the union, enlisting in the Sixth Minnesota Volunteer
infantry for a term of three years or during the war but his constitution not being 
robust enough to endure the privation, exposures and hardships of active army life, 
he was discharged from service for physical disability before the expiration of the 
full time of enlistment. After his first wife was taken from him by death, he was 
joined in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Milner December 4, 1877, in Lyon county, 
Minnesota, to whom were born two children, Myrtle, now Mrs. Neimeyer of Kenmore, 
Wash., and Louis M. King of Everett. This Mrs. King departed this life at their home 
ten years ago. In addition to the children enumerated there also survived near 
relatives of Comrade King, sixteen grandchildren, ten great grand children and one 
sister, Mrs. Hanley of Minnesota. By the death of this comrade of the Civil war not 
only a patriot as a soldier but a patriot as a citizen has passed from life's 
conflicts, for he ever stood for law and order, ready to defend the principals of 
justice and right. He was not one of your neutral kind; you could always know where 
to find him when questions of morality and good citizenship were involved. He was a 
devoted member of the First Methodist Episcopal church in Snohomish. Although his 
life was mostly spent on the frontiers, where his opportunities for a acquiring an 
education when young were very limited, by thoughtful observation and reading he 
became possessed of a liberal fund of information. Thirty-six years ago, in the year 
1889, he moved to what then Washington territory, and located near Snohomish where by
perseverance and taxing his strength to the utmost, he converted a portion of the 
wilderness into a comfortable and pleasant home, where he lived, enjoying the 
respect and kind and affectionate regards of his neighbors and numerous friends 
until called by death. He became a member of Morton post No. 10, G.A.R., June 25, 
1892, and during the time since, he served efficiently and acceptably as post 
commander. He was ever and always a true comrade. By the passing of this, another 
comrade of the Civil war, we are admonished that the reaper is at work gathering 
in the remnant of those who responded to their country's call that the Star 
Spangled Banner, the emblem of liberty, might continue to float as of yore over a 
united country."

Dr. Stafford was summoned last Tuesday morning to investigate the death of Wm. 
Kingman, which occured at Dubuque's mill, near Monroe Monday night. An inquest was 
held over the body of Kingman, and verdict returned to the effect that Kingman 
came to his death by blows and kicks inflicted by Burns. The facts of the case in 
short are these: Kingman who was a blacksmith at Monroe, and Burns, a millman, 
married sisters, the Allen girls. For some time a family row had been brewing, 
and once before they had come to blows. Monday morning Kingman and his wife went
down to the Dubuque mill where Burns was at work, and uprailed him for slandering 
Mrs. Kingman. He drew from his pocket a hunting knife in a sheathe and attempted 
to strike Burns. Failing in this he threw the knife away and began stiking with 
his fists. At this Burns made a plunge at him, and knocked him down, and whle he 
lay on the ground, kicked him in the face knocking him senseless. Kingman soon 
came to, and walked to the Salem Wood's place, but about two o'clock again became 
insensless and died at ten o'clock that night of hemorrhage of the brain. The 
coroner's inquest was held Tuesday morning and in the afternoon the preliminary 
hearing before Justice Stretch was given. Burns was bound over to the superior 
court with a bond of $1000 which he readily secured. The trial will probably be 
held during the April term of the superior court.

Last Sunday night William Kingsley, a logger, was killed by the northbound 
passenger at Machias about 8 p.m. The coroner's jury impanelled to investigate 
the case on Monday found that the deceased had come to his death by being struck 
by the train. It appears that Kingsey had "called" for a dance at Machias all 
Saturday night getting no sleep whatever. Sunday he was around with the boys all 
day until about 7:30 when it is supposed he started for home to go to bed. The 
hypothesis is after this that he went down the track a little way and then sat 
down to rest and dozed off., by or near the track and that when the train came 
thundering along he started up half awake and in some way got in from of the 
engine and thus killed. The fireman testified that he thought they had struck 
something and upon their going back to the place Kingsley's body was found there. 
The deceased had been in Machias aobut three months in the employ of Smith and 
Miniger, loggers. He was about 35 years of age and looked upon by his associates 
as being a steady workman. He was a social member of the K.O.T.M. which lodge took 
charge of the body. He had no relatives as far as known in this state, his 
relatives residing at Grove,Michigan.

This morning sometime between 1 and 3 o'clock, Wm. Wroth, alias "Omaha Bill," shot 
and killed Wm. KINNEY, known as "Texas Jack," at the front door of the Gold Leaf 
saloon. Texas Jack, who has been working in a logging camp east of here, came to 
town last evening, made some purchases and then proceeded to load up with fire 
water, and resorted to the Gold Leaf. Wm. Wroth, who lately became a co-partner 
with Della Stone, the proprieter of the Golden Leaf, tends bar at that resort 
nights, and it seems often imbibes himself. Between Wroth and Kinney there had 
been a standing fued, and this was aggravated last night by the liquor both had 
imbibed. After a good deal of hot words, Wroth threatened shooting, and Kinney 
not departing, he carried out his threat, firing three shots, the second of which 
struck Kinney and pierced his heart. He staggered about fourty feet from the door 
and fell dead. The officers were called and arrested Wroth, and he is now in the 
county jail. Coroner Rogers came up this morning and this afternoon summoned 
Messrs. Warner, Whitfield, Cole, Foss, Boyle and Spurrell to sit as a jury of 
inquest, which is listening to testimony as the Tribune goes to press.

Jonas P. Kisner died very suddenly at his home Saturday evening, August 14. He had 
gone home from down town about 5 o'clock, and was sitting in his chair, conversing

Snohomish May 8- This community was startled early this morning by news from the 
Snohomish Logging company's camp that another appalling accident had occurred on 
their tram railway leading down the steep incline to the log camp south of town. 
The Herald reporter and three other parties started for the scene of the disaster 
on their wheels, and arriving for the point of the disaster, which proved to be at 
the foot of the hill where the high trestle leads from the Cathcart road across 
the marsh level this side. After coming in sight of the wreck, another logging 
engine was discovered coming down the steep grade, and in a moment more it was
down the steep grade, and piled on top of the other engine, an immense cloud of 
steam arising instantaneously from the mass of debris piled in the ravine. On 
arriving at the spot it was discovered that Engineer Bakeman, on the second engine 
and the fireman had escaped injury by jumping when they saw the inevitable 
disaster awaiting them ahead, and they luckily escaped with slight scars or 
bruses. The first engine had come down with a train of loaded cars, five in 
number. and the engine is supposed to have jumped the track, or the rails have 
spread, the coupling breaking letting the cars run on ahead, while the engine 
crashed through the trestle into the marsh 20 feet below and at the same point 
that a train ran off a year ago. 

The engineer, M.J. Riley was buried beneath the engine, killing him instantly, and 
also scalding and inflicting such injuries upon A.L. KITTLE, a brakeman, that he has 
since died. The third man, a scaler for the Seattle Cedar company, Frank Tomlinson, 
of Ballard, being least hurt of all, and who was this p.m. sent to Seattle hospital. 
The primary cause of the accident seems to have been a greased track on the down 
grade, or a failure of the brake, to work, and the extra strain that spread the 
rails and threw the engine upon the ties and from thence to the ground below. The 
wreck is a fearful scene of destruction and crowds have been visiting it all day. 
Engineer Riley's family live in Evertt, on Norton ave, and Tomlinson's home is at 
Ballard.

ELLA BLACKMAN NEE KNAPP

WAS WIFE OF PIONEER LUMBERMAN OF THIS DISTRICT, COMING TO SNOHOMISH IN 1875

Mrs. Ella E. Blackman, resident of Snohomish for 52 years, passed away at her home 
on Ave. B Tuesday morning after several days illness. Mrs. Blackman was the widow 
of Hyrcanus Blackman, one of the pioneers of Snohomish, who with his brothers A.A. 
Blackman and E. Blackman, operated the first logging and lumbering industries in 
the county, and for whom many local places are named. Mrs. Blackman's death is 
mourned by a wide circle of friends among the older residents of the community. 
She was always known as a "home body," not very active in community affairs, but 
blessed with a great love of humanity and a kindly regard for everyone. She was 
born in Bradley, Maine, and was married to Mr. Blackman there in 1870. They came 
to Washington in 1872 and in 1875 settled in Snohomish. From that time until 1907 
they operated logging camps and lumber mills in various parts of the district, 
several of which were on a site down the river a short distance from the location 
of the Snohomish Iron Works. In 1907 the brothers became interested in Wenatchee 
orchards, but always made their homes for at least part of the year in Snohomish. 
They owned much business property in Snohomish. Mrs. Blackman is survived by a 
daughter, Mrs. William S. Ford, of Wenatchee; three grand daughters, Phyllis Ford, 
and Beverly and Barbara Blackman, of Wenatchee, and a brother Herbert C. Knapp of 
Everett, Clifford Blackman, her son, died in 1920. Rev. L.H. Pedersen will 
officiate at the funeral services which are to be held Saturday from the First 
Presbyterian Church at 2 o'clock. Interment will be in the G.A.R. cemetery under

Snohomish, Aug. 23- C.B. Bakeman, deputy coroner, is back from a trip to Darrington, 
to investigate the death of George Knudson, a man about 60 years old, who died at 
that place Monday probably from natural causes. the funeral was held in Arlington, 
Tuesday. Mr. Knudson owned a farm of thirty acres at that place, where he had resided
for about eight years; he also owned a farm worth probably $11,000 in Nebraska, in 
which state he settled many years ago upon his arrival from Norway. Mr. Knudson was 
a geinius in a way, his peculiar talent being the manufacture of violins. Mr. Bakeman
found in his humble little home, about fifty or sixty violins of unusual merit and 
made of all kinds of materials including vine maple, cedar and many other native 
woods. Although Mr. Knudson's talent was little known to the people of this county, 
it is probable that his fame is not altogether that unknown amoung violin and 
musical experts, for he had an exhibit at the Lewis and Clarke exposition and among 
many other marks of recogition received a silver medal. Mr. Knudson leaves a brother 
John, and a sister living in Darrington.

KROMER- At the hospital, Sunday night, June 19, of quick consumption Victor E. Kromer
breathed his last. He was taken sick last September, and soon after was taken to 
Southern California by his guardian J.W. Heffner, but it seems the trip was of no 
avail, and so he came back to die among his friends. He arrived here about a week 
ago, and was immediately taken to the hospital, where he lingered but a short time, 
dying Saturday night. Victor was twenty years of age, and leaves two sisters, Miss 
Emma 18years of age, and Mrs. Groll living on Lopez Island. The funeral was postponed
until Thursday afternoon, in order that hte latter might reach here, when it was held
in Presbyterian church, Rev. Dorrance officiating, and the body was laid to rest in 
Woodlawn Cemetery.
