j for transpired, is liable. to Kiv• •

ing Dr. Dalton's "early activity,"
ilhis, owing probably l<» ineom
' pleteness of |he eonini issioni'r'f
• statement at. the hearing: on lasl
[ Thursday.
i I >r. Dal 1011. on railing at the
| commissioner's re.sidenei* half ;i
'day after l)r. r.amieia's death
j stated that il was said the de
j ceased hail ft in his residence
j or his phw business, person
•nl ofl'ii'ts of value, and possibl>
! money, and inquired whether anv
j steps In safeguard Ihein at. oner
'could be taken by proceedings in
j probate, which was substantial
! the purport: also, of the inquires
i that Mr. (iiles had made during
j an earlier call. Mr. Shepard ask
! ed Dr. Dalton whether he was «'i
j creditor, and on receiving an af
| Urinative answer, told him I hat :i
j creditor could apply for adminis
I (ration after the lapse «»r .']() days,
i but that until llien no one could
! be appointed except an heir, even
: if it were morally certain that
i there vere 110 heirs resident in
i Alaska. »
j Dr. Dalton then inquired
| whether there was not such a
| thing as temporary administra
tion, to which Mr. Shepard an
swered that there was, in a case
of necessity for il, and asked
I whether Dr. Dalton desired to
| be appointed special administra
; tor, and told him( that he could
I make application therefor if lie
| wished, hut that lie ought to ein
| ploy an attorney to prepare and
| present I he applical ion.
During the previous call of Mr.
<iiles no reference was made, Mr.
Shepard says, lo proceedings for
a special administration. He al
so says that his remarks at the
hearing as to the undesjrahilily
of conversations with him rela
tive to impending judicial action
on his part, bore reference fully
as much to the protests from
various people against Dr. I mi
ton's petition, as lo the calls
made upon him by Mr. fSiles aril
Dr. Dalton.

Victim of Portland Trunk Murder!"
Was Not Wealthy Seid
Bong
II is seldom thai a person is .
permitted lo read his own obit
uary notice, as was published (
throughout the world in I In; pub
lie press. II is emharassing
enough to peruse the ordinary
press accounts of your passage
from earthly scenes into the (
great beyond, but when you are '
ushered into eternity by the
newspapers through a diabolical
murder* your remains cut. into
several parts, parked into a trunk
ami -hipped from your home city
io another, it is indeed gruesome
and uncanny.
Such, however, is the experi
ence recently passed through by
Seid IJn'iir, a rich Heleslial, who
reached Seward on the last Nor- ,
Ihwcstern. !
Seid Hong i> a I'.hinrse nierch-j
iiut prince of Portland. Oregon,
i lie is some man in that city. A<j|
: a side line, Hong furnishes illii-J
! nese labor to the Alaska canncr-j
lies, and makes a prctiy penny
! through his contracts with the;
j lisli companies. Associated with:
i liong in this enterprise was his
cousin, one Seid Hing. Ming in
■curred the displeasure «• f another
Celestial, who sought revenge by
: murder. The remains were pack
I ed in a trunk and shipped from
■ Portland to Seattle. When the
: corpse was found by the police
| ant horit ies, the only means of'
identification were some business
cards which read. "Seid Bong, i
Portland, Oregon." The natural
conclusion. which the police and .
jllie reporters drew from this evi-i
deuce was that the victim was
j Seid Hong. Hence the news was
' Hashed over the wires to the uI — I
j lei-most parts of the earth that |
Sent Hong, the merchant prince!
jof Portland, had been murdered, j
And. of course, to make the I
I ease complete. ;i woman must 1
|lia\e pliiNcd some part. Several!
: day* later Usisin, the most beau-!
i I il'u! Chinese woman on Ihc Pa-'
icilic coast, was dragged into the I
| matter by the police and the re-J
; porters. At the trial it was found!
that Oasin had nothing to do with '
•Hie tragedy, hu I there was a wo. '
l man in the case, al that, and her j
I husband was the man who killed!
'Seid Hing. Tile slayer is now'
i ser\ iug a life term.
Seid Hong is c11 route to Xush- j
avak to look after his interests
| there. Me is a highly educated j
i He|estial. is rolling in wealth audi
'is altogether a pleasant fellow.--!
