HAD BEEN MISSING A WEEK
Disappeared Last Saturday After Re
ceiving Pay at Quincy Mine and Re
mains war Found This Morning by
Searching Party 'Post Mortem is
:Held Inquest Monday.
Lying face downward In a swamp,
with the head buried up to the ears in
mud and slush, the body of Mat Kuk
klla, of the Quincy location, wag found
about 9 o'clock this morning in a ra
vine thirty feet deep on the Quincy
hillside about three-quarters of a mile
from the main portion of the city.
Kukkila had been missing since last
Saturday evening, after receiving his
pay from the Quincy Mining company
by whom he was employed. He gave
all but 12 of his money to his wife and
came down town Saturday evening,
Not returning his wife reported his
absence to the police on Monday, ask
Ing them to help locate him. It was
rumored that he had been seen at the
depot purchasing a ticket for Montana,
but the finding of the dead body today
has cleared up the mystery of his dls
appeurance. He had only ten cenls on
his person when found.
A party of seven men,'- consisting of
Christopher and John Kotlla, August
Antilla, Matt Lelnonen and three oth
cru, have been conducting a search for
Kukkila and while roaming about the
ravines and gulleys south of the Quln
cy location railroad came across the
body as described above. One of the
party was sent down town to notify
the police and Justice Olivier was sum
moned in his capacity as coroner. Led
by Chief of Police Tlbor a large party
of men climbed the muddy hillside and
came at last to the exact spot where
the corpse lay. It was at the bottom
of one of the deepest ravines, the sides
of which rose precipitously on either
side. The i ate waa completely burled
in the mud, which came up over the
ears, and the clothing was wet with the
exposure. A superficial examination
was made, but it was decided that a
postmortem examination was neces
sary to determine the cause of the
man's death and County Physician v,
II. Jackson was notified.
Inquest on Monday.
A coroner's Jury consisting of Nich
olas Evert, Leonard Meola, Frank
i.v,m,.i rti. hard Itourko. Jr.. William
Lepisto and Peter Maler was impan
eled bv Justice Olivier to hold an in
quest, which was adjourned to Monday
ufternoon at 2 o'clock at Justice
vicr'i office. Undertaker Andrew Pet
nja took charge of the remains and
brought them to his morgue on iez
cuco street.
Kukkila was a heavily built man ap
parently about 35 years of age, and has
a wife and family living at the Quincy.
Just how he came to be at the place
where found Is difficult to say, but It
is said there Is a footpath running up
the ravine, which Is sometimes used as
a shortcut by people living on the ex
treme outskirts of the Quincy location.
Whether the man slipped and fell Into
the ravine or whether he met with foul
Play has not been determ'Med.
His Neck Broken.
When the body was striped at the
undertaking rooms no marks of vio
lence were found, but the examination
conducted by County Physician Jack
son revealed the fact that Kukklla's
neck was broken.
Sheriff Byers has been notified nnd
an Investigation Is now under way. It
was learned this morning that a neigh
bor of Kukklla's had been with him In
. several Hancock saloons early last Sat
urday evening, but the neighbor in
question does not know where Kukkila
went after he left him.

C. M. B. A. LOSES CASE.
New York Decision Agrees With One
Issued in Michigan.
Ann Arbor, Mich., Nov. 27. Father
Kelley, of St. Thomas church, ha
received a telegram from New York
stating that the court of appeals of
New York state had rendered a de
clslon in favor of Dodwell in the cele-
hrntprf ca of Dodwell against the
C. M. B. A.
This substantiates the decree ren
dered by Judge Klnne of this court
In the case of McWllllams against the
C. M. B. A. ofiBome four years ago
which excited the interest of several
states. New York and Pennsylvania
pariiciiilarly. . . ...
Four years ago the C. M. B. A. de
elded to raise the rates of all its mem
bers. The old men protested and took
the matter into the courts. Michael
McWllllams. from Ann Arbor, and a
Mr. Dodwell, of Buffalo, N. Y., start
Ina- test cases.
Judge Klnne held in the case of
McWllllams that the agreement In the
constitution of the C. M. B. A. that
rates of assessment should always
remain the same was a part of the
contract with the members, and that
hia mtA nf Insurance could not be
raised without the consent of the In
sured. The C. M. B. A. took the case
to the 'supreme court of Michigan,
where it is still pending. In the mean
time a similar case was started In New
York, the home of the corporation, by
Dodwell, who has won after two ap
peals.
DR. COOK A FAKIR?
Alaskans Believe His Claims to Hav

Dr. Cook is a gigantic fakir, says Val
Diebold, who has recently , returned
thot rnnntrv where he owns a
mlntnsr claim, almost in sight of Mt.
McKlnley. Mr. Diebold states that he
has trnveled around the base of Mt.
McKlnley and that it Is practically
such a short period of time as the
such a short period of time at the
claims to have
climbed It. The sides of the mountain
am nearlv ocrnendlcular and are cov
ered with overhanging Ice, which would
make the ascent a work of weeks or
even months. In view of the improb
ebillv of Dr. Cook's Mt. McKlnley story
the people of Alaska are of the belief
Mint lila nllntro.1 rilarnverV Of tne
North pole l also a fabrication.
Mr. Diebold unexpectedy returned to

Washington Payne said:
There will be amendments to the
nterstute . commerce law, the postal
savings bank question will come up
Bhlp Bubsldy will be prominent, and
the Sherman anti-trust law will need
consideration. I don't think congress
will Interfere In the Nicaragua!! ques

Administration's Program.
Washington, Nov. 27. Recent con
ferences at the white house have pret

of these Is that there Is no probability
of the monetary commission's report
being presented or considered at this
session; and second, that legislation
looking toward the establishment of a
postal savings bank will have to wait
until the monetary commission's, report
Is made and the new currency law enforced.

OT CAMPAIGN ON LIQUOR
ISSUE IN STATE OF ALABAMA
ight Between "Dryt" and "Wets"
Closed Today in Whirlwind Fashion
and on Monday the Voters Will De
cide Issue Prohibition Amendment
to Constitution Proposed.
BIG LIVESTOCK
SHOW IS OPEN
Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 27. The
fight between those who favor the
mendrnent of the State Constitution
n the interest of prohibition and
those in opposition closed today In a
hirlwlnd finish and Monday the
people will vote for the rejection or
adoption of the amendment. The
campaign has been one of the hottest
Alabama every experienced and has
ttracted the uttentlon of the entire
country for the reason that the result
s expected to prove more farreaching
n Its effect upon the national temper
ance movement than any election held
In recent years.
The prediction is being freely made
that If the constitutional amendment
defeated at Monday's election the
doors of Alabama will be opened to
he saloons within three years. The
efeat of the amendment would be
accepted by the antl-prohlbitlonists as
a repudiation of the temperance laws
under which Alabama has become one
f the "dryest" states of the Union,
and little doubt is felt that the down
fall of the measure would be follow
d by an energetic campaign for con
trol of the next legislature, to be
lected in 1911. The fight will be
carried before this body, and the ar
gument will be used that the people
are tired of drastic prohibition laws
and that this feeling of dissatisfaction
was manifested in the election where
n the nrobihition amendment went
down In defeat.
If the amendment Is adopted it will
seal te fate of the saloon in Alabama
for yeurs to come probably for all
Ime. It is, therefore, a fight to the
death so far as the saloon Interests
are concerned. Without the amend
ment In the constitution they could sit
by and quietly wait for a favorable
opportunity to launch a fight for the
abolishment of the rigid prohibition
laws. With the amendment In the con
stitution the task would be practical
ly hopeless. Not only would they have
to get a majority of two-thirds In the
legislature to have a vote upon the
removal of the amendment, but they
would have to go before the people
and obtain its repudiation In a popular
election.
Tho result of the contest cannot be
predicted with any degree of certain
ty. Today the unti-prohibitionlsts are
loudly proclaiming thnt they see vie
tory in sight. The fact that a number
of leadlnjr citizens throughout the
State who were formerly numbered
with the prohibitionists have taken an
active part In the campaign to' defeat
the constitutional amendment leads
those who have borne the brunt of the
fight against so-called radicalism to
believe that the turn of the tide has
come. They see, or profess to see, in
the strong opposition to constitution
ul prohibition a breaking away from
the movement which has swept Geor
gla, Tennessee, Alabama and other
states into the prohibition column and
which ha made many parts of In
dlana, Ohio, Kentucky and otner
western and southern states close the
door against the saloon.
While admitting that there have
been many desertions from the ranks
the prohibitionists express confidence
in their ability to carry the amend
ment anA assert that thev have mad
moro than enough converts from th
opposition forces to offset the votes
of those who have gone to the other
side. They hold that the fight is one
Uif "saloon or no saloon," and tacuiy
adm t that nroh bltlon in Aiaoama
stands or falls with the amendment
In the effort to abolish the liquor
traffic Alabama has gone to leglslativ
extremes seldom or never before wit
nessed In the war on the saloon, and
it is upon this fact that the antl-pro-hibitionlsts
base their hope of a re
action. If this reaction develops, Its
effect will undoubtedly be felt in
other states where the temperance
movement has been making progress.
and its Influence, It is believed, will
be to check the movement. If. on the
other hand, Alabama Indorses Its pro
hibition laws by writing prohibition in
the constitution, then It will give new
courage to tne temperance utct
throughout the country and other
States will no doubt bring forward
inu-a na farreachlni as those now on
the statue books of Alabama. The elec
tlon. In other words. Is going to prove
a big boost to one of the sides In tho
temperance controversy, and the fight
was made with a thorough understand
ing on both sides as to Its bearing
upon the future of the temperance
movement in the country at large.
