FIND BODY OF :
MAT MILLER
Remains of Missing Man at Head
of Bay and Indicate That He
Froze to Death
The body of Mat Miller, who disa]>
peared the night of Januarv 11 on his
way to Johnson's logging camp across
the bay, was found frozen stilt in a
slough at the head of high t ide a short
distance this side of Resurrection riv-1
•r. by Pete Anderson last Monday.
Where the Ihh1\ lay it was washed by
extreme high tide but not deep enough
to be carried out by the ebb.
The clothing was saturated but not
frozen, showing that it had been cov
ered each time by the recurring tides.
The UhK was natural in appearance,
indicating that the man had not
drowned, but had frozen to death.
Miller passed the railroad sawmill
about f o'clock in the afternoon of the
day when he was last soon alive. He
was warned of the danger of trying to
go around the tide flats in the darkness
and particularly of the danger of the
river. He persisted in continuing his
journey but it is evident that he never
reached the river. The condition of
the body indicates that in the darkness
he became bewildered and lost and tin
ally benumbed by the cold, and when
his senses were deadened he no doubt
laid down and yielded his life without
realizing the fate which had overtaken
him.
Miller came u> Seward in December:
with ii!> wife, who lias been in the city
all the time. He started tor the log
ging camp to take a job there and had
been gone a week before he was missed.
He was a member of the order of
Knights of Pythias, belonging to tin*
Kalispell lodge. He came here from j
Rritish Columbia.
Th* Mineral of the dead man was
helu \v dnesda.. afternoon at I o'clock
from the Methodist church under the
auspices of tie* Knights of I ythins.

McLEAN GOES
DOWN IN BOAT
Noted Seal Poacher Is Lost With
Schooner W hich Turned Tur
tle in Late Storm
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Victoria. 15. C., Jan. 2!> - Alexander
McLean, the notorious seal poacher of
the Carmencita, went down in
the great storm of Tuesday with the
fishing schooner 1'MnC. which turned
turtle and sank with all on board off
the coast of Vancouver island. Six
men were in the crew. 'Phis was the
same storm which wreckedthe \ aleneia.
The schooner was lost farther up the
coast and the news just arrived here
this morning.

CANDLMFISH BIGIN TO RUN
Shoals of Them Crowd the
Streams and are Largely Caught
Caudle tish art* beginning to run in
the creeks in shoals and they cun easi
ly he captured by the barrel. A small
seine will easily scoop up a bushel or
| two at every dip and it is said that at
times they are so thick that a spear
lean he stuck into the water and several
tish taken in just as neatly as a fork
can Ik* run into a dish of pickles and
several of the pickles impaled.
Candle tish are so named because
i the' are so oily that a wick can be
I drawn through a dried one and the
corpse will burn as a candle. Kxeept
' for their oiliuess the fish have a tine
flavor and many people are very fond
I of them, but too many cannot be eaten
1 at one sitting because of the excess of
I oil.
These tish are peculiar to the Pacific
| coast. They also hear the nickname
of ••Hooligans.” They are allied to
! the smelt family and multiply and
swarm almost equal to herring. They
j are found all along the Pacific coast
as far down as Oregon. In summer
| their habitat is in the sea but in the
winter they run up the streams and in
I the spring spawn there.

ALBERT I. ADAMS DIES
Passes Away After Brief Illness of
Cerebral Meningitis
Albert 1. Adams died yesterday
morning in his room in the McNeiley
hotel of cerebral meningitis, after an
illness of about a week. The malady
was caused by an abscess in the left
ear which broke unexpectedly and
spread to the base of the brain, a con
dition necessarily fatal. He was un
conscious for nearly twenty-four hours
before death, but prior to that suffered
great pain.
Mr. Adams came to Seward from
Seattle early in December and at once
took the position of bookkeeper for
Brown & Hawkins, which was secured i
for him by his old friend, K. L. Whitte
more. The two had been county em
ployes together in Seattle for four years
from January 1893 to January 1897, Mr.
Adams in the auditor’s office and Mr.
Whittemore in the clerk’s office.
After going out with his party fol
lowing the politicial upheaval of 1890
Mr. Adams waselected secretary of the
l Seattle Athletic Club ar.d continued in
that position seven years. He then
held various positions in Seattle as an
expert bookkeeper and accountant.
Last fall he became seized with the
j fever which young Americans have for
invading new regions and wrote to Mr.
Whittemore of his wish to come to
| Seward with the result that a place
was quickly secured for him.
In Seattle Mr. Adams had a wide
acquaintance and many friends.through
| his connect ion with the Athletic Club
and in polit ics. He was what is known
! as u good mixer and had made numer
ous friends since coming to Seward.
He leaves a wife in Seattle, and his
mother resides in Livonia, New York.
