Joseph Blabon, father Of j. w. Blabon,
general Western traffic manager OF the
Great Northern railway. was drowned In
a drainage canal near Fir. Skagit county,
Sunday afternoon, while duck hunting. No
one was with Mr.. Blabon at the time OF
the accident. and exactly how 1t occurred
Is unknown.
Saturday morning Mr.. Blabon, accompa-
MED by ID. A. Robinson and ID. w. Taylor,
both of this city, left for the Skagit fats
on a duck-hunting trip. They arrived at
Fir Saturday afternoon, and Sunday COM
menced the hunt.
Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock Mr..
Robinson and Mr.. Taylor separated from
Mr.. Blabon and left him on a stand on
the dixie of drainage canal. They were
gone about three-quarters OF an hour.
When they returned he was not in sight.
Mr.. Taylor walked along the dixie short
distance and found the missing mans
knife. A short distance farther they found
his gun sticking stock upward in the canal.
This alarmed them, and they searched the
canal for his body. finding 1t near where
they had discovered the gun. The body
was lying face downward.
The superstition Is that Mr.. Blabon. In
walking along the dixie, slipped, and fell
headlong into the canal. The water was
less than two feet deep where the body
was discovered, but 1t is supposed that

cartridges. and falling head first. Mr.. Bla-
bon was unable to get out
Yesterday morning, when news Of the
accident was brought to this city. j. w.
Blabon, son Of the deceased; r. C. Stevens,
local passenger agent. and Judge Thomas
Burke. counsel for the Great Northern,
left for Fir and brought the body to this
city last evening.
Mr.. Blabon was a few days over 70 years
ofsage at the time of his death. He was q
native of Maine, and for many years was
a member of the firm of Deering, Milliken
& Co., OF Portland, Me. When the civil
war broke out this firm extended It's bust
ness to New York city and secured large
contracts from the United States govern
ment in furnishing army supplies OF cloth
ing.
Mr.. Blabon withdrew from this firm in
1870 and engaged in other business enter
prises. In 1880 he retired from business,
having amassed a comfortable fortune.
Since his retirement most of his life was
spent in the state of Maine, until the pres
ent winter, when he came to this city to
reside with his son. He lived here at the
Kitchen residence. on Lake Washington.
Mr.. Blabon had been married twice, his
first wife being the mother of j. w. Bla-
bon. His second wife survives him. but
son younger than J. w. died several years
ago. The deceased has many relatives liv-
ing iE Maine.
The news of Mr.. Blabon's death came as
q great shock to the friends he had made
during his short residence in this city. To
the family the news was SO incredible as
at first not to be believed. When 1t was
confirmed Mrs. Blabon was Frustrated by
the shock.
Funeral arrangements have not vet been
made.

The Stuart King, of Scotland.

To be king of Scotland for many
lay implied that the monarch assembled
IN childhood, and came to an I'M
natural death while in the prime OF
life. Thus James I. assembled the
throne when he was II, and was muir
dered. James II. was Z, James III. 8,
James ". Is, and all were killed-the
last two In battle. James " was only
l6 months old when he became king,
and his daughter, Mary Queen of Scots,
was s days old when she came into
that hard heritage. She was widow
at 10, she married Darnley when he
was not yet 25, Indicating few weeks
after she tad married for the third
time. He. son, James W., thus be-
came king when he was 10 months old.
