Ia the manner described.
A number Of those who had known
the mate in life called at the Bonny-
Watson morgue yesterday. These re-
cailed Jacobson's disappearance about
January !. They identified the corpse
AZ his by tattoo marks and by general
appearance. Some of these recalled the
fact that the man had drawn 5000 from
the Louvre saloon last November. The
deposit slip for this amount was found
IN one OF the pockets when Deputy
Coroner Harry Aarnold picked up the
body.
This money Jacobson had earned
while mate on The shelikoff last sum-
mer during that crafts cruises be-
tween Dutch Harbor and Valdez. He
spent IL during the winter. During
this time he was studying to take the
examination to get masters papers.
He had spent most Of his money and
was, 10 some extent frequentIng certain
downtown saloons, He changed his
uptown rooming place for one In the
main part Of the city.
About this time plan was formed to
shanghai Jacobson. He had some
money. but had been unsuccessful In
his examination. He was badly want
ed during the first week In January
aboard schooner, then short of off,
GERS. He seemed averse to taking the
berth. For some reason there was
strong anxiety to get Jacobson to ship.
Finally plan was laid to get him
drunk and TO take him aboard in this
condition.
The plan is said to have been carried
out. But the mute evidence Of Jacob

throat and bound lacerated wrists, goes
TO show that II did not work as had
been hoped. Since the night when he
was to have been taken away he dis
appeared as completely as though the
earth had swallowed him.
When drunk the man evidently
fought. He strained at the cloths that
were tied about his hands, and the
plaes where he tore his wrists and beat
the skin off from his fingers are still
plainly visible on the body.
1t is believed that some Of the men
in the boat during the desperate strug-
Gle with Jacobson, being themselves
maddened with whisky, cut his throat
and threw him overheard. Corrobor-

enough now in the bins, combined with
the new crop, to supply the demands of
the coming season. Indications point to a
slow market for milling wheat, until the
old crop is used up.
