Mackie. for more than twenty years one of the most highly respected and trusted employees Of the Treadwell Co. had succumbed 10 a stroke Of paralysis shortly before 3:30 o'clock.
 Mir. Mackie had been ailing for nearly four weeks with what he be- lieved to be an attack of rheuma- tism but was feeling considerably better during the last week. Only yesterday morning he made the re- mark to one of his friends that he expected to return Co work within a few days. Mrs Mackie had gone to the store on an errand and on her return shortly after found her husband lying on the flour, with a pillow he had managed to reach. un- der his head. Although conscious he was very weak and seemed Co real ize that he was failing rapidly.
 The company doctors were sum. moned immediately but despite every human effort to resuscitate the fail ing man. the Angel of Death arrived shortly after.
 Al the time of his death. Mir. Mae kie was employed as watchman at the club, having been forced, on ac- count of poor health, to resign the more strenuous work which he had been following at the Treadwell ma chine shop.
 Funeral services for the deceased will be held under the auspices Of the Odd Fellows lodge. of which order Mir. Mackie was a member. at ? o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the Congregational church. in Doug las. after which interment will fol- low in the odd Fellows cemetery.
 Flags are at halfstaff on the bus mess houses of Douglas and on the Labor Union hall out of respect to the deceased and sympathy which words cannot express to the living who bemoan the loss of husband and father.
 W. A. Mache was born in Sagi- naw. Mich, g years ago, more than a third of his life being spent on Douglas Island. Mir Mackie came to the north from California during the rush of '97 and was for several years empolyed at steward of the Treadwell mess house. Later he fill- ed the position now occupied by D. J. Kinzie. as head of the employ ment office. In all capacities. the deceased acquitted himself as ca babel and earnest servant of the company for which he labored and by whom his loss will be deeply re. gretted.
 Mir. Mackie is survived by wife and two children. Edward Mackie, employed at the Alaska-Juneau mill and Mrs. Roy James of Douglas. Both son and daughter grew to manhood and womanhood on the Isl. and where they received their edu. cation in the public schools.
