MURDER AND SUICIDE
IN LAKE REGION
Jack DOnOhue Kills His NeighbOr, Jack
Powers, and Ends Own Life When
About to Be Arrested.

/ With the suicide on Wednesday
of Jack Donohue, who almost blew
bis head off with a shotgun when
about to be captured by a sheriff s
posse. the final chapter in a double
tragedy a short distance from Man
itowish was enacted.
Jack Donohue occupied a cottage
adjoining hat of Jack Powers and
his wife Or Big Lake i'll Villas
county and eighteen miles from
Manitowish. On the night of
January IS, according TO the story
of Mrs. Powers, her husband went
to visit Donohue at his cottage as
be had often done before. He did
not return. After midnight Mrs
Powers was aroused by noise at
the door of her cottage and upon
opening the door faced Donohue,
who said that he came to inform
her that he had killed her husband
| by hitting him on the head with
an AK. Mrs. Powers was kept
prisoner in her cottage by Donohue
for eight days and nights, but
finally made her escape and Motif
ed the authorities. She went to
Manitowish aud stayed with
friends.
A posse was organized at Man
itowish aud reinforced by Sheriff ?.
]. Gaffney of Eagle River and his
deputies they went to Big Lake to
get the murderer. The trip TO the
scene of the murder had to be made
by means of snow shoes. The posse
arrived at dig Lake Wednesday
morning and surrounded the colt
age in which Donohue had barricad-
ed himself. 1t is said that shots
were exchanged during the day,
Donohue shooting at the deputies
from a window of his cottage. In
the afternoon the firing from
Donohue s cottage ceased and when
Sheriff Gaffney and forces entered
the cottage they found Donohue
dead, he having shot himself rather
than submit TO arrest. 1t is said
that note was found pinned to
Donohue's coat which said i kill
ed Powers and am glad of it. "
In an adjoining cottage the body
of Powers was found, his head
having been crushed with an ak.
The remains of the two men were
taken to Manitowish and from
there to Eagle River, the county
seat of Villas county, pending an
inquest.
No motive for the crime has
been discovered, although 1t is
presumed that Powers and Donohue
quarreled. They had been neigh
bors and had worked together for
several years. Powers conducted
a resort on Big Lake His former
home was at Escanaba, Mich, to
which place the body will be taken
for burial.

Tuesday evening that the Cary
would resume operations, saying
that while no definite time had
been set it was believed that a
large crew would be at work in a
few days Last week a delegation
of miners from the Cary location
marched to the CITY hall and de
manded of Mayor Lennon that
something be done to give them
employment or else provide them
with the necessities of life. Mr..
Lennon got into communication
with Supt. Hardenburgh of the
Cary mine to as certain if possible
when the mine would again be
started and Mr.. Hardenburgh in
formed him that he would take the
matter up with the officials at
Cleveland. 1t is believed that the
action of the officials in ordering
resumption of operations at the
Cary mine was influenced by a
desire to assist in relieving the
situation brought about by lack of
employment.
1t was certainly a bit of good
news to hear that this important
factor in the city's industrial life
would again start producing.
