What killed John McAlpine?

The millionaire lumberman, in his basement, with a handgun. It sounds like something out of the board game Clue, but the mysterious death of John McAlpine was all too real. 

In our first ever multi-part series, Attracted to Duluth explores the 1913 death of a wealthy Duluthian. Though widely reported on at the time, this story has largely been lost to time.
