The daily morning Alaskan., 1902-09-16


 Marshal Soook and J. J. Burns ran dow Q l every clue yesterday, and before midnight had six men arrested. These include tho men known t. have been with the de- ceased, but none of them could bs Induced to talk lnlslllgIblY They wsre vsY much Intoxicated.
 An inquest W ,s held on the body of the victim. and the iurors who consisted Of Theodore Johnson. J. Bernard Moore Hugh clswsu. E. ]. Llddlcoa,, Thos. Kay and ], Nelson. found that the man had come to hls death from the effects Of Rn sx- plOslOn of dynamite which was on hls own person and which was exploded by the concusslon resulting from revolver shot the deceased had fired ai the fleeing form of Mr. Wallace. Two bullet holes were found h the riar Of the building lnI range with Mir. Wallace. This had much to do ln dstsrmlnlng the verdllt, though no shots were heard.
 The havoc wrought by the sxploslon ln the bank was something terrific. Evstv portion of the plAS,srlng on the walls and ceiling was blown to the floor, a great jlEEsd hols Is blown through the floor im- medlatelv h front of the ledger window where the man was sthndlngi much Of the lathlnE was tom from place and blg ugly hole extends ln the stairway. The rsvol- yer used by the dead msn was picked up Ia the building. lt was blown Into pieces. The barrel was removed from the rsmaln- der Of the gun. and lt was bent almost double and splli half way down from ths end. This and the eODdltlOn of tho hand Induced the conclusion that the dynamite had been exploded aecidsntlY. one piece Of unexplodsd dynamite was picked up on the opposite side of the room, from the place the explosion occurred. The furniture waS!pilsd up ln every direction.
 Mooey was SCat,srsd everywhere. That which Mr. Price had was picked up by Mr. Dillon and turned over to the bank smplOyes and most fl not all ths re- malnder was picked up, Some Of the bllls were badly torn and burned. lt Is not thOught'ths loss ln money will bs great, but lt Is feared that thsrs will bs heavy loss ln gold dust, sI5OO Of which was on hand.
 a. M. Lay, manag,r of the bank, was N whltehorse, and lt Is probable that saved hls llfe. Had be been Gt the bank and In his office To the front Of the build ing, the result would probably have been fatal. L. "A. De Gsx, who has been an accountant at the WhltehOrss bank, was coming ,ysr On the traln to relieve hr. Lly for fortnight, while the latter took a va cation, shooting, To the Interior.
 Immediately after the explosion, at the request of the officers of the law, Capt Summerall took possession of the premises, and kept the crowd away.
 Volunteers help to clear away the wreck. and today the bank will resume business at the old stand, as If nothing had taken place out of the ordinary.
 The building Is badly damagsd. The front was moved several Inches and the sides bulge out to an alarming extent
 The postofies looked as fl somsthlng had occurred there out of tho ordinary. The rack of boxes was blown from the wall and fell against both Mrs. Kendall, who was at the window. and E. R. St. y.rs,who was at his desk, and the plaster lng was blown off the llths. Mrs. Ken lalI was bruised slightly around the shoulders, but nothing seriously. The oostofies was lmmsdlatSly closed to allow of picking up the debris and asserting the mall over again.
 The force of the SxplOSlOn bTOks several windows In Chsalanksr'S store and also across the street
