Canadian Bank of Com
 nerce at Skagway.
Unkn0wn Man Entered the Rank Witt 6 Stick 0f Dynanite and
 q --Ti.e Han Is Dead.

ESkagway, Sept l5.-At O clock this afternoon an unknown man walked into the Canadk n Bank of Commerce with q stick of dynamite in one hand ana d revolver in the other. Showing both at one of the men, he said: "Give me S20, G00 quick, or l will throw you all into elernity.' Clerks Wallace and Iooloy both tried to .prasp the gun, but the man, said: "Quick with the money.' pooley hid behind the safe, and Wallace jumped to the back room and out of the window. The map then threw the dynamite. The bank was totally wrecked. The desperado still lives, but will undoubtedly die. He was mangled terribly. John. G. Price, ,.an attorney in the bank. hat his face severely injured. Manager Lay is out of the city at Whitehorse.
 Skagway, Sept. l6.-Solders are nov in possession of the bank, guarding it. The concussion was so great that in the living rooms over the bank the furni- ture was all tumbled around. Mrs. Dr.. Tunnels WAS sewing ina rocking chair. She was thrown over backwards.
 The unknown man was short. Hi. fingers were blown off and hole was made in the left side of lhis stomach, He was burned badly. his neck and face being mass of flesh and blood, |, nd he is totally unrecognizable.
 Windows across the street were \ shed and the mnpay uov eaIi around the room. One side of the building is bulging out.
 The man had been around town since Saturday, and was believed to be in. sane. He was taken to Bishop Rowe hospital.
 The unknown man who .dynamited the bank yesterday died at y4:30, with out regaining consciousness. The mar shal, acting on every possible clue. ar rested six men before midnight who had been seen in the company of the bank robber. They were all more or less intoxicated.
 This morning two of them were put through the sweatbox, but nothing is revealed yet connecting them with the crime. Half of the city believes the man was insane, the other half that he had accomplices.
 The inquest last night brought out the fact that the possible dynamiter fired two shots al Wallace. One oi these caused she dynamite, which it is believed was mixed with nitro-glycer- inc, to explode. Two bullet holes were found on the side of the building.

 "The pumping building rests on a bed of concrete, which is built upon a foundation of ice and frozen gravel. In order to prevent heat from the fires and machinery from thawing the ice and thus unsettling the building, air passages are constructed through the concrete. ventilalipg it thoroughly.

THEY ARE ENTERTAINED.
Two Delightful Parties Given in Honor
of Supf, and Mrs. Hambrccht.


The Woman's club rendered to Supt.
and Mrs. Geo. p Hambrecht on last
Friday a most delightful reception.
The club was entertained by Judge
and Mrs. j. A. Gaynor at their resi-
dence on High street.
The rooms were beautifully
decorated with roses and carnations
and the tea-tables were further
decorated with wax candles under
pink shades. There were about fifty
guests in attendance, including the
Woman's club and their guests, and
a most enjoyable evening was spent
by all.
The reception committee consisted
of Supt. and Mrs. Hambrecht, Judge
and Mrs. Gaynor, and Mr. and Mrs.
John E. DAILY.
The guests were first treated to a
guessing contest to determinate ''who
they were"' A piece of paper upon
which was written name of some
famous parsonage having been pinned
to the back of each one. and every
guest was expected to determine
his own identity by the remarks about
him "behind his back" so to speak
In this pleasing manner the stiffness.
if any, of the first part Of the evening
was dissipated by the witty, bright
and laughable remarks made until
each was sure of his own identity.
After this. small tables were drawn
into the parlorS by Swift-footed at
PENDANTS and a game of progressive
games" were introduced.
The variety of games were really
remarkable and did great credit to
the hostess ingenuity in collecting
them. They ranged from dominOS to
football and included the just now
famous ping-pong, fishing pond, Jack
StrawS and many others. At the close
of the contest most charming supper
was served and the evening closed
with the presentation of prizes to the
winners of the game contest. Mrs
Hambrecht won the ladies' prize.
which was a beautiful cut-glasS vase,
and the gentlemen's prize, silver

DR.. Harvie.
| COlcOrd's mandolin orchestra dis
cOurSed sweet music during the entire
evening. Altogether it was one of the
brilliant social events of the season.
A surprise party, which was q
genuine surprise, was given for Supt
and Mrs. Geo. P. Hambrecht by the
ladies of the ST. Catherine guild lasl
| Wednesday. The afternoon was the
one set apart for the regular guile
meeting and was the last Mrs. Ham
brecht would be able to attend before
her departure. The ladies assembled
as usual, each one bearing a more OF
less suspicious looking bundle, which
were all deposited in the guild hall.
At O'Clock the company were re
quested to walk down to the dining
room where gOodly repast was
spread. Mrs. Hambrecht was Informed
that she WAS to be the ''gueSt O.
honor. After the supper was ended
the president of the guild presented
to Mrs. Hambrecht a beautiful cut
glass salad bowl in the name of the
ladies of the guild.

A DEPARTMENT STORE.
L. Harris to BrNneH Out in Regular City
SiyIe.

L. Harris to BraneH Out in Regular City
Style.
l.. Harris will soon start work taking
out the partition il Lis store building
so as to leave an open space from the
front TO the rear door of his mammoth
store building His purpose in this
move is to make room for the several
additional departments which he in
tends to add to his business. In short
he intends to make regular city
department store out of the one that he
is now the proprietor Of.
He will carry everything that can he
found in any department store in the
country excepting groceries and pro-
visions. With those ne will not meddle.
His special lines will. in addition
to the lines that he is now carrying,
be crockery, tinware and house fur
nishing goods. In the house furnish
ing line he will be the man who can
furnish your house from cellar to gar
ret and furnish you a suit Of clothes to
get married in in addition.
1t may not be amiss TO call the at
tention of our readers TO the busin
progress that this gentleman has made
since he came TO this city four years
ago. He started in a modest way in
the store building now operated by
Myer Savlan. His stock was limited I;
yes very limited. In order to make il
look commensurate with the size or
the room in which he was transacting
business he put partition across the
room very close to the front He wds
a success. His trade increased ana his
stock grew to larger dimensions. By
an-by he moved the partition back a
little way as he needed more room.
Still mis- trade increased and the par
tition was set back another notch.
Soon the partition was taken out al
together and the whole building was
utilized for his business. After time
the building became too small for his
increasing stock and he moved into
the large building which he now oc-
cupies. Many thought that he was
foolish when he moved into so large a
building but time has told the tale.
Mr.. Harris knew what he was doing
when he moved and now he caps the
sheaf by opening mp reguar depart
ment store

BvT ANOTHER YEAR.
End Of Business on Holmes Lossins Road
Expected Next Year.

A. Robbins was up from Pembins
over Sunday visiting with his family.
Mr.. Robbins gives all OF his attention
to the Holmes logging road and, in
conversation with reporter tor The
Diamond Drill stated that, unless
additional timber shonld be- secured by
the compnies for which the Holmes
people are logging or by the gentlemen
themselves. another year will see the
end of work on this great logging road.
In reply to our question as to the re-
liability of the report.going the rounds
that the road will likely pass into
the hands of some railroad concern
and form part of ~ system through to
st. Paul and Minneapolis Mr.. Robbins
said he knew nothing Of any such in
tention on the part of the road ownerA
and he could not SEQ what road would
care for the grade unless the Milwaukes
shuold take il in order to get at and
haul some timber which the Sawyer
Goodmen company has in the locality.
This concern has 100, 900 feet of stand
ing pine in that district and, when they
are ready to cut it, ii will be hauuled
on cars to Menominee. The Holmes
road can be utilized very nicely in get
ting at this large buuch Of pine,
