MANIAC
Crank Enters War Department
and Fires Shots
PromiscousIy.

WASHINGTON, March A. - Armed
with 80 caliber revolver, William ].
0'Brien, alias William Duffy, an in
sane discharged soldier, entered the
war department and, going to room
227 in the mail and record division,
shot Robert j. Manning, messenger,
and Arthur Wicker, a clerk.
Miss Emma Saxton, another clerk,
barely missed being shot through the
head. The injury to Manning was on
the right side just above the kidneys
and is regarded as dangerous. Wicker
was shot in the left arm above the ell
bow.
Before the maniac could fire a third
time he was overpowered by James j.
Dawson, a messenger. 1t required the
combined strength of half a dozen men
10 subdue him. Prominent among
these was Lieutenant General Adna
r. Chaffee, chief of STAFF.
The lunatic still held the smoking
weapon in his hand when General
Chaffee noticed 1t and with his left
hand on the mans throat took the
weapon from him and also the papers
in his pocket Majors Kean and Ire
land of the surgeon generals staff
were hastily sent for and gave the first
aid to the injured men before they
were taken TO the Emergency hospital.
O'Brien came to the war department
early in the day and hung around the
building for over an hour. He then
went upstairs and was escorted to the
mail and record division by Charles
Cannon, one Of the clerks. The man
was introduced to Charles Brandt,
chief Of the division, and expressed
dissatisfaction with his discharge pa
pers.
Then. without a word Of warning, he
drew the pistol from his pocket and
aimed it directly at Mr.. Brandts head.
Brandt ducked, and the bullet entered
the arm Of Mr. Wicker He then turn
ed the weapon on Miss Saxton and
fred. She. too. lodged and the bullet
struck Manning.
CONSERVATION prevailed in the de-
partment when the sound of the shots
was heard. Women rushed from the
rooms screaming and soon were joined
by a number Of male clerks. From ev-
cry quarter came army officers in uni
form. and a vast throng clogged the
corridor where O'Brlen was struggling
to break away from his captors The
man was taken 10 the police station,
II requiring four men TO get him out
Of the building.
O'Brien was arraigned in the police
court on the charge of assault with in
tent to kill and was promptly recon-
mitted TO the insane asylum. Manning,
the more seriously injured man Of the
two is at the Washington barracks
hospital

FELLOW
FARMERS!

This is great country. 1t
is our country. We make it
great. We must make it great
er by improving our land. We
can't raise potatoes, onions and
other dellcacies on rocks. We
must first raise the rocks. One
stick of DYNAMITE will do
the lifting of one hundred men
in the same space Of time. 1t
is economy to use it. DYNA-
MITE can be handled with
perfect safety. 1t is not work
but fun to use it. We touch
it off and get behind tree,
just as we used to fire the old
anvil on the glorious Fourth.
Griswold is the agent for this
section for " Atlas" Dynamite.
We sell it at the same price
you would pay at the factory,
by the single stick or by the
case. Time to use it when

WINS OUT
Dan Ross Gets Away With
 Seattle Money

Dan Ross, of the Dawson firm of Mur- ray & Ross, wholesale liquor dealers, we'll known in Skagwsy, has won SlO,- OOO from the Seattle pool rooms, and put some of the bookies out of business.
 Concerning the raid made by Ross, the Seattle Times says:
 "'Dan Ross, of Vancouver, has taken slO.OOO out of the Seattle pool rooms this week.
 That startling declaration was made by one of the biggest pool room owners in the city.
 "The plunging of Ross during the past week, it is said, is the talk of the half world. It has been no uncommon occurrence at all to see him walk into a pool room and shoot cool thousand dollars into the betting ring.
 And so far he has got away with it. In fact, so heavy has the play been dur ing the past few weeks, and 80 disas- trous, from the standpoint of the book ies, that local pOel rooms will in the near future quit selling pools on the San Francisco races"

The winter trail to Dawson is fast going to pieces. There is not a relay between Whitehorse and Lawson upon which some portions of the road is not bare of snow.
 Two stages will be sent out tomorrow, each with six horses attached, but it is doubtful if they get all the way through without having to transfer to wagons The next passengers and mail to leave whitehorse will probably go on wheels.
 The through passengers, who arrived on the City of Settle, will be the last to receive the benefit of the old through rate. From this time uutil the open ing of navigation the rate from White horse to Dawson will be Sl25.

Seattle Timesl

oNdAAAN n AAAANol
 Joseph H. Easterday, of Tacoma, a member of the state lesislature from the Thirty-seventh representative dis trict, has entered the field as candidate for the judicial appointment in Alaska which is being sought by Thomas J Humes. This information was brought from Tacoma yesterday by a we'll kuown Pierce County politician.
 Mir. Easterday has been more or less talked of as a possible asp'rant for one of the Alaska judgeships for several months. but up to the present time no public announcement has been made of his activity in that direction.
 Mir. Easterday in the last senatorial contest was a warm supporter of Sena- tor Ankeny, as were nearly all of the Pierce County members, and this fact shouldd give him a standing with that gentleman in this contest. Washington dispatches announce that Senator Ankeny has endorsed the application of ex Mayor Humes for the appointment, to succeed Judge Wickersham, while Senator Foster has endorsed Judge Wickersham for reappointment.
