POSTMASTER HAS DROPPED OUT
 EXISTENCE

Postmaster Melvin Dempsey. of Paxson, has been missing since Aug. ust "A, when he started from Paxson's for Slate Creek, and it is feared that he has met with an accident.
 Arthur McNeir, the mining operator and contractor, expected to meet Dempsey at Slate Creek, and failing in that came on over to Paxson's, but did not meet him enroute nor has he since been found. He reported the facts to Lieut.. Dougherty, of the Signal Corps at Valdez, who immediately took such steps as were in his power to aid in finding the missing prospector, and the operator is now with McNair hunting for Dempsey.
 Dempsey is the original finder of the Chisna mining camp, and the rush to his find resulted in the location of Slate creek. He Is full blooded Cherokee Indian, and has spent the last F years in this section.

He says in the com munication that, even if the fifteen thousand dollars allowed by the legis. lature from the road money forest fund is used without court contest, there will still not be enough.

some house in their respective neigh

AS soon as it was discovered that
the dynamite that had exploded
was consigned to the Russian gov
ernment, there was rumor started
about the city that German sym
pathizers had blown 1t up This was
distorted until there was report
current that arrests had been made,
and even that confessions had been
secured. But this proved all to be
without foundation, any further than
the general feeling that the explo-
sion was the result OF maliciousness.
ARRESTS EXPECTED.
1t was reported to the police this
afternoon that several suspicious
characters were seen lowering about
the barge when it was brought to
the waterfront before being taken
to its mooring out of town. The

established, it is stated, and arrests
are expected to be made In the hope
OF finding some clew to the crime.
If it is really the result OF criminal
work.
Powder experts who have been In
terviewed by the police today state
that in all probability the explosion
was the result of premediated
plot They explained that dynamite
will not explode when left to itself
as was the load on the barge. 1t
Is their opinion that il the explo-
sion was the result Of a premedi-
tated plot, large amount of fuse
must, with cap, have been used.
in order to let the men perpetrating
the crime get to safety before the
explosion.
The experts are quite positive
that the explosion would not have
occurred without the aid of dyna-
mite caps.
