SEATTLE, August &.-An attempt
was made last night to aSsasSinate j.
NJ. Jarvis, timber Inspector for the
Alaskan railroad Commission, by two
unidentified men who put dynamite
under his home, Oh West SlXueIn
street The bomb exploded and por-
ton of the house was badly damaged
but Jarvis who was the only occupant
of the house was uninjured. The two
men were seen to leave the vicinity
in an automobile at high speed before
the explosive went off. The motive
for the outrage cannot be determined
but it is known that Jarvis for the
past few days has been assisting in
the employment of men for the gov
ernment railroad in Alaska and it is
also known that he elected a man
from his office yesterday morning.
This is the only clue SO far.
