DYNAMITE IS
 EXPLODED IN
 DOUGLAS TOWN
BeathouSe~a and Gas Boat Belonging to Prospect or Is Totally De-

DOUGLAS, Jan. "A dynamite outrage was committed here this morning, presumably about 2:3o o'clock, when the boat house and launch, Georgia M," both the prop erty of John McWilliams, were blown to pieces on the beach near the COW barns in the northern part of Douglas.
 The report of the explosion was heard by various people in Douglas but as it was in the direction of the Alaska Juneau mine it was supposed by them to have come from there. McWilliams was at his home and did not know of the affair until this morning.
 As evidence that a heavy charge of dynamite was exploded, portion of the wreckage was hanging on a telephone wire several yards away from where the building was located.
 John McWilliams is one of the
