His Body Found At An Early Hour This
Morning Alongside the W. P. & Y. R.
Track Near the 4-Mile Post—Motive For
Deed is Unknown
At about 11 o'clock today word
was brought to Skagway that the
body of a man w:is lying alongside
the W. 1'. & Y. R. track, near the
-1-mile post, and that death had
been caused by a bullet fired luto
ilie brain either by tho dead man
himself or some 0110 unknown. The
! informal ion was 'phoued dowu from
lho shops to Commissioner Martin
; Conway by \V. J. Mulvihill, train dis
patcher for the W. F. 4c Y. R. who
1 .id been told by Ed. Hestness, the
section foreman, who in turn had
gotten It is information Irom Eugin
eir Shearer, who went out on this
mornings train and saw the body
lying besido the track.
Commissioner Conway as soon as
ho w .is apprised of the tragedy sum
moned 0 jurymen and in company
with them and Dr. Gabie boarded a
iiand-cai and proceeded to where th
body was lying, and found it to be
« .at o. F. b. Moore, proprietor of
liio Ideal bakery, whos© place of
business is in the rear of the old
l'«o:ird (,i Trade saloon on Broad
ly, near Fifth.
Tiic body was lying some
lUisiuuce from the track be
si'if or. old tree stump, with a
j t>ul!et I'.olo iu the right temple,
j From the powder marks ou his
cm pie which showed around where
'the bullet entered and powder
I bums on his right hand it was
plainly a case of self-destruction,
j Alter an examination Dr. Gabie
■i :ted that death had ensued about
itwo hours previous to the arrival
j of the coroner, and must have been
instantaneous.
The v.e..pon with which the deed
! w.<s dc'.'t*, u 38 caliber revolver, was
I tound alongside the body with one
| of the chambers discharged.
The body was placed on the hand
car and brought down as far as the
shops, from which point it was tak
en to the mcrgue by Undertaker L.
I A. Hariison, where it now lies.
The news of her husband's death
■ was a severe shock to Mrs. Moore,
I who was busy at work in the bak
! cry when she was called to the tele
I phone by some one and Informed.
[ When Mrs. Moore came down town
j at about six o'clock, she left Mr.
Moort at their home with the un
derstanding that he was to come
down nt 9 and relieve her. When he
d«d nor. make an appearance she
i sent Kenneth Cassldy out around
I town to look him up, but without
j success, for reasons that are now
| appare-i It \\..s shortly a.tu ^oung
| Cassldy returned from Lis search
that the news of the finding of
I Moore's body was reported.
The reasons for the rash act are
• suppositious, although according to
:■ oung Cassidy, Moore must have had
tlio act In contemplation for quite
a tittle. The former says that he
was present whe.i the doce;isetl,
about two weeks ago, purchased the
weapon with which tho deed was
done from a stranger passing
through, at the time remarking that
he would probably find use for it
later.
Moore was seen between 8 and 0
o'clock this morning, by at least
two men, walking along the rail
road track north of town, and one
of these,' .Robert Browning, man
ager of the W. P. Y. R. gardens,
held a short conversation with him,
In which Mooro said he was not
feeling very good and was taking a
walk to see if it would not. help
him.
Mooro at the time of his death
was about 43 years old. lie has
been engaged in busiuess in Skag
way for very nearly a year, bavin;
come here from Carcross, whore ho
had been employed by the YV. P. £
Y. R. as cook at tho section house.
He was a man of jovial, genorou
and open-hearted disposition and
made many friends' here who wer<
shocked as well as deeply par.icd i<
Iwar of his sudden taking off.
Moore was a member in gcoil
standing of Camp Skagway N'o. 1.
Arctic Brotherhood, and Skagway
Aerie No. 25, Fraternal Order
Eagles.
Mrs. Moore is prostrated o\or the
tragic death of her husband.
The coroner's jury convened at
the court house at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, and after examining sev
eral witnesses returned a vrediet of
"suicldc."
