holes were members of prominent
Hack Bay families in Boston before
they her,ime bad men of tile North,
while “The Daily That's Known as

in a recent issue of the Seattle Post
Intelligencer
These are the inside facts con

sy fate. He related the homicidal
particulars some time later to Hub
ert W. Service, then a bank clerk at
Whitehorse, with the result that Ser
vice's epic of the North, “The Shoot
ing of Dan McGrew." was written
soon after
How It Happened
“I happened into one of the leading
saloons and gambling Joints in .In
neau in 1897 at the beginning of
the Klondike rush. Dan McGrew. one
of the most iprominent gamblers of
the camp, was dealing faro, while
Loo watched the game as his 'cap
per.' The door opened and a tall
Btranger, with matted beard and bare
at the throat, came in the door, lie
was a striking figure of a man.
He laid a poke of gold dust on the
bar and, nfier the custom of the
country, invited everyone up and
have a drink. Dan, as if bored with
•mini, but unwilling to Rive offense,
,vas the last up to the bar.
The stranger ordered a second
•omul of drinks. Then he spied the
piano. The "Rag Time Kid" was hav
ing a drink with the bartender at
the end of the bar, so the stranger
took his place at the keys. At the
first touch of the keys, I knew he
was a master of melody. The rattle
if chips ceased and he held the
crowd spell bound. He ran the gamut
from the classics to rag and ended
with wild and crashing Russian over
ture.
Springing up from his stool, he
faced th ■ crowd and said: "There's
a dirty Itonnd from hell in this
crowd and I came hare tonight to kill
him 1 tie looked squarely into the
eves of Dan Mc.Qrew. Dan. saying
not a word, accepted the gage of
battle and drew dtis revolver.
Ttie bartender, accustomed to gun
play, Mimed out thp lights. When
they were turned on again Dan was
dead with two bullets through the
(heart; the stranger was in his
j death throes. I recalled later that l
' saw Ijou taking the poke of gold dust
I from the stranger's pockets Just as
Ithe lights flashed on.
