Death came suddenly a few days
ago to William Carson Gordon, one of
• Anchorage’s best known and most
highly respected citizens. He was at
work at the East Side dairy, pitching
» hay in thai field, when his heart gave
way without warning, with the result
. • that he fell toj the ground dead. He
had gone to work at the usual hour
that morning and apparently was in
normal health

and had been identified with most of
the oldtime mining camps

instant death of two millmen Hector
Beaulac and. >a. .Mr. LaRochelle, both
, French Canadians Hector Beaulac
was well known in Dawson, having
mined for years on Dominion creek
with several brothers. Two of the
' Wimble hoys were also painfully in
jured, but not seriously, as was also
• . James Finnegan
It appears that two boilers were
situated side By side. Only one of
them blew up, but the force of the
* explosion was. so great as to hurl the
other boiler a considerable distance
through the mdl.
The cause of the explosion is given
as the attmpt to put cold watr into a
hot boiler.
It is also reported that the day pre
vious to the explosion the Kimble
brothers had the misfortune to lose
their entire boom of logs
