one and eight o'clock this morning.
Clyde B. GuptU, the city agent for
the Alaska Steamship Company, is at
the White Pass Hospital.
When Lionel E. Berriman. Mr Gup

this morning, and upon his entrance
to the rear room of the building where
Mr. Guptill lives, he w%* confronted
with the prostrate form of Mr Gupti I
lying In a pool of Wood.
Mr. Berriman at once telephoned
to Town Marshal Page. and in iwn
pany with Matthew Sundeen, the mar
shal at once went to the office, re
alizing from the tones of Mr. Berri
jii&n's voice that he wns> greatly ex

They found Mr. tiuptij) lying near
the bark door unconscious, in a pool
of blood, with his clothing saturated
*ith blood. and his skull badly crn>h

l>r. Gabie was at once notified, and
a number of the friends of the tin- ,
conscious man gently raised him np
and he was at once taken to the hos

sknll had be?en crushed in with soni"
bhint Instrument, presumably an ax.
and that he had been struck several
t? rrific blows. The first blow struck
smashed the jrtiff hat Mr. Guptill was

in the skull, which must have been
followed quickly by a secoml blow
over the left eye. which also crushed
the sknll. and then a third bio* f 11
on the proot rate man. breaking his
nose, and the fourth was evidently
made with the flat side of the ax. on
Uh> head.
At first it was thought that d?*th
would immediately follow, but that
there might be a oh a no ? of saving
Mr. (Juptil's life by operating on the
fractured skull and removing parts
of the bone which was pressing on
th? brain. However, before this was
done, 4>rs. tJahie and Bra wand s'nt

the rear room that the body, when
found, was lying He was on his
bavk and had evidently tried to

scious. Immediately within the sec
ond roroi from the rear, and in the
doorway was a preat pool of btood.
r .?! it was here '.hat the first blow
was ?*ruck. for the casing about the
door was all bloody where Guptlll ha
tried to rais-P himself up. There w*s
