the President, in reference to the sink

Americans lost their lives.
The note, which is a reply to the
note from Secretary Lansing, in sub

The President will call a meeting of
the cabinet to discuss further action
in the matter.

DETAILS TRAGEDY
HEAR EAR LAKE
Insane Russian Runs A
niuck and Kills Four
FANCIED GREIVANCE
APPARENTLY GOGAWW SHOT ONE
MAN NINE TIMES
(From the Skagway Alaskan)
From later accounts of the tragedy
just furnished ns through the kind
ness of the officials of the W. P. &
Y. 1?., we are enabled to supply the
following, which would seem to clearly
prove that the entire affair was cold
blooded and deliberately planned mur
der, probably for some fancied griev
ance while the murderer was employed
on the section:
sTliF men had stopped for lunch on
the curved fill north of Ear Lake,
where the descent is a little deeper
to the lake on the west than it is on
the opposite, or river side, of the
track toward the east, and close to a
cut for a sidetrack which joins the
main line there. They had built a
small fire and from Wilkin’s account
had just finished their lunch, when
the murderous assault was made. It
is probable that Cook was the first
man shot as the bodies were found at
fsome distance from the camp, as
though they had made a desperate ef
fort to save their lives by flight.
The body of -jKinglow was about
200 feet south from where the men
had eaten their lunch and 100 feet to
the east of the railroad track on an
old M. ,1. Honey construction road.
There were several bullet holes In the
body, one of which was in the head
and was doubtless the cause of his
death. He had a handkerchief tied
around one of liis legs where he had
been wounded near the knee, and it is
evident from all circumstances that
Goggaff had followed him up after
finishing his companions and .finding
him hiding behind a clump of bushes
had deliberately completed his work.
Conk was found close to the fire
with his head lying on a railroad tie,
ami when he heard the handcar com
ing held up his hand, ns a signal that
he was alive.
Bokonich, the Austrian, had gotten
about fifty feet from the camp and
part way up the west bank of the cut
of the sidetrack, when he was brought
down.
Gcorgo Lane was fifty feet away
On the river side of the track, and in
addition to having the top of his head
blown off had a wound in one of his
legs.
After killing the men C.ogaff must
have examined each body, for in his
statement at the W. P. & Y. R. offices
yesterday lie told his hearers where
lie had hit each of his victims with
his rifle.
Gogaff, wheu he started for White
horse took the handcar belonging t»
