Midnight Sun Order Plot Aimed to Seize Dawson Yukon
The Times reports from Victoria that an organized conspiracy sought to seize Dawson and seize the Northwest Mounted Police barracks with arms and loot banks and gold fields. James Seeley, ex-Seattle, now head of the Yukon secret service, says the plan could have held Dawson for weeks. The plot began in Dawson with a branch in Skagway and hoped for U.S. support from Seattle promoters. The Order of the Midnight Sun grew to hundreds by September before discovery.
