| Summary: | Riot Threatens Valdez RIOT THREATENS VALDEZ. Receiver Probable for Half of the Seattle, Wash., Oct. 22.—Cable advices received here by local Alaskans are to the effect that instead of the situation due to the failure of the Reynolds bank beinc cleared up, complications have so thickened at ValJez that there is danger of a riot, and the destruction of property. No money has been received at Valdez for the payment of the 600 employes of the Alaska-Nome railway, who are without means to secure food and shelter, and the Reynolds Alaska Development company affairs have become so complicated that it is expected half the town will have to pass through the hands of a receiver.
