Weather Today
ml
(by U.S. Weather Bureau)
Snow was falling at ob
servation time this morn
ing in southeastern Alaska
and St. Paul Island while
rain was recorded at Dutch
Harbor and Ketchikan.
These conditions resulted
from extensive low pres
sions covering most of the
north Pacific Ocean. An
other high pressure area is
charted central around Pt.
Barrow and will likely con
tinue temperatures well
below zero in central and
northern Alaska.
Fair weather and below
zero temperatures were the
rule along the Nome-Fair
banks airway and north
ward. Considerable ground
fog continues at Fairbanks
and over the Yukon Valley.
The lowes t temperature
at Nome last night was 19
and two tenths below zero
at 7:50 a.m., this being the
lowest so far this year.

Sets Fire Blanket
City Jail Attempt
Burn His Way Out
Paul Amarok, full blood
Eskimo, was reported to
the City Police by a citizen
as being drunk and disturb
ing the peace. The Police
arrested the offender about
IIP M.yesterday on Front
street, and confined him in
the City jail. A short time
later a strange noise from
the cell room led to an in
vestigation. The prisoner
had ignited a blanket and
placed it by the door, with
the apparent intent of burn
ing his way to freedom.The
smoke had him almost un
conscious.' If this had oc
curred at an early hour in
the morning the City’s new
lv constructed City Hall
might now be in ashes, ac
cording to information
from the Police Depart
ment.
1 his morning the onender
was taken before the Muni
cipal Magistrate and charg
ed by the City Attorney
with being drunk. On a
plea of guilty the Magis
trate asked the Chief of Po
lice for a statement of the
circumstances. A fine of
$30 was imposed which the
Magistrate stated would be
equivalent to the usual fine
and enough in addition to
reimburse the .City for the
blanket destroyed. The fine
was paid.
The offender stated in
open court that he had pur
chased the whiskey with
which he became drunk
from the NomeLiquor store
the store operated by Mr.
Sol Lewis and H.Green
berg, that he had had some
drinks prior to that and his
condition was such that he
could neither remember
from which individual in
the store he made the pur
chase, nor how much he
paid.
After the case was closed
the Chief of Police, CiJ.y
Attorney and the defendant
went to the Nome Liquor
Store, taking along the bot
tie (about 1 3 full) found
on the defendant’s person.
The label on the bottle was
of a brand on display in the
store, it was determin
ed. When questioned by
City Attorney Sullivan, Mr
Lewis admitted selling the
bottle to the defendant and
stated substantially, that
“he was just as sober as I
am now,” no further con
versation took place.
City officials stated that
the purpose of the visit to
the Nome Liquor Store
was to verify the truth of
defendant’s statement.
