SEWARD MAN GETS PATENT ON
FIRE APPLIANCES.
A. A. Hein received word on the.
last mall to the effect that he had
been awarded a patent by the United
States patent office on an improve
ment made on his first invention of a
combination fire alarm and automatic
fire hose. The original was invented
in 1911. The apparatus consists of
a hose reel and hose, which when
pulled out to its entire length auto
matically turns on the water and at
the same time seta in action the fire,
alarms about the building and an
alarm at the fire Rtatlon. Each hose
is numbered, and when the alarm is
registered at the station a pointer
turns to a corresponding numeral on
a dial and the fire apparatus and men
nroceed forthwith.
The invention has been tested in
Seattle and found entirely satisfac
tory. and is being used by several
business houses in that city. The ap
paratus as first made in 1911 weighed
nearly 65 pounds, whereas the new
and improved apparatus weighs but
29 pounds.—Gateway.

who run amuck with a knife at the
home of Mike Zharoff, is In the Valdez
jail, and Mike Zharoff and his da ugh
ter Mary are under the care of a pliy
sh ian, suffering from severe knife
wounds.
It appears that Rankin, who is a
distant relative of Zharoff and had
hoen a frequent caller at the home,
called there while under the
influence of whisky, and despite the
protests of the woman he continued
to get still further under the Influ
ence of liquor.
Becoming quarrelsome, he Insulted
Mary Zharoff and received n slap in
the face, which turned him for the
time being into a wild beast with the
desire to kill or maim all who came
within his reach. Drawing his pocket
knife he slashed the girl across the
left arm, making a deep and ugly
wound. The girl’s cries brought her
father and brother George to her as
sistance. when Rankin turned upo_
them with the knife, cutting Zharoff
in the right shoulder. Tie struck with
full force, and the blade sank to the
depth of two inches into the flesh,
but fortunately did not touch a vital
spot. In attempting to save his fa
ther George had grabbed Rankin's
hand and received a slight cut in the
palm of his right hand.

door, but was scared away when

of warning him. He continued to ter

until U. S. Deputy Marshal Mossman.
who had been summoned by the
neighbors, arrived and took him in
charge.
The knife with which the cutting
was done is an ordinary pocket knife,
the blade of which had been worn to
a thin strip of steel with an edge like
a razor.
