SMD RESIDENT IS
KILLED HI PUT
Mr. Tallack Tallason. for the past
ten years a resident of Seward, died
last evening ait the family home in
this eitv from injuries received yes
terday afternoon about 3:30 o’clock,
while at work in the engine room of
the San Juan Fishing & Packing Com
pany's cold storage plant.
At the time of the accident Mr. Tal
lasen was alone in the engine room,
but was discovered shortly after i<
happened. According to the best in
formation obtainable Mr. Tallason was
oiling a bearing on the main shaft
ing, standing on a ladder to do so
The supposition is that the ladder
slipped and he grabbed hold of the
shaft to keep from falling. A set
screw on <he shaft caught hold of his
clothing and within the space of a few
seconds he was being whirled to his
death. The first intimation to be had
that he was in danger was when the
carpenter of the plant, who a few min
utes before had left the engine room,
heard a cry of distress, followed by
several loud thumps, and hvter a fa 11
as though a heavy body had struck
the floor. Calling to Foreman Nicho
lich and hastening to the engineroom,
Mr. Tallason was found lying on the
floor, bleeding profusely from the
many wounds caused by his legs and
body striking a huge timber above the
shafting and also from an ugly gash
in the back of his head. With the ex_
ception of portions of his garments
from the shins down his body was
stripped of clothing. His lower limbs
were practically beaten to a pulp and
nearly all his ribs were broken. The
shinbones were protruding through the
flesh in many places.
I)r. Baughman was hastily sum
moned and the injured man taken to
his home, where death occurred short
ly after half past five o’clock. Nurse j
Perry, who was in attendance, made a
heroic fight to prolong life by artifi
cial respiration but all efforts were
unavailing, Mr. Tallason passing away
quietly.
The deceased was born in Norway
on March 3, 1366. At an early age he
came to the United States and on
reaching manhood's estate for a time
followed a seafaring life About thirty
years ago he came to Alaska, leaving
later for the states. At a later period
he went to Nome, where he was mar
ried to Miss Severein Evanson, in
1901. On May 6, ten years ago, hr
moved to Seward, which place he
made his home. Prior to his arrival
at Nome he served in the Spanish
American war, and was at Manila
when Admiral Dewey captured that
city. His residence in Alaska for the
past twenty years has been continu
ous. Surviving him in addition to a
devoted wife, are three daughters,
Helen Marie (Mrs. John Slavin), liv
ing at Elva, Tennessee; Thelma Se
verien and Myrtle Fern, both of whom
are living at Seward.
Mr. Tallason was a member of Sew
ard Lodge, Loyal Order of Moose, and
he w'ill be buried under the auspices
of that order, interment being made'
in the Seward cemetery. Funeral
services will be held tomorrow after
; noon at the Undertaking Chapel at
j 2:00 o’clock.
The funeral will be attended b.>
members of the Loyal Order of Moose,
Spanish-American war veterans; and
I ex-sex vice men, aim menus ui me
1 family, all of whom are requested to
i attend.
LAUNCHED TODAY
The latest addition to the Seward
mosquito fleet, the Orma, was launch
ed today at high tide. The launching
ceremonies were superintended by
Admiral Howard Long. After the ini
tial tryout the craft will be placed in
commission and used for transporting
hunting and pleasure parties around
the waters adjacent to Seward.
Chief Titus and his three children
were burned to death at the Salcha
Indian village early last Sunday morn
ing, while they were sleeping in their
cabin. The wife of the chief was at
work in a nearby cabin, and attempt
ed to rescue the unfortunates but ow
ing to the headway of the fire was un
able to do anything. As a direct re
sult of the fire three white men, Fred
Clinton, John Plaudit and John Axton
were airested, it being alleged that
the chief had been acting as their
agent and had ovei’indulged in stimu
lants, which pi’evented him from be j
ing saved at the time of the fire. An
outfit with 350 gallons of mash and 15 j
gallons of liquor was discovered in
the men’s possession.

Harry I. Staser of Anchorage was
officially named deputy marshal for

Staser succeeds Clarence Mossman,
who has been deputy at Anchorage
since the town first started. Mr. Sta
ser has been employed by the Engi
neering commission, and' also repre
sented the Third division as repre

Mr. Mossman, the retiring deputy,
was an appointee of Marshal F. R.
Brenneman. He is one of the most
fearless and conscientious officials
of the Third division, and it is with
deep regret that the Gateway chroni
cles his retirement.

HUPP! WOMEN
PLENTY OF THEM IN SEWARD,
AND GOOD REASON FOR IT
Wouldn’t any woman be happy,
After years of backache suffering,
Days of misery, nights of unrest.
The distress of urinary troubles.
When she finds freedom.
Many readers will profit by the fol-1
lowing:
Mrs. J. Malone, 2529 Kulshan St., j
Bellingham, Wash., says: “I can hard
ly describe the misery which I endur
ed from backache. When I washed,
it felt as though my back were break
ing in two and terrible pains struck
me in the small of my back and near
ly doubled me up. My kidneys acted
too often and my feet bloated badly.
I heard about Doan’s Kidney Pills and
two boxes drove the pain out of my
back and regulated my kidneys.’’
