er Stolpe, captain of the gasboat Show
Me, Vernon G. Nelson and Jean Con
stantine: were one day last week
held to answer to the District Court
by Judge V. A. Paine, following a
hearing in the U .S. Commissioner’s
Court. Their bond was fixed at $2,
500 each ,the same amount at which
it was fixed following their arrest.
Ingvald Olsen, trap watchman, was
the main witness foi the Government
1 at the hearing. He told of the alleged
robbery and said that after taking the
fish the men gave him money which
he turned over to the cannery super
intendent, A. Dano. He identified the
defendants as the men who took the

VALDEZ YOUTH IS BADLY
INJURED BY EXPLOSION
Trefton, GromofT, a native boy of
about thirteen years of age, suffered
a serious injury last Friday when a
dynamite cap exploded in his left
hand tearing away a major part of the
hand and inflicting a deep woi | 1 in
! his abdomen, says the Valdez Miner,
j He was immediately rushed to the
hospital, where Dr. Buckley found the
member so badly torn that it was nec
essary to amputate the thumb at the
second joint, the first finger a short
distance below' the third joint and the
second finger at the third joint, leav
ing only the third and little finger
and a part of the palm of his hand. A
wround was also found in the abdomen,
probably an inch or more in dep.ii,
from which several pieces of clothing
was extracted, but no part of the met
al composing the cap could be found.
The patient is resting easily, and
unless infection sets in, has a ;)>od
chance of recovery.
As near as can be ascertained the
cap was found in a vacant house and
given to the little native boy by an
other boy, who held it in his hand and
touched a lighter match to it, with the
results ^bove stated.

that need attention will be gone over
and it is planned to extend the pres
ent permanent staked trails into sec
tions not already covered by perma
nent staked trails. Shelter cabins will
be constructed but the eKact points
have not as yet been determined.
WILL INSTALL ELECTRIC
SIREN FOR TOWN NOME
NOME—It is planned to install an
i electric siren at the Hammond Pow
! er Plant to be sounded daily at a morn
! ing, noon and evening hour. The time
will be regulated and kept as accu
rate as possible thru the courtesy of
the men of the local Radio Station. A
daily whistle of some sort is needed
and would soon become accepted a§
the official time everywhere within
! hearing distance of the siren. This
j would eliminate our present system of
each ship, firm, hotel and individual
trying to keep his own time with the
i result that no one knows within half
j an hour of the correct time because
| he got it from so-and-so. It may take
a little time to learn to distinguish
| the siren itself from the prompt and
co’. rect imitation which will r.o doubt
be given by the dogs. A second sir
en will be installed at Little Creek.
