Charged with assault with a dan
gerous weapon on his wife, Walter
Hi. Ross, Tebinlcoc Island fox
rancher, was bound over to the fed
eral grand jury after a preliminary
hearing before Judge Fox, in the
United States commissioner’s coifrt
nt Juneau, in March. Bond was fixed
m the sum of $2,000, which Ross was
unable to furnish.
Mr. and Mrs. Rosa and their l.‘i
year-old daughter, Charlotte, went to
Juneau from their ranch. While 3top
pj.-.j; at a hot*! R< rs, it is alleged, at
! tacked Mrs. Kozs with a long-bladed
pocket knife and. but for the inter
ference of the daughter, might have
seriously injured her.
At the. bearing Mrs. Ross and t! «
little girl testified that Ross had
i.eiiea his wife oy her hair and pulled
her head back, menacing her wi .h a
* knife. The girl had kicked one of his
legs, throwing him oc balance bala.i e
and giving the woman a chance to
escape. The girl also took down «ne
eeceiver of the house telephone and
‘ fcreamed fr aid. When it came Rots

Ross, testifying i nhis own behalf,
denied tfaat. he had attacked hs wfe.
lie said ne-had had an argument with
her, but that was all.
Through the personal interest of
Marshal. Lynn Smith, Charles Yehle,
long-time, resident of the interior of
Alaska, found a portion of the rain
bow’s end a few days ago, says the
Fairbanks .News-Miner.
Yehle, who has a small home and
ggrden across the river at Fairbanks,
and who has heen receiving Terri
torial support, once told the marshal
that yean ago. he had bought a life
insurance . pplicy. When friends told
hm that insurance was worthless he
stopped annual payment, which he
had maintained for seven years.
When his cabin in the Koyukuk
burned, some years, later the policy
was destroyed and he then became
sure in . his belief that his investment
was lost to him.
While .Marshal Smith was in Seat
tle recently: he. visited the office of the
North American Life Insurance
Company,-Mated the case of Pioneer
Yehle, ,and>. was informed that the
company had been seeking him for
tan years. The marshal came away
from the. qffice with a check for
$1,U.J,.,which was delivered him yes
terdaay ftemoon.
Mr.. Yehle restored to the Territory
the money he had drawn as pension
and had .the .balance deposited in such
a. way., that he will be secure finan
cially for .years to come.
Charles Cooper,, Seward resident,
offers the suggestion that he believes
a. lot of .favorable publicity can be di
rected to The proposed Yukon-Pacific
Highway .if one town in each division
of the Territory will sen da repre
sentative^ .with a dog team, to Fair
banks next winter and from' that
point trek, over the propose droute to
Seattle^.
Or. 1L K. Averill, dentist, former
ly practicing in. Interior Alaska com
munties, and well known throughout
this section, particularly in Takotna,
Mctirath. and. Ophir, died at Burns
hake, British Columbia, on February
28. Death..was. due to hemorrhages
caused by . ulcers of the stomach.
Dr. AverilL was born in Butte, Mon
tana, ana was aged 43 years at the
time of .his death. He bad traveled
the trails of .Alaska since 1906, and
last summer movoed, with his wife,
son and daughter, from Fairbanks to
the States. Mrs. Averill and children

Joe
J chased a cross fox from “Cockeyed
i Charlie” of the Salchack* ttribe for
the sum of $65, and when Ms returns
came i afrom the Seattle fur sales
auction he discovered that the pelt
had sold for $925. Officials of the Se
attle fur sales sa5d the fur, beautiful
ly crossed and almost a silver, a as a
eral buyers.
Seidovia will have a cold storage
plant this season, according to word
brought to Anchorage by Jack Tansy,
member of the bureau of fisheries
force. The building which is to house
the cold storage equipment has been
completed for some time and the
plant would have been in operation
last year but for the stock market
crash, which caused some delay in the
financial arrange mentts. These diffi
culies have been adjusted satisfac
torily and it is expected that the first
of the equipment will reach Seldovia
on an early boat.
.There are no starving children in
Seldovia,. according to Mr. Tansy. h.e
admits iuat some of the native fam
ilies were rather hard hit by the fail
ure of the winter herring catch, which
they depended upon to tide them over
tqj the coming of summer, but their
condition is not nearly so desperate
as earlier reports would seem to in
dicate. The bread line was a com
plete failure because there were no
fcrngry children to keep it going.
Following the discoverey that there
were several apparently under-nour
ished children attending school, some
yone suggested the need of a com
munity soup kitchen and one was
started. The first day three chiidren
took advantage ot the free food, there
were three children in line the second
day, and two the third day. After
that the food was prepared in vain.
There were no “starving" children to
feed and there have not been any
since.
The appeal of Carl Armstrong
from conviction .n the district court
of Alaska on a charge of murder was
recently submitted to the United
Stdtes circuit court of appeals, San
Francisco, for decision, following an
oral argument.
Armstrong* an aldtimer of —aska,
well known in the Nome section, was
sentenced to fifteen years after being
found guilty of killing Eric Dahlberg
on September 13, 1928, at Kodiak.
Armstrong’ sappeal waas argued
by Attorney Anthony J. Dimond of
Valdes, based on an alleged error in
instructions t<> the juTy by the trial
judge.
Dan Aston, whose death was re
ported at Wiseman by Harry Missap
on February 28, committed suicide
while despondent over ill healths,, ac
cording to the lndings of Missap: and
Deputy Marshal V. O. Greene, who
has just returned from a trip to the
lonely cabin on Jim river, about 60
miles from Wiseman. Aston was
found lying in his bunk, his head al
most bloym off by a bullet from a
rifle whica was lying be3id« him. The
body was buried nearby..
Aston was an oldtimer of the Koy
