BETHEL P. 0.
_
! Native Boy Caught in
Midnight Till-Tap
ping Act.
I
Bethel. Marsh 10.—During the ab
sence of Post master Felder, of this
i lace, Jack Herron, bis assistant, on
two consecutive mornings found the
cash register standing at "P 10c”: To
determine the cause, on the third night
Frank Bourne, a clerk, locked himself
in.the store.
About midnight Bourne was awak
ened by the ringing of the cash reg
ister. Throwing his flashlight in that
direction, be 9Bw a* youug native lad
from Tniuksa'* standing before the
open machine. A scuffle followed* dur
ing which Bourne rapped the native
over the head with atv ax he-’s-dV, put
ting the native to sleep Locking hist
in the store. Bourne ran to get Mr.
Herron. In the meantime the native
recovered and, running down cellar,
jumped through a cellar window, in
doing which he was badly cut up by
broken glass.
An examination of the cash register
showed that $40 of the store funds and
$18 of postal funds were missing. The
matter, bus-been reported to tho postal
i ii spec-tor a*'- S po k an a?..
The native has been Bound over to
the grand jury. He is a. son of* the
Moravian deacon at Tuluksak village.
Substitute for Gasoline—Maybe.
It is possible that gasoline oensumers
of the United States may yet be able to
throw off the yoke of John D. Rocke
feller and his corporations. The Fed
eral Department of Agriculture has al
ready discovered that motor cars caD
be operated by distilled wheat straw, a
product of the soil now virtually wast
ed. It will also serve, say officials, for
illumination and cooking purposes.
One ton of wheat straw will produce
t>he power equivalent to forty gallons
of gasoline, it is estimated, and enough
wheat straw goes to waste west of the
Mississippi river to produce one-fifth
of the driving pewrer of all gasoline
now manufactured. Experiments that
have been under way by the Govern
ment ate calculated to determine the
cost of the wheat straw distillate.
