SIGUARD SEPPALA MEETS DEATH
III BURRING CABIN
One of the saddest accidents
occurring in this vicinity for '
many years happened this morning J
at the Pioneer Mining Company’s
camp at IAttle creek when the cabin
occupied by Siguard Seppala and Olaf
Kassen was destroyed by fire, result
ing in the death of the former and the
serious injury of Kassen. According
to the story told by those arriving
from the scene this morning, the la
mentable happening occurred about
♦ 5:30 and was the result of an attempt
to light a fire by means of distillate to
one of the young men shortly after
arising for the day. From the story
told by Kassen while writhing in
agony from numerous burns, it ap
pears that the men were both up, and,
finding the morning cold, Kassen sug
gested that a fire be started. Which
one of the two undertook the task has
not been definitely learned, but it is
believed to have been Seppala. At
any rate, whoever started the fire did
so by pouring distillate into the stove
from an open five gallon can with
a resultant explosion heard all over
the neighborhood and which filled the
cabin with flame. Kassen managed
to reach the open in some manner and,
with his clothes aflame from the blaz
ing oil, hurried to a nearby pool of
water which was partially frozen and
threw himself in, thereby extinguish
ing his burning clothing. By this time
the cabin was ablaze from end to end
and, despite the arrival of a numbei
of men from the nearby camps, noth
ing could be done to bring Heppaln
from the burning building.
All possible effort was made to get
at the body but it was found impos
sible and the horrified watchers were i
compelled to stand aside ’while the |
cabin was consumed. In the meantime |
A.isstm was m.i.lo i.j comfortable ut j
possible and hurried calls were sent i
to town for medical aid.
On the arrival of Dr. Mustard, Kas- j
sen was brought to the hospital whore
he now lies in a precarious condition. I
The remains of tho unfortunate Sep- I
pala were in the meantime taken from j
the embers of the burned building. An
examination disclosed that the flames
had wrought awful havoc and the
hods was charred and burned be
yond ail recognition.
The unfortunate accident fell like
a blow on the community as both
young men are well and favorably
known, Seppala, who Is a brother of
the winner of this year’s sweep -
takes race, has been a resident of the
district for many years and his death
will ho deeply regretted by a large
circle of acquaintances. An inquest
will lie held at two this afternoon.

EQUALIZATION BOARD TONIGHT

With the exception of Councilman
Blake, the entire membership of the
common council were present when
the regular Monday night meeting .
whs called to order by Mayor Din- :
I mond last night After tlio reading j
anil approval of the minutes of the |
I previous meeting Councilman Thump- !
j son presented a petition from the \
residents of the east end of King’s
a.i , .slung that tho street light which
j formerly gave comfort to the night
I wayfarer he restored as ttie district
entirely unlightod.
a . ninmunicatiop from the school
board w is read asking that the sum
i f ;'i' o granted for payment of the
salaries "t tho teaching staff. The
city ittorney announced that the light
ing i rntrin't between tlio city and the
1 Seward Peninsula Power Company
was reads’ for signatures and also
stated that a resolution had been pre
paid arranging for the meeting of a
board ' f equalization composed of the
council members to adjust the tax
lolls, fudge Hobbes stated that the
board would have to arrange its sit
tings so that the work would bo con
cluded by tiie tenth of October. Tire
resolution was then road in blank...
Sundry and divers accounts against
the city required considerable time
in reading and all labor bills were
ordered paid under a suspension of
the rules.
The council then took up tile mat
ter of the communication of the
school hoard and a resolution was of
ered requiring that warrants bo drawn
for the amount asked. It was so or
dered. The petition relative to the
light oil King’s way was also taken up
and referred to the street committee.
Tom Albright again appeared be
fore the council to enter further pro
i tost against what ho considered tho
laxity of the council in failing to fix
ml min to his satisfaction. Mr. Al
right was real peeved and wanted to
know if "Billy Rowe was the czar of
Nome and why” the council did not
dare enforce a law against him."
The mayor stated that in his belief
the council had done all that could
he done and it was therefore up to
the complainant to invoke the law if
lie wanted matters fixed to his per
sonal satisfaction. This pronounco
mer.i ipparently swept Mr. Albright
off iiis pins and no further remarks
Were forthcoming.
Thompson then suggested that it
was advisable to appoint a city elec
trician as many of the wires of the
file alarm system were in bad shape
and it was cheaper to have them look
ed after by a regular men than to
hire expert help at intervals. fHi
concluding his statement the eouti
oilman offered the name of George
Burger moving that he be appointed
to the position at a salary of ten dol
lars per mouth.
Councilman Lehmann wanted to
know how it was that the wires were
out of order and was informed by
Thompson that the city had made use
of some old wires taken from the
Sandsplt and these were the ones
making all the bother. The motion
was passed.
The resolution arranging for the
meetings of the hoard of equalization
•vis t'.-.sr. taken up ink t*"11"
discussion It was decided that the first
meeting' should be held in the city
hall tonight at S o'clock p. m. There
being no further business, everybody
looked at Thompson while he. with
customary dignity, aaumed his time

out dissent.
