NEWS NOTES
A message received from Anchor
age this morning says that little John
Seiffert is in about the same condi
tion. His case is regarded as serious.
A wire received from Mrs. Seiffert
says she is hurrying back to him. She
also says that Vincent is getting on
finely, which is some consolation in
the affliction that she and Mr. Seiffert
have su[ffered recently.
A. F. McDonald has been arrested
at Bird creek and will probably be
taken back to Anchorage. Deputy
Marshal Ike Evans was asked to look
out for him along the Alaska North
