BULLET
Mrs. W. W. French lies in the emer
gency hospital suffering from a gun
shot wound accidently received \av
yesterday afternoon white tn *tr i
at Mile 3. Mrs. French was getting
ready to go out hunting and had lo: .
ed her 22-Special and placed it on a

let in her right breast, the bullet graz -
ing a rib and passing out through th'

the shops and Dr. Romig left soon afv
er the accident on a speeder and
brought the injured woman to SewaH

A probe was made of the wound a* '
it was washed out According to Dr.
Romig, Mrs. French is fortunate m
the accident as an inch above or be
low where the bullet entered, wo’dd
have proved serious.
That the bullet was going some
when Mrs. French was struck, is in
dicated by the fact that after passing

two inch door of the car and shattered
a window' in the next car.
Mrs. French is resting easily todav
and it is believed no complications will
result.
Mr. French returned on t?ie

COMMITTEE ON
FAIR PRICES
CONTINUES
Seward’s fair price committee will
remain in office for nearly two years
Tongor, or until October,V1\)2I, and dny'
charges of profiteering should be
made direct to the committee. Furth
ermore the government is ready to as
sist in prosecuting when direct chai
ges are made by the local committee.
The above.was brought out yester
day afternoon at a special meeting
called in the offrr of Deputy United
States Marshal Ralph Reed by assist
ant district attorney J. S. Truitt.
It appears that serious charges were
made in the recent report of the Sew
ard fair price committee. This report
was sent by Territorial food adminis
trator Bradley to the Attorney Gener
al. That office immediately laid the
charges before the district attorney of
the Third Division and assistant dis
trict atto ney Tniltt was ordered to
come to Seward and investigate. Mr,
Truitt arrived here last week and the
mo^t’"0* v'st'Tdav w°s the result.
It is understood, that for the tir
being, there will not be any prosceu
t;on as a lesult of the charges ma le
in the report as it is believed proot
positive is lacking sufficient to *a:
the matte*s before the grand jury.
However, Assistant district attorney
Truitt gave the fair price committee
sp-c'a1 instructions and all citizens
are asked to submit their change*,
with proof, of any profiteering in
Seward, to the fair price committee.
