BOYS TO RECOMMEND A CHIEF
Councilmen Are Unanimous in Their,
Action Regarding Propositions
of Fire Department Done in
a Special session
The old ordinance regarding the
consolidation of the offices of Chief ol
the Fire Department and Night Pa
trolman will be annulled and a new
ordinance will be drafted and pre
sented to the city council at the next
regular meeting. The Volunteer Fire
Department of Seward will be reor
ganized and the members will be ask
ed to recommend their choice toi
Chief and this important branch ol
the city will be once more placed on
a suitable sphere.
At the special meeting of the cit>
council last night, all councilmen be
ing present with the exception ol
John Dubreuil, the acting fire de
partment members submitted re-;
quests which were arrived at when a!
special meeting was held last Sunday
afternoon. The tire department made
the following pwpositions:
That the council recognize that
part of Ordinance No. 7, Section 1,
which provides for the election ol a
Chief to be chosen by the members j
whose duties will be to look after the
lire apparatus, inspect hydrants, flues
and chimneys and to receive $50 mon
thly salary;
That the membership of the Depart
ment shali consist of 20 active mem
bers, each to receive $1 per month and
those responding to a lire, $2 each;
That additional sleeping quarters,
be provided in the Fire hall lor four
additional men and that all communi
cations from the department receive
just recognition.
The councilmen unanimously voted
to accede to the requests of the de
partment members with the exception
of the for each man responding to
a lire alarm. This matter will be ta
ken up again and it is believed that a
satisfactory explanation or readjust
ment can be made.
The councilmen all recognized the
importance of a Fire Department and
were extremely anxious that dissen
sion be eliminated and harmony pre
vail.
City Attorney Green will undoubt
edly have the necessary new ordin
ance and the notice of repeal of the
old ordinance ready by the next regu
lar meeting of the council.
ALASKA MINER IS
TRIMMED BY TRICK
“Shades of *98!” exclaimed Police
Lieutenant Joe Mason the other af
ternoon when told that Trinko Apro
vich, recently returned from Alaska,
was the victim of an old confidence!
- trick, says a Seattle newspaper.
Aprovich, 40 years old and a miner,
was standing at First Avenue south
and Washington street when a man
began searching the sidewalk toi
something which he apepared to have
lost. He was joined by another who
told him the Alaskan had picked up
something a moment before and put
it in his pocket.
Aprovich, sure of his own innocent
consented to a search of his clothing.
The pair of bunco artists, according to
the story told later at the police sta
tion, searched until they came to his
money belt in which he had $*>80 in
$20 gold pieces. This they emptied in
to a handkerchief, counting each coin.
Seemingly satisfied that they had
not found what they were looking foi
the men rolled up the handkeichici
and placed it in Aprovich’s pocket and
walked away. The victim pulled out
the bundle, bent on restoring his
! wealth to the belt, and discoveicd
stones. The trick was a favorite one
during early rushes to Northern gold
fields, but has not been worked here in
many years.
