Ak Is His weapon.

Some time about 8 o'clock this morning
Charles quietly arose and, dressing himself,
but not putting on his shoes, crept down to
the cellar and secured an AK. Coming up
stairs, he went into his mothers room,
where the victims were all sleeping. After
turning up the light, the maniac approached
his mothers bedside. swung the AK high in
the air and brought It down with such sorce
that the k was crushed. The mother
evidently never knew what struck her, but
the crased son. thinking that his first blow
did not do its work, pounded the dead moth
er's head almost to a Jelly.
Belle, the oldest daughter, slept through
out the time. The dull sound Of the ak on
her mothers head did not arouse her.
Charles hurried to her side Of the bed and
struck her with the ak. It is thought that
the hrst blow slipped and awoke the girl,
but only for a second. She did not have
time to scream, for the next blow killed her.
The hend then turned to the smaller chill
dren and struck each one over the head with
the bloody weapon.

South in Raging Seas, North

The Cottage City arrived at Skagwdy at 7;3o and left at Io:3o yesterday morning. She left Seattle January 10. There were aboard twenty eight first class and fourteen sieerlge passengers for Skagwav. Six first and three steerage passengers debarksd at ketehlIkan, one at KlllIsnoo, two al Petersburg, three at Rodmdn Bay. eight # Juneau, three at Sltka and one at wrsngell
 On the down trip the Cottage was de- layed by very stormy weather. A less seaworthy vessel could not have made the trip through gales that drove even craft so slaneh as the we'll known liner under the shelter of Union bay for thirty-six hours.
 The Cottage City was five davs en voy' age from Juneau to Ketchlkan. She came into port ten days after leaving Skagway, though the run was prolonged day by reason of her having to call at Sllka' Owing to high winds and heavy snow, she had to anchor one night at Wrangsl nauOws, one night at wrangle, two nights in Union bay, near Cleveland peninsula. and night at Ketchlkan.
 Regardless of this experience the stluneh, fast craft made such splendid time on the up trip that she made her round trip schedule good.
 She cleared SkagwaY with between forty-five and fifty passengers, which to- gether with reservations at Sitka and Juneau will tax all her accommodations If the Cottage had arrived at wrangel an hour sooner she would have made the northern trip In three and half days.
