Harry Imanura, Japanese, is now lying frozen to death somewhere near Kern creek On Thanksgiving Day he disappeared from the neighbor- hood of Kern creek and although search parties have been out hunting for him ever since not a trace has been found Imanura is the man who attempted to commit suicide over in that district two or three months ago. He came from Latouche to Seward and went to work at Glacier just be- fore he showed a suicidal intent In a message received by Deputy Mar shal Evans it is told that after Imam ura disappeared on Thanksgiving day several men trailed him and followed his tracks as long as they were visi- ble but word came last night that he has not been found.

CITY COUNCIL FAILS
 TO GET A QUORUM

No meeting of the city council of Seward has taken place since Novem- Der 20 although several afforts have been made to get a quorum. Last night the mayor, Councilman Torrey and Councilman Chamberlain were absent and as it requires five coun- cilmen to make a quorum there was no meeting. Councilman Sauers was not present but he would have been if he thought a quorum possible When Mayor Myers leaves town Mr Sauers becomes acting mayor but will still remain a councilman and have ] vote, which a mayor under the new law does not have. Some of the councilmen are now talking of the possibility that some new members of the council will have to be elected by tke body if the others persist in being absent. The council can declare a seat vacant if a councilman fail to show up for ninety days but a coun- ,ilman who does not intend to be present at meetings can create a va cancy by resigning.
