STORY OF KODIAK MURDER

A telegram to Marshal Brenneman from Deputy Marshal Karl Arm strong of Kodiak, states that Nordya PestrikofT, native girl of Kodiak, is in custody there charged with the murder of her infant child by stran- gulatiOn.
 The infant, an illegitimate child, was born June 5th, and shortly after its birth the young mother took a cord and twisted it about the neck of the child, strangling it to death, fol- lowing which she hid the body away. Her condition was known and failure to produce the child following her confinement, led l. an investigation which brought to light the body of the infant, on whose tiny neck were  still visible the marks of the cord which deprived it of life. An inquest was held and an examination of the body by Dr. Silverman disclosed the cause of death. It was a clear case of murder and a cororer's jury so rem dered a verdict. The girl was taken into custody and is now being held to await further action by the court. This was the second illegimate child the girl has borne within the past two years the first being still alive-Val- dez Prospector.

 "Now, my dear Yvonne, all this is but a mere precaution, and hope to be beside you and help you at your task, but as I said, one never knows. In any case we soldiers are advancing with good cheer and in the firm hope of victory.

CITY COUNCIL GOES
 TO HEAR A TRIAL

The majority of the members of the city council attended in Judge Book CTS courtroom this afternoon to listen to the proceedings in the ease of the city vs. Peter Michaelson, known as Pete the Greek, who is charged with resisting an officer while in the dis charge of his duty. The council mem bers were interested particularly be- cause of the fact that Chief of Police Guest hit Pete over the head with a club and cut him, and because of ru- mors unfavorable to the chief of police that got abroad as a conse- quence. Mir. Guest and Mike Johnson, formerly patrOlman, gave evidence. It would appear from the evidence that the chief went to serve notice from the city council on OIichaelson to move ! his house off Second avenue when the trouble began. NIr. Guest said Pete hit him with a hammer and that he, the chief, then went out and got the aid of Mike Johnson to go back and arrest Michaelson. Johnson admitted that Guest hit Michaelson on the head with club after going back to make the arrest but he said the blow was not more than necessary. Judge S. O. Morford asked for a dismissal at the close of the city's evidence on the ground that the chief had no right to go back to make an arrest without a warrant NIr. Morford declared that ! in serving the notice for the city Mir. ! Guest was not acting as an officer but as an ordinary messenger The court denied the motion.
 The scutTle occurred in the premi- ses of J. l.. Graef in whose employ ment DIichaelson is. According to ! Mir. Ennis who was in the Graef store Guest and Johnson came and asked where that blankety blank Greek was" and Mir. French swore that the two men attacked Michaclson rather l fercely. He said he counted nineteen blows delivered by Mr. Guest with a club on the person of Michaelson. l After hearing both sides the court said the evidence was not very clear
 but he fined Michaelson the minimum fine, twenty-five dollars end costs. Judge Green was for the city and Judge s. O. Morford wEo was for the defendant gave notice of appeal.
