DANVILLE, Cal, Nov. 3.-Bruce w. Stone. a pioneer Danville farmer. is believed to be the only man alive to- day who witnessed the lowering of the Russion flag and the raising of the Stars and stripes at Sitka, Alaska, when the American government took over the northern territory October IS, 1867
 Stone was in the quartermasters de- partment of the army at the time and was lined up, with the other Ameri can soldiers and sailors to witness the affair Two hundred and fifty Rus sian soldiers were also lined up for the affair
 The day the flag was hoisted was bright and sunny" Stone said recently in describing the ceremony. The pa rade ground at Sitka was on a pla- toau that was reached by a flight of about 300 steps cut into a hill overlook ing the Pacific
 The Russian flag was flying from pole on the parade grounds and at a given signal d Russian soldier start ed to haul 1t down As il was being lowered a catspaw Of a breeze blew il around sothat it got entangled around the staff and would not descend The Russians got quite upset over the in cident and several women and chil- dren were filled with all sorts of SUI perstitious fear at the omen.
 The Russian officer in command turned to Colonel Davis. who was com manding the Americans and asked him to suggest q means out of the diff Culty Davis turned to the naval of fcier in command and asked him to send up a man to loosen the flag. The captain ordered a sailor to shin up the mast and in a jiffy the bunting was clear A moment later the Amer ican flag was bent into the halyards and sped aloft, while all the ships in the harbor thundered out their sa- lutes."
