 Tn the meantime Mrs Garnick and her daughter had fled to a neighbor's house.
 Sidor9ff, his pistol empty, raced to the Garnick home and gained it's safety before the deputies could close in on him.
 Aid Comes
 Keeping close watch on the place, the officers dispatched a call for assistance, and, in few m.n- utes, two other deputies and five members of the Juneau Police De- partment, led by Chief Roy Hcff- man, appeared on the scene. equip ped with pistols, shotguns and tear gas equipment.
 Then followed 40-minute siege, during which window panes on the lower floor of the house were smashed and tear-gas bombs tossed in an attempt to dislodge the cap tive
 These shots soon attracted a crowd and, before the man was ap- prehended, more than 200 persons were watching from safe vantage points. Many of the watchers were forced to use handkerchiefs when they, too, became affected with the gas fumes. Officers who ven- tured too close to the house, were seen to retreat often, obviously temporarily overcome by the fumes.
 About 11:15 o'clock, Sidoroff was discovered, lying on a bed. His position, half hidden from a win dow's view by a sedrend, had pre- vented his earlier discovery.
 b1C-u CCVerS race
 Policeman George Gilbertsen en- tered the house and dragged the man to the front porch His face was covered with drying blood. He was placed in delivery truck which happened to be near the scene and rush to the hospital.
 Examination of the bedroom dis closed that the pistol had lain near him. Blood was spattared over the bed covering and bed posts. A search of the mans clothing show ed, among other things. a pocket full of pistol shells
 Officers expressed the opinion that, after the man had emptied his pistol at the deputies in the brush fight. he had refilled .he weapon when in the house and had fired two bullets at himself.
