sscond wife. ordered Charles to go to
town and get her clothesline. Being
offended at something. the boy started
in the direction Of the town and then
ran away. going to Minnesota, where he
has since been living. at Monticello. A
search was made for him, but without
success. and finally Mr.. and Mrs.
Wright removed to this place, where
they purchased farm. Some time ago
Charles Wright, who had married and
had been blessed with children. heard

or descent Of the Inhabitants no def.

are no records Of the past among the

middle Of a marsh. and the sinking OF
the land caused the site TO be flooded
and abandoned. The inhabitants in

have moved along the easiest line of

instead Of deer. the natives Of North
America having never domesticated the
reindeer. and they speak n different

strait In Siberia. Some writer's on the
subject have advanced the theory that
the natives OF Alaska are descendants
