TRYING TO BURN A TOWN
Two Recent Fires at sutton. Neb.. Traced
to AN Inrendiary.

W "u bb'shf'Ni
Friday night ut 1880 flames were
discovered issuing from the roof Of the
fire department building at sutton,
and nothing but the best work saved
the building. II was a close call for
the department, Cor they came very
having nothing to fight the fire with,
but it was finally gotten under con-
troll. This was undoubtedly of incen-
diary origin, as some of the first per-
sons there detected the smell of kero-
sene, and IL was afterwards found
that the building was saturated with
IL. Only a few nights ago another
building that was vacant was set on
fire and completely destroyed, aud 1t
is evident that Sutton has a fire bug.
and il not detected soon the town will
undoubtedly have n conflagration some
night that will be of more damage
than the last two have been. A vigi-
lance committee is forming, and IL the
guilty n is found there may be no

attention to the critical study of this
most important and equally interest
ing subject
Dr. Boas, who will take the expedition
TO the northwest coast, has been in
Alaska before, and is we'll acquainted
with the people, their mode of living
and many of their dialects. He is also
a student of Indian myths and folk
lore, and has by his researches added
much to our knowledge of the first in
hahitant of America. but even thus
equipped the task before him will be
Stupendous. After exhorting, coaxing
and accommodating in any manner he
can, the old tales from these American
mortimer, the immense task of dis
eliminating between the good and bad,
the worthy and the useless, the ancient
and the modern, will be his portion. 1t
IS not enough to collect a quantity of
ancient fables which may have, be-
come current within "A few hundred
years, or may have been aSsimilated
from the imported fairy tales of the
whites. The antiquity of each tradi-
ton will have to be decided upon, COM
pared with the antiquity of a tale OF
similar import found, mayhap, in Asia.
The yarns of sundry ancient European
marines shipwrecked after a quest of
whales in the north Pacific will have
to be Sifted from the native folklore,
Tor these Sh1pWrecked sailors tales have
at times wrought dire results with the
beauty OF native traditions in various
parts of the world. The half-digested
teachings of early missionaries also
have in many cases changed the sim
plic1ty of native traditions, and created
messiahs in the history of races who
might not otherwise have existed. In
short, the collection of facts will not
be nearly so arduous a task as will be
the determination of their legitimacy.
But when the task is finally complete
We shall probably be able to state with
certainty who was the first discoverer
of America
