for him TO spring upon the passing

he told the driver TO run for the fire.
Following the engine IL was but a
few minutes before he reached the
scene OF the fire and went TO work

Mccormick was the only man killed
at that fire. He was ut post Of duty

him before he could escape. His body
was found under the heap Of ruins.
His holiday sense Of duty called him
to his tragic fate.

due to the favorable alignment and

explorer Of the home Of the cli6 dwell

Welsh.
Subsequently the chief related tra-

many years ago. when the Creeks
were great people, there came among
them up the Arkansas river conSid-
erable number OF white men. They
were the first the Indians Ind ever
seen, and they brought many strange
Iron utensils and weapons, strange
customs and language. They were
adopted into the tribes. As their In
fiuence increased they impressed upon
the Indians many of their customs.
but chiefly words from their tongue.
They told the Indians that some day
other white men speaking these same
words would come among them and
they must preserve those words to
greet them.
A similar tradition has been pre-
served by the Navajos. In an ancient
mound. moreover, Major Cooper found
an iron knife. such as the Welsh
made in the early days, and on II
