ants went over the books to I'M
ravel them, but the accounts grew
more complicated. One citizen Of
New Haven presented a receipt
signed by Mr.. Roscoe and stating
that he had received from this man,
a sum amounting to hundreds Of
dollars. This money was to be
used for town expenses. There has
rot yet been found any record of
this transaction on the town books,
and this action on the part Of Ros-
coe still remains unexplained. The
sclectmen issued an order on the
town treasurer to pay this amount,
ordered the treasurer not to honor
it until it could be shown that the
town was liable for the debt. AS
treasurer Of the Beeman Academy
fund Mr.. Roscoe loaned money on
! notes. Since his death several per-
sons who have been notified that
the interest on their notes has not
been paid have produced receipts
showing that the interest was paid
to him. One man, who was appar-
emily three years behind in his pew

WhaIerS Find ESkimoS on the
Bleak Coast of Prince
Albert Land.
WHITES SCARE NATIVES
COULD NOT BE coAxED INTO CO.
ING ABOARD THE SHIP AND
LAUGH AT THE PILOT WHEN HE
DEVOURED BREAD.

Point Barrow, Alaska, Oct 6.-On
the bleak northwest coast of Prince
Albert Land, which until several years
ago was deemed positively uninhabi.-
able, Captain William Mogg. of the
whaling schooner Olga, has just found
every reason to believe that a consid-
cradle population maintains itself. In
this Arctic land Captain Moggs found
men who. in spite of the hundreds of
polar expeditions that have passed
through the North. had never seen
white men before and who gazed upon
the white-skinned strangers with awe
II is only during the last five years
that whaling ships have ventured into
the waters that wash these shores
When they did venture there, they lit,
tie expected to find evidences of hu.
man habitation. To their surprise
however they found abandoned food
caches. deserted camping grounds and
other signs of recent habitation. AS
they saw no people they naturally in.
ferred that the country was used as q
summer hunting ground by natives
from the Canadian mainland far TO the
south. The latter when questioned
however. said they knew nothing about
such hunting grounds.
The puzzle was not solved until last
July, when the Olga on her northern
cruise sighted human forms on a hill
several miles inland. These proved
to be old men who were advancing to
ward the shores where the ship lay n
anchor AS they approached it was
seen that they carried no weaponc
whatever and walked with arms ex
tended as a sign Of peaceful inten-
tions.
The old men were Eskimos and spoke
the regular Eskimo language. They
said they had never seen white mer
! before and were SO much afraid OF
them that they could not be coaxed
aboard the vessel. They knew moth.
ing about cereal foods or flour. and
when offered pilot bread laughed it t.
scorn as an article unfit for human
food They said they lived on seal
bear, whale, caribou and feathered
game. which they killed with bows. ar.
rows and spears or captured in snares
and curiously contrived traps. The,

said that the skins were almost cut w

inland. Each year they had fled,

they lay concealed behind the ridges
they listened in terror to the crashing
