NO. 22.D

1t is surmised that Huglin Price
and brother were going to this still
to cut wood when he was killed, that
after Price was killed Bob. Davis and
his crowd took the still worm away
and left everything else. 1t will be
remembered that the shooting a few
weeks ago arose over the charge of
the Davises that one of the Price
boys had stolen a still from the Da-
vises.
1t is generally understood that the
Prices and their friends are waiting
to see what Sheriff Garrison intends
to do in attempting to arrest Bob Da-
Wis and in case he takes no action
they will take the matter in hand.
Jack Price was here Saturday to find
out, what course Sheriff Garrison in.
tended to follow.

SERKESS FOUND HIS MOTHER

mon in Armenia.

Bright and early one morning a
band Of Arabs drove up to the Near
East Relief orphanage at Kars, Ar
menia, bringing with them a forlorn
little chap about five years old.
I'VE want you to take this boy"
said the leader of the band to an Off.
cial Of the orphanage "He has no
father, nor mother"
what Is his name?" the leader Of
the band was asked.
HE is called Serkess," shouted
back the leader Of the Arabs as they
galloped away.
In this way little Serkess became
a member Of our family. He was an
intelligent little chap but seemed un-
able to remember anything about his
home or his parents.
A few days later one Of the native
women helpers at the orphanage was
going through the playground when
she suddenly stopped, turned pale and
stared unbelievingly at one of the lit
tie chaps who was playing there.
"Serkess!" she cried, and running to
the youngster gathered him into her
arms. Serkess was her son who had
been taken from her two years before
by the Turks.

WILL EXPLORE BAFFIN LAND
Expedition Leaves Boston in July to
Investigate Northern Region Never
Hitherto Penetrated,

Secrets Of Baffin Land, one of the
portions of the Arctic still unexplored,
will be the objective of the Macmillan
expedition which is In preparation now
for departure in the summer Of 1921.
Although the region was visited sew
eral times before the Pilgrims crossed
the Atlantic to Cape Cod, Bafin Land.
from the point of view of explorers
and scientists, is still one of the rich
est and most alluring fields of research
in the North.
It's whole western shore, more than
1000 miles In length, is but vaguely
defined on the charts. Eskimos have
told wonderful tales of vast lakes and
towering mountains in the interior, but
white men have never visited that
section. It's flora and fauna have new
er been studied; little Is known of the
movements of the tidal currents along
its shores, and facts of geology, min
eralogy and meteorOlogy await the
coming of scientific observers.
The party, headed by Donald Mac
MILAN, the late Admiral Peary's lieu
tenant on the expedition that reached
the north pole, plans to leave Boston
about July 1. 1921, and to reach Baffin
Land In less than a month, with good
luck. The following winter will be
spent on the western shore in latitude
60. The camp probably will be just
south of the entrance of the danger
Gus Fury and Hecla strait, where the
ships of Captains Parry and Lyon,
seekers Of a northwestern passage,
were blocked century ago. That is
100 miles north of the Arctic circle
and 700 miles south of Etah, on the
shore of northwestern Greenland,
where MacMillan's Crockerland expe-
dition passed four winters.
In the winter attempts will be made
by dog teams to explore the coast
northward and in the following sum-
mer the interior of the island will be
penetrated. The plans for the expedi-
tion call for an absence of two years
from this country. in case longer
stay is necessary, no relief expedition
will be sent, according to present ar
rangements. If the ship is crushed In
the Ice, the party plans to retreat by
dog teams to Fort Churchill, the trad
ing post at the foot of Hudson bay and |
to return to civilization by way of |
Canada.
The Macmillan Arctic association
will back the expedition. 1t Is COM

Wolf Hunters Reap Harvest.

"Wolfers" are expert trappers and
hunters who have developed special
aptitude for hunting wild animals.
They are dead shots with rifle or re-
volver, and think nothing of crawling
into a VOLTS den with no other weap-
ons than an iron bar and hatchet,
the iron bar being thrust into the
VOLTS mouth in case Of attack and
blow with the hatchet ending the bat
tie.
Hunters sometimes work for days
excavating VOLTS den and may be
rewarded by finding litter Of
young wolves, every puppy counting
a scalp and also bringing a high
price in the fur market. Generally
the killing is done in or near the
VOLTS den. The most effective work
is done in the spring, when the wolf
families are at their largest
One wolf may cost stockman
about $1,000 a year in slaughtered
cattle, so the men In the cattle
business find 1t cheaper to hire good
"wolfers" to hunt these animals.
The "wolfers," while hunting wolves,
have an opportunity Of catching 9TH
er fur-bearing creatures, the beaver
being the only one strictly exempt by
law against killing.

Canadian Aborigines.

In round numbers the aboriginal
population of Canada, consisting Of
Indians and Eskimos, is about 100000,
the Indians numbering 100000, and the
Eskimos a few more than 5000.
They are the descendants of the
people who held all this north land
when Cabot skirted the Labrador
coast, and when Jacques Cartier sailed
up. the st. Lawrence. At that time
the entire country was theirs over
which to make war, and hunt, and
lead their wretched existence. In the
southern half of the Dominion all this
is changed. It no longer contains
roaming Indians. They live upon their
reserves and to a considerable extent
obtain a livelihood by following the
white mans pursuits. They are learn
ing to till the soil, to engage in COM
mercial fishery, to labor in the lumber
camps, and even to engage in trades.

FOULLY MURDERED
HughIin Price Shot Dead and Four Balls
Through His Head Afterward

One of the most dastardly and
cruel murders that ever disgraced
any community was committed Wed
nesday morning of last week, when
Bob Davis shot and killed Hughlin
Price near his home about six
O'Clock in the morning, about four
miles from Grapevine in the edge of
Cumberland county. The condi-
tions surrounding the killing seem
to be about as follows:
Wednesday morning Hughlin Price
aged 26 years, with his brother, Bert
Price, about 21 years of age, claim
to have started to the woods with
saw, axe and other tools to cut some
wood for the home. When they
reached a point about 200 yards
from their home, Bert Price stopped
for a minute and Hughlin turned
facing him. Just then a shot was
fired and load of No. buckshot
plowed its way into the body Of
Hughlin Price. Two shot struck the
man in the left side of the neck, one
in the shoulder and one in the left
arm. The man fell forward on his
face dead.
The brother, Bert Price, ran for
the house to get gun, but just as he
started he recognized Bob Davis and
saw another man whom he did not
recognize. The men who did the
shooting were hid sixteen steps from
their victim.
While Bert Price was gone to his
house for his gun he heard shots
from a high-power army rife. When
he returned the murderers were
gone. He found the body of his
brother had been turned over and
one shot fired with the high-power
gun through the body and four
through the head, which tore away
almost half of back of the head.
The bullets had entered the dead
man as follows: One in the right
side above the nipple and came out
about four inches above the left hip
joint in the small of the back. The
right eye was shot out, shot once un-
der the left eye, once in the center
of the nose at the edge of the skull
and once in the forehead.
The killing is the result of a shoot
ing scrape that took place between
the Prices and Davises a few weeks
ago in which Hughlin Price was shot
N the side with a 45-calibre pistol
pail and had his left arm broken by
another shot. They shot Huglin
Price down twice and as he lay on
he ground unable to get up he kept
iring at his enemies with a shot gun,
,ut his shot was too light and he did
title or no damage.
