Discovers Thirteen New Tribes.
During his travels about the region
at the top of the world S'. lansson dis
covered thirteen new tribes of people.
Ten of these tribes had novel seen or I
heard of white men. The progenitors ,
of two other tribes had seen tlic mem- ■
hers of the Franklin exploring < xpedi- j
tion, and one tribe, had once Im, n v j H . ,
ited by a "haling vessel.
The tribe of white proph which I
Stefansson declares are purely of Not - j

persons of their ow n , oloi. Their num- !

TELLS WHERE To|
FIND RIG HE TOOK
Horse Thief Writes Note to the
Police Chief and Stolen An-.
imal Is Recovered.
Major < harles Vittur. proprietor of
Vittur’s livery stables, today regained
possession of a fine horse and buggy
which had been missing since Saturday.
He got the rig back by following in
structions in a mysterious note re
ceived by Police Chief Beavers from
the horse thief.
This note, which came to the chief
written on a dirty piece of paper- in a
scrawling hand and inclosed in a tele
gram envelope, read:
"Tell the livery stable man on Ma
rietta street he can get his horse and
buggy if he will go to a point one
mile above Ndrctoss. He will find it in
the "nods, tied to a tree, right behind
( a church. I'm drunk.”
There was no signature. The charac
ter of the almost illegible writing in
dicated that the writer knew what he
was talking about when he said he was I
"drunk.''
Chief Beavers turned the note over]
to Major Vittur, and the liveryman at
once hurried to Norcross. He went to
. the point indicated, and there, behind a
little country church, tied to a tree,
"as his horse and buggy. The writer
of the note was gone.
The thief called at Vittur's stables
Saturday morning and rented the horse
and buggy, giving his name as "Scott.”
and explaining that he wanted to drive
' to Ben Hill. When lie failed to return
at the appointed time. 9 search was
s started, but nothing was heard from
t the horse and buggy until the arrival of |
the note.
