Eskimo Relics Found
At Fox Bar In Kougarok
Otto Wihl, Kougarok miner, is
in town, enroute “outside” after
mining all summer on his ground
near Fox Bar.
Otto brought in a small box
full of Eskimo relics which he
dug up in his garden patch. He
estimates the bone and stone
pieces to be about 500 years old.
He said his garden apparently
is on the site of an old Eskimo
village and that he has found sev
eral old graves but that he had
not disturbed them.
The relics include a stone axe,
pieces of what appear to be stone
cooking utensils, bone spear
points, a carved bone pick, and
other items. There are only sev
eral bits of ivory, one of which
appears to be an “ooloo” handle.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
A very interesting grouping of
the planets is in evidence at the
present time. Within a range of
60 degrees on either side of the
sun we now lhave all of the j
planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Nep
tune. ,
The grouping of the planets at
this lime of the year about their
stellar star, the sun, makes a real
home coming in the skies. It re
minds us of the home comings at
the colleges and universities that
will soon occur. The combined
gravitational attractions of all
these heavenly bodies in the same
direction often times brings about
reactions on the earth.
At this time, we can predict the
location of planets months ahead.
Our Christmas star this year will
be the planet Venus. It will b*
shining in the east about 36 de
grees above the eastern horizon
at sunrise.
STORES ARE BURGLED)
A ^ second break-in inside of
three weeks was reported by
Cavota’s Store Tuesday morning.
The burglar entered by way of
the front door, first breaking the |
glass in the outside door and then
reaching in and unlocking the
door, and opening the inside door
in the same manner.
The casji register was found up
side down on the floor, but the
burglar apparently was unable to
open it, however, it was empty
anyhow.
j Mr. Cavota says he doesn’t
know for sure exactly how much j
merchandise was taken this time.
About three weeks ago, thieves i
entered the store by way of a
rear window and that time the
intruder cut his hand, because
he left blood stains on the win
dow frame and on the store floor.
It was not determined then how
much merchandise was taken.
Another break-in was made at
the City Fuel and Transfer Office
on Third Ave. a week ago when
a window was forced and about
$50 in silver was taken.
Federal and city police are
working on the cases but as yet
no arrests have been made.
IN COMMISSIONERS COURT
Samuel Ashonuk, charged with
burglary not in a dwelling was
bound over to the Grand Jury
and bond set at $1,000.
