“burying" giounds by tin* reindeer.
At least that was the way he under
stood the matter.
The Nome Nugget sponsors the
sto \ as follows:
A bevy of Inalakloot's “fairest”
called upon Mr. Lomen at the road
house. The visit was entirely unex
pected and. fearing tin* worst, he
hurriedly and energetically announc
ed that he was a married man. The
. t.dement seemed to bring consider*
i.h!e dismay to some of the fair call
ers, for Mv. Lomen is decidedly pre
sentable y >ung man. F»ut they adjust
<<i themselves to the unexpected an
nouncement and stated their reasons
for call1’ iv seems that the reindeer
graze upon their “berrying” ground
and they wanted Mr. Lomen to in
s'nice the ho:do*s to ke«n them away.
•Why/ said Mr. Lomen graciously,
••I’ll build a fence around your bti'-y
in.r ground" and that will he much
hotter.”
The surprised thanks ho immedi
at !v received, prompted him to ask
tli • extent of the supposed burying
ground an 1 be then learned that it
was about forty square miles in area,
and that it was their berry picking'
g’\ und instead ol tin* place whore
th- y lay at rest their lamented dead.
This knowledge changed the fence
id. a and it was agreed that the fair
on s w ill co-operate with the herders
in keeping the deer away from the
pastures. Mr. Loracn then re
tiled amid the plaudits of his fair and
f; endly visitors.
