had retired for the night, but the noise
in the cabin prevented sleep. He tin
ally got up. intent on putting a quietus
to the disturbance. Upon emerging
from his home lie found the cabin in
flames. He asked Ipson, who was
standing by, if anyone was in the
cabin, but could get no coherent reply,
due to the man’s drunken condition,
Komedai caused the village to be
aroused, and got his own fire extin
guisher and played on the flames.
Others, with extinguishers, joined him.
When the flames were quelled, the
body of Markusen, burned so that the
flesh fell from the bones, was found on
