BY OLIVER SHERWOOD, Special Correspondent of The Star. CHICAGO. July 13.—For six months silence has sealed one of the most ling of individual Arctic adventures of recent years. A young 23-year-old college gradygte, Cornelius Osgood, had. left the Uni- versity of Chicago fo penetrate the wild Great Bear regions of Canada, above the Arctic Circle. He sought to establish contact with the savage Hareskin Indians of the district, who only a few years ago treated two other white men who sought to visit them with death. 3 Now word is received that the youth- |'ago before the adventure had been ex- ful scientist has achicved his objective | tended, Osgood told of the primitive and is back at civilization—alive—and | and savage nature of the Indians of with the record of haing been the only | the wrrnm?.

He took along a canoe, 2 wired. His report came just at & time when the Canadian government was thinking of sending , the Canadian mounted police to look for him. ; In reporting an his one-man expedi- tion, Osgood said that the last white men, two Catholic priests, who had sought in 1012 to penetrate the region, | were murdered by the Hargskin natives. | He sought by means of wide knowl- | erge of their tribal customs to win the | confidence of the Indians and sue- | ceeded. | He also sought to establish whether this tribe was of the same ethnologival | stock as the Pueblo end other Indfans | of the Southwest. Some have thought | that ther might be the missing link be- | tween the tribesmen of China and those | of the North American Continent. There are but 1.000 of these natives left and they are scattered over a wide Tegion in isolated groups. The language they speak is said by Osgood to be 100 | times more difficult than Chinese. | “It is a custom for the tribes similar | to the Hareskins to proclaim as a ‘shaman.’ or divine spirit, any lone white man who suddenly comes into their midst.” the scientist explorer ex- plained. “If that happens to me, one of my main dangers will be in trying to convince them that I am not an evil ‘shaman’ when they find I ecan't perform miracles and cure their sick as | they imagine a good spirit should.” In_one letter brought out months CORNS Stop Hurting in3 thril how sore your corn, this new way dead- ens pain in 3 seconds.
