It was good milk, too, fine and rich. “The night of the fire, it was on Sunday, the O'Learys were having a party. They were serv- ing oyster stew and Mrs. O'Leary went out to get some milk. She was a short woman and wore a calico apron. “She didn't have a lantern, so she took a lamp. She set the lamp on the floor and the cow kicked it over, spilled kerosene on the barn floor and started the fire.” Mrs. Koller said she was only five years old at the time, but that she remembered the incident clearly and that neighbors and members of her family had told the same version, —_— tion; reporters less air and straightened up. “A more careful blood test was made,” went on Wingate. “The spectrum of the blood was charac- teristic of carbon monoxide poison- ing." The foreman of the jury, sitting with mouth agape, nudged the man next to him, then leaned forward and, with a deprecating glance at the coroner, addressed Wingate. “Do you mean the carbon monox- ide gas we are always warned about when starting cars in closed garages?” he asked, incredulously.

Seward, Alaska, Oct. 8 (A — Alaska's legendary “land of the tailed man” will be penetrated by the Gulkana-Nabesna highway, now under construction. The road plan was designed to furnish an eventua] link to the high- way that will extend from Los An- geles far into northern Alaska. From Slana, the new highway will enter a country that combines a wealth of natural resources, scenery, big game and historic interest, said Donald MacDonald, sponsor of the project. MacDonald, who is surveying 50 miles in advance of the construction crews, said he met a,native who told him how his tribesmen had found a race of men with tails. The native told MacDonald these men lived in dens and used no fire.
