The Reese River Rceiizs, of the 2sth
Indian was buried in SIskiyou county,
and, as is the custom. his property, such
as guns. money, etc, WAS buried with
him. The money consisted of twenty
six dollars i'm American coin. which was
placed in lis mouth. After the cere-
moDy was all over. and the dirt was
still loose over his grave, some persons,
having no respect for or dread of the ga
cred portals of the tomb. proceeded TO
exhume the body. and extracted there
from the twenty>six dollars. The dis>
turbers of the dead were not very par
ticular how they extracted il from the
Indians mouth. and. being unable to
secure il easily, they split his head
open. The remains were not even fa-
vored with reinterment. This is one
OF the most inhuman and horrible acts
we have heard of in a long time. though
ii il not the FIRST time the same internal
conduct has taken place in the county.
Ten or fifteen years since similar act
was perpetrated by a young man. and
had he not lett that part OF the country
on "short.order' he would have been
treated har-hly, but very justly. dealt
with by an outraged and exasperated
community. There is no punishment
too severe for the scoundrel who
would rob a grave. even of n dead In
dian, for few paltry dollars
