About eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon
an old Piute squaw, apparently between
so and 60 years of age, was discovered in
the brush out on the valley about mile
north of the city, without food, water,
clothing or attendants, and too weak to

fingers and thumb of her right hand,
that she had not drank water for five
sleeps" She was almost in state of
! nakedness, little strip of RABBIT skin
robe being all she had to protect her
from the chill night air. She was found
by Myles A. Knapp, who promptly re-

ry medicine. The benefits of the poor
fund are not supposed to be extended to
the Indians, as they are the wards Of the
honest and tender-hearted Christian
missionaries of the General Govern
ment; but the hospital authorities will
take the responsibility of fitting up n
couch for her under the institution, and
feeding and caring for her until the In
dian agent, down on the Muddy, has an
opportunity to decide whether he will
provide for the unfortunate being, or
leave her to starve. This is the second
case of the kind in the last few weeks.

of the way of the Indians. for the majority

begging their subsistence around Phoebe
