AT the funeral of an Indian brave
near Winnemucca, Nevada, the wife
of the deceased was killed and buried
with him. This incident was COM
mented upon somewhat untavorably
by the Battle Mountain Messenger,
and as Il result a member of the tribe
implicated, Captain Bob by name,
called to see the editor and make an
explanation. Bob admitted being
present at the fnneral and that the
squaw was killed. He stated, in JUS
titication of the sacrifice, that she
was the wife of the dead buck, was
too old to work or do anything for
herself, and was looked upon as Il
witch. He thought this explanation
should satisfy all the whites. He de
clined to definitely state the method of
the killing, but suggested, "Mebbe put

The operation Of trimming the fin
