A Piute Doctor Suppressed.
Reno Gazette.

The Piutes at Big Meadows last
Wednesday sacrificed their leading
physician because he lost three pa
tients in succession. The third and last
patient who slipped through the doc
tors fingers was a son of Captain
Dick. A council was held among the
members OF the tribe living i'll that
vicinity and the necessary proof
taken, when it was decided that DR..
Mashago should suffer death, and his
ponies-two ia number - be shot
During the night the executioners
appeared at the Doctors wigwam and
put four or FIVE bullets into his body.
The whites living near heard the shots
and yells The next morning the In
dians reported that the doctor had
first killed his horses and then sui
cided by eating wild parsnip. The
Indians have ways of making a con
demned member of the tribe willing
to eat wild parsnip.

When officer Pegg arrested Mutt
he said: Jim, you've done bad work.
You have killed Dukes and / think
another man." Mutt replied am
sorry for the other man; but Dukes
couldn't help"

Dukes was armed, but objection of
the prosecution was sustained by the
court.

mony. however, with the exception

The Use of Dogs.
Newman Independent

One of the mysteries that viii prob
ably never be solved is why 30 many
people keep dogs, especially town peo-
pie. One reason doubtless IS because
some people want chance to perjure
themselves when the assessor comes
around, and swear that they don't own
a dog. when the assessor can't get into
the house until six or eight dogs run
out. Poor people, TO, are often found
who haven't a bite In the house until
a dog brings gives it to them. Then
there are many families that find their
stock of feas running short-so fast do
such families increase-and are COM
PEELED to buy another dog in order to
rcplenisn it.
