time ago an Interesting story, published by the

ShOShOne Indians, attracted considerable notice
and II was republished in The STAR OF January II.

Washakie, wyoming Territory, an Indian woman
who had fractured a limb and become burden on
the band of which she was member was stripped
OF her clothing, tied to stake and left to freeze
TO death: AZ the end OF two days and nights,
though badly frozen, she was not dead and the
Indians built flre around her, and she died
twenty-four hours later In great torture. This
story was clipped from TIE STAR by the COMMITS
