ARMED TO KILL.
Indians secreted Near MemaIuse Is
land to Defend Their Dead.


1t may be well for Indian grave rob-
bers to heed the communication of
Agent Lucky in another column, or
something might happen both quicker
and more severe than the ordinary PEN
atty of the law. The Indians are very
much agitated over the robberies of their
dead. 1t is their custom to bury every
personal effect of dead Indian with
him, even to money, thinking, with a
persistence born of superstition, that the
deceased is entitled to everything he ac-
quired during life ank will need it in
future. A white man is not expected to
sympathize with him in this. belief but
he is expected to have regard for the
belief of others, no matter what it is, in
reverence for the dead. A So gold-piece
was recently found in the mouth of a
dead Indian and ever since vandals have
been looking for more money. The In
dians have grown indignant over this
treatment and some of them openly de-
clare that they will defend with their
lives further robberies, philosophizing
that the safety of their effects in the
future is of more Importance to them
than the present. AS consequence it
is reported that some of them are in hid
ing near the burial ground armed with
guns and will shoot the first white
intruder.
