Hitch at the Stake.
PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 2.-The steamer
Al-Ki, arriving at Port Townsend from
Sitka, Alaska, yesterday, brings news of
the arrest of a Klawack Indian who, sus-
pecting his sister of witchcraft, burned her.
The murder, which was particularly afro
cious, occurred three years ago. The In
dian bore such bloodthirsty reputation
that the Marshals never dared to attempt
his arrest.
An Indian doctor, falling to effect cure
notified the tribe that one of the women
was imbued with witchcraft and was
exercising an evil influence over his
patient The subject was discussed in the
tribal conclave, and the brother of the
accused squaw was ordained as her
executioner. He refused, until made
drunk, when his father-in-law induced him
to apply the match to the pile of infam-
mable material heaped about the stake to
which his sister was tied. When the
flames shot into the air, the tribesmen
mingled their exulting whoops with the
dying shrieks of the unfortunate squaw.
The Indians approved of the murder.
and prevented the officers from obtaining
enough evidence to warrant an arrest
Recently white trader learned the true
facts and reported them to the officers
The Indian was apprised, built himself a
stone fortress, and armed himself with a
long range rife.
One of the revenue cutters anchored near
him one day, but for some reason did not
land any men, which doubtless prevented
bloodshed, as the red fiend was ready to
meet an attack. Through strategy he was
betrayed into the hands Of the officers and
taken to Sitka, where he is confined in Jail.
The woman is said to have been his fifth

Peculiar Suit nc Law Appealed to the Ioy

Eecnliar suit at Law Appealed to the Iowa
Supreme Court.
New HAMPTON. la, Feb. 16.-A very
peculiar lawsuit involving a pom which
seems to have never been decided by
any court in Iowa, has be q oa trial
here for the past week. I. -. Weller,
ex-congressman, also well known as
99Calamity'' Weller, ownssa farm a mile
4 twoesouth of town. He had a certain
amount of hay insured in the Chicka-
saw Farmers Insurance company last
season. The Chicago Great Western
abroad crosses q corner OF his farm, and
dpring the dry weather last summer, q
was started that consumed an
n0usat &c hay valued at 500. The nail,
rood company paid his claim and a day
s. two later the insurance company
settled.
When the insurance company learned
of his having also received pay for his
hay from the railroad they began action
to ecove the 500 paid by them. His
defense was that he was entitled to pay
for damages caused by the railroad
company's neglect, also for the amount
OF insurance because he had paid a
premium for such insurance. Judge
Fellows decided absolutely against
Weller and gave a Judgment for the
amount Of insurance paid. The case has
been appealed to the supreme court.

be taken, whereby all lands, the title to
svhich remain in the national government,
Including abandoned lands, shall be
steamed and taken care of at government
expense.
Resolved, further, That, in our opinion,
the conditions prevailing in some of the
