all precedent to order a big hunt I'M
til there was snow on the ground and
ice in the river, the victim had con-
siderable length of time to attend to
his sore thumbs and acquire better
understanding of the disadvantages of
being an up-to-date witch, unknown
to oneself and friends.
But this little boy had a better
chance for his life than had his prede-
cessors in witchcraft, for the sudden
rush Of gold seekers toward the Can
adian Klondike landed within twenty
miles Of little Joe's home fully 1000
civilized gold seekers, 200 Canadian
soldiers. and fine body Of provincial
police under the command of w. H.
Bullock Webster, and, the matter COM
ing to the knowledge of the latter,
murder was prevented. Mr.. Webster
sent after the parties concerned in the
affair. The officers brought back lit
tie Joe. but not his self-appointed exc
cutioner, but an Indian runner for
monetary consideration found Lolli
and brought him into camp, acconpa-
MED by leading Tyres Of the tribe.
Lolli was arraigned before Magistrate
Webster at Telegraph Creek Aug. Is,
1898. The services of an Interpreter
was secured and under the influence
Of proper questioning Lolli deposed as
follows:
My name Is Lolli; am Tahltan In
dian; have declared for hunt at which
Joe Cullihan is to be disemboweled by
me and his body sunk in Stikine, for
having bewitched a girl In our tribe.
I believe in witchcraft. My tribe has
always believed in witchcraft and exc
cuted witches. l do not know It is
wrong. believe 1t is right"
Magistrate Webster of Vancouver, B.
c., gave Lolli lecture on the enorm-
ity of the crime he was about to COM
NIT. He also gave him ninety days in
jail at Telegraph Greek in which to
consider the main points of the leo
ture.
Joe, the witch, dressed in his first
suit Of American clothes, and first pair
of shoes, is absorbing knowledge and
government food at the Indian school
at Metlakatla, B. C. Lolli, the witch
executioner of this day and age, will
be out Of Jail this month, unrepentant,
but resolved to move hereafter in
more mysterious ways his executions
to perform.

He felt It would be tribe irregular,
however, and dismissed the thought q
he became moro ct ease under the In
huence Of her smiling eyes. He en-
deavored repeatedly to lead up to the
point in question. but in vain, for she
was altogether oblivious to the trend
Of his thoughts. At length they spoke

look In her eyes.

cipitately. ''but before decide there Is

She was still smiling dreamily, but
turned to him with look of interest.
Her silence gave him courage; she
seemed to await his next words.
1T is story of love, of my love for
you." he said, desperately, taking her
hand.
She withdrew 1t quickly, with look
of dismay, seeing he was terribly In
earnest.
Twill you hear it?" he continued,
mistaking her CONSERVATION for coy
ness.
"Is 1t possible that you have not
heard-that you did not receive my
note announcing that"
Announcing what?" he demanded
in amazement.
"My engagement to Morris Book
Leigh" she replied. with happy smile.
He sailed for Vienna the next Sat
urday.

Witchcraft did not perish from
American soil with the last witch
burning of Salem. Away up in Brit
ish Columbia, where the Stikine river
flows too shallow to float the f1atboats
of the miners of Glenora and Tele-
graph Creek, a witch boy is killed with
terrible torture for every man or
woman who dies natural death. And
this is among Indians whom civ1liza-
ton has marked for its own. Where
belle has risen to silk shirt waists,
and parasols, and where the braves
wear patent-leather shoes and jewelry.
For civilization is OF the outward
appearance. and 1t does not reach the
deep. black superstitions of the Ia
hltan people. While the coming Of the
white mantle miner Of the Klon-
dixie, with his freight to be packed
has brought the comforts Of compare

vantages of civilized dress. food and
horses, 1t has not been extended to
the point that includes morals and re-
ligion. Along these paths they have
made no progress. They buy and sell
their wives and children; they practice
their heathenish religious rites, their
medicine and witch dances; they be-

friend Of Desculta's offered to hello
him md the murderer and they start
ed OF on their wildgoose chase. The
treacherous guide led him by one spot
where. twenty. feet away. an Indian
woman was scraping the bloody snow
from the spot where the murder was
committed; led him by the tepee
where Desculta was gathering his pos
sessions together preparatory to going
into an enforced retirement; led him a
days march in the wrong direction,
and then admitted that Desculta must
have escaped.
For two years Desculta has been a
wanderer on the face of the earth, liv-
ing on what he can kill and the roots
he can dig. He dare not mingle with
the other Indians, for they would be-
tray him to the authorities. He dare
not trust himself with the members
Of his own tribe.
There have been other executions
among the Tahltans for the crime of
witchcraft, even within few months.
In August, 1893. an Indian girl died
at Tahltan village. Before her death
she confessed that she had been be-
witched, and declared that little Joe
Cullihan, a 12-year-old orphan, who
was purchased years ago by the Coast
Indians, was the boy that bewitched
her. OF course, Joe denied the accu-
sation, but the girl died, and that
proved her story, according to the In
dian belief. An Indian named Lolli
took upon himself the right to meet
out fate to little Joe, and tied the boy
up by his thumbs. according to the
best methods of the tribe AS snow
would not arrive for at least sixty
days and as 1t would be contrary to
