BURIED ALIVE.
Medicine Man Causes Intermsnt
of Boy Who Became a Christian

Seattle, Wash, Feb. la.-The steamer
Dirigo. which arrived from Alaska yes
terday brings news that Chilkoot Indians
near Hinsmission, Alaska. on Feb. 5. bur-
fed alive one OF their tribe boy Is years
OF age. The boy had been converted 10
Christianity and in a burst OF religious
zeal denounced the mummeries OF the
tribal Icht, or medicine man
This act aroused the anger OF the su-
perstitious old men OF the tribe. Recently
IA native residents of the village of Kluck-
wan died OF consumption and the icht
spread the belief that the boy, I'm league
with the evil one. through his knowledge
OF the white mans religion, caused the
deaths.
Missionary Sellon, noting the absence Of
the boy from school, instituted a search.
AT the outskirts OF the village he found
tracks leading 10 a fresh grave. Digging
down, he found the boy still alive his
blood-shot eyes rolling i'm insane agony;
his hair torn in handfuls from his head
His finger nails were torn off in his efforts
to escape from his horrible prison.
The boy was lifted from the grave and
carried to the village where he lived sew
eral hours bowling and crying out like
a maniac, finally dying from the effects
OF suffering and fright. The icht, who Is
responsible for the crime is Skun boo. an
old offender who spent term in San
Quentin penitentiary for causing an old
woman to be starved to death in 1894.

The danger from smallpox which con-
fronts this community is not one OF
imagination, conjecture, or born OF franc
tic fright. II is a fact and time alone
will decide whether the vigilance OF the
health authorities has been sufficient to
avert an epidemic of the pestiential dis
ease.
Dr.. Chaplin is not unnecessarily alarm
ing the public when he urges an imme-
diate and general vaccination.
Woonsoclet and Boston threaten this
city on the north and northeast, FalI
River on the southwest and several
smallpox centres exist between Woon-
socket and Boston, from which the dis
ease can be brought to this city by cleo
trio and steam cars
Added 10 these known smallpox locali-
ties there is the walking pest. the per-
ambulat!ng tramp, who neither knows
cleanliness nor seeks TO avoid contagion;
who sleeps where nightfall finds him, and
consorts with any and all persons. and
at daybreak seeks food and shelter i'm
another town. carrying with him, per-
chance. the germs OF disease.
Three out of the last five cases of
smallpox discovered in this city were
brought here by tramps. the latest being
that Of William Hibbitts. more familiar
ly known TO the local police as "Old Bill"
Hibbitts was sent to the Fields Point
hospital last evening. lie is a jeweler
by trade and comes OF a good family,
but frequent 'libations have made him
forgetful of family ties and other good
things and he has been up several times
for petty larccnies.
The discovery of Hibbitts' condition
was accompanied by features which have
aroused a sentiment not particularly
favorable 20 the physician who reported
ha al for III
the same Is not withheld.
INCREDIBLE INDIFFERENCE.
That a man believed TO have smallpox
should be allowed not only to go free
but that he should be sent To the city
hall, permitted TO wander through the
principle highways, surrounded by shop
peTs and others. seems almost incredible
In fact II Is classed by some as almost
criminally indifferent 10 the welfare of
the community. Yet this was done In
Hibbitts' case.
About 4:30 o'clock the health depart
ment at the city hall was called up by
telephone and a Dr. Barnes, Of Chestnut
street.so Il is reported at that office today,
said that he had sent a man 10 the City
hallewhom he suspected OF having small
pox and that the man ought To be there
within Is minutes.
There was bad quarter hour in Or.

the contamination of occupants of the
City hall there was that OF whoever might
chance 10 run against the patient, whose
wanderings might be through devious
paths and cause him 20 visit several sa-
looms: or he might get aboard a street

BRINGS ITS LESSON.
Coal Strike Will Cause Stringent
Antitrust Legislation.
No Constitutional Amendments Necessary
and Criminal Clause VIII Probably
Be Added to Provisions OF the
Present Bill.

Washington, Oct. 21.-One effect OF
the coal strike and the methods
chiefly employed in its settlement will
undoubtedly be the consideration OF
legislation by the coming session OF
congress looking to the correction
of existing defects in the laws that
were framed for meeting such condi-
tions as those which have prevailed
in the anthracite regions for nearly
six months. That there will be legis-
lation looking to the correction OF
trust abuses is now accepted with
out question. Attorney General Knox
has made it plain that an amend
ment to the constitution is not nee
essary to provide means of reach
ing the trusts and it is now expected
that the public sentiment aroused by
the operations of the coal trust, the
meat combine and other combine
tons of that character, will compel
congress to take action.
An effort will be made to amend
the antitrust law, so as to bring into
force the criminal features, which,
for some reason, have been allowed
to remain imperative, though section
2 of the act of 1890 fixes a fine
of $4,000 or one years imprisonment,
or both, for every person who shall
monopolize or attempt to monopolize
or combine or conspire with any 9th.
er person or persons to monoplize
any part of the trade or commerce
among the sereval state, etc. If buy
ing up the coal mines and operat-
ing them in connection with railroads
under system of freight rates which
precludes competition does not come
within this provision of law an at
tempt will be made to frame law
which will meet the case.
