Must Cure Patients

with the finding of the BODY of
Neophrata. the Weitspekan medicine
woman, in lonely canyon fifty miles
north Of this city, and more than 200
miles from her native village. ends a
most interesting story, the first chan
yer OF Wnlcn had its beginning two
years ago.
A practice in vogue with several
CanIornla tribes is the Staying of the
mediclne man when he shall have lost
third patient. 1t has been the case
heretofore, that when such a cuIrnina-
tien OF affairs has come about the CON
demned person has delivered himself
10 the proper authorities in the tribe
ana his death has been sure and
speedy.
When Neophrata lost her third ma
tlent, two years ago, she determined to
cllng to life, and disappeared from the
village. The finding of her body dis
closed the fact that though absent she
was not forgotten, and also that she
mad peen forced TO undergo terrible
punishment because of her attempt TO
evade the penalty of one of the sacred
laws of the tribe.
Death administered to the medicine
man is usually swift and painless. In
her case 1t was only after terrible for
ture that death came. Her executions

Just tight enough to set close to the
throat without choking her. She was
then laid on the ground where the sun
shine would fail upon her all day. It is
probable-though this is not known
that her executioners remained to keep
watch till the end came that no rescue
should be attempted. As the sun dried
