THE WITCHES
OF NAMBE
An Interesting Episode in the
History Of Santa fe County
Fifty Years Ago.
FOUR VICTIMS HANGED
The Late Archbishop Lamy Arrived Too
Late to Prevent the Cruel
Execution.

Rev. A. Jouvenceau, well known in
Santa Fe, makes the following inter-
esting contribution to the history OF
Santa Fe County in the September
number of the Catholic Pioneer, in
describing the witchcraft delusion at
the Indian pueblo of Nambe in Santa
Fe County, situated not far from the
picturesque Nambe Falls of which a
picture is reproduced above:
An Epidemic OF Small Pox.
In March 1855, an epidemic OF black
small pox was prevailing amongst the
Indians of the Nambe pueblo which is
situated twenty-five miles north of
Santa Fe. Many Indians died, chill
dren and adults were indiscriminately
stricken by the plague and the terror
was great in the pueblo. One night,
two Indians named Jose and Eulogio
Trujillo were chatting in the moon
shine, at the foot of the ladder which
led to their house, and discussing the
alarming situation of the village,
when they saw another Indian named
Tihue coming out from Juana Chavezs
house, a notorious character in the
pueblo. The man dug hole in the
ground, in which he placed a bunch
of feathers. The strange action OF
Tihue elected closer attention from
the two observers. Drawing nearer
to him, they watched him, whilst ne
was drafting on the sand the plan o.
some building. The man was whisper
ing some mysterious sounds Whlcf
could not be understood by the two
witnesses. The idea struck them a
once that Tihue was witch, and with
out moments hesitation, they tool
him by force and brought him before
the governor of the pueblo to have
the case investigated. The declara
tion of the Trujillo brothers led tn
lgoyernor to believe that Tihue wa

A general meeting of the ancients AM

to be crow feathers, symbol of ever,

and acknowledged that he had brougf
