An Old Time Natchez Indian Who Re-
fused to Be Sacrificed.

One of the repulSiye features of the
laws under which the Natchez Indians
were governed was that when mem
Der of the royal family of the nation
died it was necessary that several 9th
ers of the people should accompany
him to the tomb by suffering death at
the hands of executioners. When the
"great sum-" the hereditary chief of the
whole nation, died, all his wives, in
case he were provided with more than
one, and also several of his subjects
were obliged to follow him into the
vale of shadows. The little suns, s.
secondary chiefs, and also members of
the royal family likewise claimed when
dying their tribute Of death from the
living. In addition to this, the mex
orable law also condemned to death
any man of the Natchez race who had
married a girl of the royal line of the
suns" On the occasion of her death
he was called upon to accompany her.

this law His name was Etteacteal.
He had contracted an alliance with the
suns The honor came near having a
fatal result for him. His wife fell sick,

was approaching her end he took to
flight, embarking in pirogue on the
Mississippi, and sought a refuge In
New Orleans. He placed himself I'M
