INDIAN CREMATION MUST STOP.

Some time ago the agent and other officers In
charge Of the Yumn reservation asked the braves
To roirHin from burning the houses Of the dead
They showed how easy It would be for a IRE 10

But. Inhsmuch as the personal property ~ a
deceased person belongs TO the heirs by the Cali
foInia law, there Is doubt that jealous friends
overstepped the law when they cremated every
thing the dead Indian had ever owned
The practice OF the Yuma Indians In burning
their dead. together with the possessions left by
the departed braves, has aroused the federal au.
