Medicine Men are
 Held For Murder

Two Indian medicine men of the Koyukuk district were arrested early in the week, each charged with the murder of white man. The arrest followed the filing of secret indictments by the grand jury at Ruby, where the prisoners are being taken by Deputy Marshal Berg
 One of the Indians arrested is known as "Old Jimmy" and he is charged with having killed a white man, whose name is unknown, on the Yukon river, below Louden. The body is alleged to have been buried back of cabin which has since been washed away. The crime is alleged to have been committed in 1904.
 The other Indian is known as Toby and the evidence presented in his case is to the effect that he killed an unknown white man in August. 1905, on the Koyukuk river The body was then placed in canoe and fire set to it. Some of the bones of the dead man have been recovered.
 That other Indians have known of the murders since they were com- mitted was discovered upon inves'i- eation, but until recently they re- fused to say anything about them, believing that the medicine men would bring bad luck to them if the truth was made known.
