W|TCHCRAFT EXISTS
 AMONG NATIVES

That witchcraft still exists among the natives of Alaska was brought out in the United States district court be- fore District Attorney J. A. Smiser at Juneau recently.
 witchcraft among the natives of Kill lisnoo was made some time ago to w. C. Beattie, superintendent of native schools for Alaska. An investigation in the Killisnoo village led Superin- tendent Beattie to bring a number of the tribe to Juneau for examination by District Attorney Smiser, with the re- suit the witch was found, but no law could be found on which to base com plaint against him.
 From the testimony of the witnesses examined before the district attorney, the story of the witchery centers around a blind man, his 15-year- daughter and her grandmother. For several months the blind man has been announcing himself as a witch, and has claimed responsibility for prac- tically all the deaths that have oc- cured in the village of Killisnoo for the past five years.
