Chief No Shirt believed his malady
was caused by an evil spell cast over
him by She-lowhe-t fanny, an old In

Umatilla reservation.
All Indians of the Northwestern
tribes at one time were believers in

animals and inanimate things with
souls or spirits, which were not in
separable from the objects to which
they belonged. Whenever an Indian
boy was born he was given a we've

which he derived his ''weyekin" was
sacred to him forever. Through his
'weyekin" the old Indian believed it
possible for him to work evil upon
another person, providing his ''weye-
kin" was more powerful than the
'weyekin" OF his enemy.
Old Chief No Shirt believed She

chief. His own "weyekin" was not
strong enough to overcome that Of
the medicine man and he told his
people that unless She-low- ne tam

chief must die.
The medicine man is thought TO
have superior ability in the control
of his "weyekin" and in getting its
assistance. He works entirely by alb

his "weyekin,' by tom-toms and other
