Wednesday, October Q, 1906. The
day Is warm. Two men were sent
to the village with a quantity of ar
ticles to purchase food. We are now
reduced to roots. which produce
violent pains in the stomach. Our

we killed one of the horses to eat,
and provide soup for the sick.
The village spoken of was across
the Clearwater at Ahsahka, where a
large number of Indian families re-
sided at the time The NezPerces
were very much more numerous then
than now, all along the Clearwater
valley. Later the white mans dis
eases got among them, which car
ried them off very rapidly. Their
habit of taking sweats, in the sweat
houses they had and jumping into
cold water, was akin to committing
suicide for measles, and some other
contagious diseases. But. be IL TO
the credit of the NezPerces, owing
to the drastic punishment admins
tered among them, very little We
nereal disease ever troubled them.
While on the coast some tribes be-
came almost exterminated thru 1ts
loathsome and virulent nature.
In 1847 measles broke out among
the Indians a Ahsahka. and As died
of it. This was large part of the
population at the time. The ances-
tors of some of the Indians living
now at Ahsahka lived elsewhere al
the time.
