ABERDEEN Wash, Nov. IA.
PD-John Wakatup, probably the last
of the real Quinalt Indians, who for
years was a government Judge among
his tribesmen, died recently on the
tribes reservation near here. Kakat-
ups followers said he was more than
100 years old although government
records gave his age at ST.
The tribal burial acCroded the aged
leader was simple and according to
Quinalt customs. The day after the
body was discovered in the cabin
where the Judge had lived for years, it
was prepared for interment While the
members of the tribe looked on, the
body was carried i'm canoe across the
Quinalt river, famous as an Indian
fishing ground, and deposited in the
aEc-old cemetery beside the grave of
chief Taholah. famous as a warrior
in the annals of the Quinalt tribe.
Services of any kind marked the de-
posit of the body in its shallow grave.

monument erected by the Indians to
