A recent reference to experiments

ports of even more interesting re-

ticulture may have known all along
that some flowers are almost as

human beings, but the housewife

slightly more marked than that of

Indian Doctor Must
Save Patient or Die

Jibaro Indians. one Of the most
numerous and important Of the
aboriginal tribes of South America,
kill unsuccessful doctors" This is
the custom revealed in. a bulletin
issued by the United States bureau
of American ethnology under the
significant title of Blood Revenge,
War and Victory Feasts." 1t gives
a scientific account of savages in
Ecuador more bloodthirsty than any
that ever trod the pages Of a scent
rovel.
Since supposed sorcery is nearly
always the nearest cause of murders
within the tribe" says the bulletin.
lit Is clear that the professional
sOrcererS or medicine men are those
members of Jibaro society which are
most frequently exposed to the re-
Vengeful attacks of their enemies.
when a medicine man has I'M
dertaken to cure a sick person and
the latter dies in spite of the treat
ment the doctor is also generally
made responsible for the death, the
relatives of the dead reasoning that
the medicine man, instead of curing
the patient, on the contrary used his
art to kill him. The unsuccessful
curer Is therefore murdered unless
he escapes by flight.
Since the Jibaros, on the whole.
do not recognize what we call
natural death. but always attribute
a death to supernatural causes, any
death among them tends to give rise
to murder. the relatives of the de-
ceased considering 1t as their duty
to take revenge upon the supposed
author Of the accident"
When the Jibaro kills his enemy
he desires to infict as large wounds
and to shed as much blood as pos
sible, says the Philadelphia In
quirer. When fighting another
tribe the Jibaro warriors cut off the
heads Of fallen enemies, remove the
skin and hair from the skull and.
after an elaborate process which
shrinks the features. wear the grue-
some trophy suspended from a cord
around the neck as a sort of dis
tinguished service medal.

BY the Associated Press.

ZIEGLER, H., Aug. 19.-Franklin
county authorities today closely
watched the continued efforts of con
sentative miners to resume work.
Meanwhile Sheriff Henry Doris and
deputies from Benton, Ill, near here
were busy serving warrants against %
participants in the riot at a union
meeting last Tuesday, who were
charged with conspiracy.
Precautionary measures were taken
because OF fear that the trouble might
spread out to, other mines in the
county. Sheriff Doris, however. said
that he intended TO request military
aid.
Many miners returned to work
Monday, but scores were quietly re-
pulsed yesterday with the statement
that there will be no work today"
Guns were reported in evidence, but
there was no violence.
Trouble had followed an alleged I'M
authorized strike, called on August 8
by local officials of the United Mines
Workers of America who were dis
posed of by Sub-distriet officers, fol-
lowing the strike. The riot followed
in the fatal wounding of one man ana
many others were injured. 1t had been
precipitated by the shouting Of TIE

at Benton before Justice OF
