SAN BEN1TO. March 28-Ameri-
canization Of the Mexican people
who are in the Lower Rio Grande

problems before the Lower Rio

here Thursday.
Mrs. Ward delivered a talk which
she had male the previous day to
members Of the San Benito Culture
club.
Her talk was entitled What Shall

OF making americans out Of all

The Importance OF teaching the
Mexican immigrants the English

With you Mrs. Ward said. That
I feel It IS the duty Of every one
who lives in the Valley 10 lend his
active support 10 the Rio Grande

Gently formed for the purpose az
protecting the rights Of our Mex!-
can people. and for the purpose Of
promoting better feeling and better
understanding between the two
nations. This organization is the
Dutgrowth OF the movement start
ed BY the American Legion. and
Is o actively supported by every
civic and service club.
Il feel that 10 Is time for the
women's cluo OF the Valley and
especially San Benito. TO acquaint
themselves with this important
problem. We would share equally
with the men in the failures or
successes Of this country, why
shouldn't We share In the responsible
tlities?"

About a year ago SasSafras
Charlie, Nancy's aged Indian hus-
band. died. Nancy-who has con-
fesSed-says that recently Lila
consulted an ouija board and in
formed her that Mrs. Marchand
was a witch. that she had cast an
evil spell that had killed Sassafras
Charlie.
Then. says Nancy. Lila told her
that the spirits had directed her
70 kill this witch so that Sassafras
Charlie would be at rest in the
Happy Hunting Grounds. The aged
Indian woman admits that she
first tried 70 STAY Mrs. Marchand
BY s0rcery. using increasingly
strong methods after each failure.
Withcraft Fails TO Kill
First. on a dark night she burned
some Indian tobacco, meanwhile
muttering incantations to the
spirits. The smoke from the burn
ing tobacco was supposed TO carry
the spirits direct TO the desired
victim where they would enter her
stomach and cause death.
Second, She buried some wooden
and paper dolls-crude effigies of
Mrs. Marchand-in the ground.

yes. ! ask her IL she kill my Charlie
and she say yes"
Sassafras Charlie was a typical
Indian OF the reservation. In the
spring he pe0dled sassafras roots
In Buffalo. In the summer. he sold
wild flowers on q Buffalo street
corner. as did Nancy.
The Indians live by meagre
farming, fishing and basket max
ing.
The pagan Indians live on one
side Of the reservation and the
Christians on the other. The Chris
tians have their little church, sur
rounded by a graveyard with white
crosses. The pagans have their own
cemetery. a short stick protruding
from each grave to guide the spirit
Of the departed to the Happy Hunt
ing Ground.
Before Mrs. Marchand's death
there had not been a witch muir
der" among these Indians since
1921. In that year. a Squaw was
accused Of H1thcraft and convicted
by a tribal council. Awaiting ex-
ecution, she escaped TO Canada.
Braves brought her back and the
old chief plunged a knife through
her heart.
But the story OF a primitive
witchcraft murder In the heart Of
Buffalo is not half as interesting as
the story Of what led up to 1.-THE
strange love affair between Mar

national fame and an Indian girl
