Indians Starved Their Companions

Indians Starved Their Companions.

Tacoma, Wash.,Nov.28-United States Commissioner Folsom, Marshal Hepburn and Prosecuting Attorney Lyons have returned to Juneau from Hoonah, where they held inquests over the remains of the starved Indians. The redskins had been starved to death by their tribesmen because they were thought to be bewitched. One was tied to a tree and compelled to stand eight days and nights without food under heavy rains, the object of their treatment being to exercise the evil spirits of which he was thought to be possessed. The federal officers placed the entire tribe under arrest during the investigation. Four members, found directly responsible for the barbarities, were taken to Juneau under charges of murder.
