BURIED A BOT ALIYE.
Awful Crime cf Cbllkoet Indian In
Alaska.
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 19.
A special from Seattle, "VTash.,
says: . "The steamer Dirige,
which has arrived -from Alaska,
brings news that Chilkoot In
dians near Hins's Mission, Alas
ka, buried aliye one of their tribe,
boy fifteen years otage. The
boy had been conyerjed to Chris
tianity by Milo A Sellon, a meth
odist missionary, and in a burst
ofrligiou zeal denounced th
mummeries of the tribal medi
cine men. -
This act aroused the anger of
the superstitious old men of the
tribe. Recently fourteen native
residents of the village of Kluck
wan died of consumption, and this
spread the belief that the boy,
in league with the evil one
through his kcowledge of the
white man's relifdon, caused the
deaths.
The disappearance of the boy
from' school aroused the suspic
ions of Mr. Sellon, and he start
ed in search. At the outskirts of
the village he found tracks lead
ing to a fresh grave. Digging
down he found the boy stil1 alive,
his bloodshot eyes rolling in in-
sanv agony; his hair torn in
handsful from his head. His
finerer nails -were torn off in his
efforts to escape from his hor
rible prison.
The boy was lifted from the
grave and carried to the village,
-where he lived several hours,
howling and crying out like a
maniac and .then dying from the
effects of suffering, and fright.
The man "who ii responsible for
the act is Skun Doo, an old of
fender, who spent a term fa San
Quent'n penitentiary for causing
on old woman to be starred to
death in 1894..
