1 Bared by Canadian Mounted Police
Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 26.—A
weird tale of witchcraft, torture
and murder came over the wires

tribesmen.
The superstitions of the religion
taught the Indians that some one
of their number, some sorcerer, and

evil spirit, had brought calamity
upon the tribe. Suspicion fell upon
the youth, Atol.
Led by the aged squaw the tribes

found him mumbling strange words
over his tiny wqod fire, and ? laid
hands on him. They tied himwo a

him hang for days, slowly dying.

the mounted police and one of its
members set forth to bring the
slayers to justice.
