and that six horn1 which he had , rounding, Hi 1 Win tthle to deter-intlicti-d
with the evil npirit tlitnl 1 mimic, tlio ucviipod witch. For
during the jmst moon, and to cap, half an hour they made no inovo
the climax a MtjKoe of a chief ment, when the chief mudie.ino
wan then very -sick and would die ! man aitwe nnd utartetl a little lire,
if the witcli vn not dii-covered ! which put forth little Hume but a
nnd nut out of tho way. He hesi-
tated H)iiu'wlmt before adniittino
... -
that the upectcd c.ulpirit hail
been arrcoted, nnd that the medi
cine men of the trihe would hold
a council that afternoon to pass
uiHUi hi guilt or innoceiibe. I
could not induce Juan to allow me
to attend the council, but at lust
lie promised he would return ait
noon as the iuipiinition was over
ami inform mo of the rouilt.
It was probably in tho hope of
further presents that .1 linn ret i in
etl according to apK)intment, and
in the geiitcntions manner cnarae -
tertbtic of the Indian iicpiaiutcl
me Willi tne hituaiion: "iiim
heap bad; go to hell quick. Hi
full i'iiiii witch." It is an inoxc
1111
xor-
able law of tlie Piiinin thai when
ever one of their number is pro
nounced to he hewitehod he shall
be put lo death, as his prenenee
thrcateiH the lives of all with
whom he comes in contact. The
manner of the execution is partic
ularly inhuman mid barbarous.
The "poor victim of fanatic Mipcr
klilinu ha, his hands t-ccuroly
hoiiud behind him, while thongs
aboxe thu knees present him from
running with any degree of speed.
Ho is tlien turned looi-e, to be elub
Llid to death or pelted with stones
till life is extinct by squaws of the
triU-. who take fiendish delight in
the performance of their repulsive
work, while the men stand ly
hhriuking anil applauding while
the torture is being inllicted.
Knowing these facts nnd appre
ciating that it would be futile in
tne to make any elfort to mivo tho
life of the unfortunate Indian - I
inquired when the witch would be
kilhd.
"Him no die. Iliui say medi
cine man dam lie. He go moun
tain, bhow medicine man heap lie,
him nodie. I'gh!"
Fmui this language, which to
one unacquainted with the Indian
would naturally prove quite incom
prehensible, I was able to under
taml that tlx w itch va entitled
to a right of appeal of Mime sort,
and that the test of the wisdom
ami justice of the decision of the
llieoiciuo uieii wi.j io oc mane un
the mountains near Montezuma's
bond; probably on Snerilieinl Peak.
As .limn told uui that the matter
was to be settled the next (lay, I
silently icsolved to witness that
which' I had lensoti to imagine
would be ii very unusual and pecu
liar proceeding of a very primitive
nice.
Long before sunrise the follow
ing morning I saddled my riding
. . . I! ... I i i
horse, and, taking with mo a pros-
pector's hand pick, u cantet
in of
water and a good pair of Hold glass
e.t, started lor the mountain rang
From lire vious research
was
convinced that it would be iuqios
sible for me to bide mynelf from
the oli.ei valion of the Indians on
the lop of Sucrilicial Peak, ami
theiefore resolved to i-eeure a sta
ti ui on ome adjacent ridge, where,
without being feen myn'lf, I woiihl I
be able to watch all the mow-incuts
i f the I'ima '. Whee I arrived at J
the range I tethered my horo in a
place vv here he would not be likely
to be noticed and begun climbing
on,' thu loose rocks with which 1
the uioiintaiii sides were covered,
lin.dly reaching the. summit and se
curing a ioition nboiit UUD j.trd-ea-i
of Sacrificial Peak, and at a
gn it r elevation. My cionehing
l-ehind the largo rocks I would
have an uninterrupted view oT that
point, without the slightest danger
of being observed from it.
After waiting for altoiit an lnnn
my vigil was rewarded by hearing
the monotone sounds of Indian
sing, uud about half mi hour later
some twenty or twenty live Indian..
whom by the mentis of my glass 1
vv.it ublc to recognize h the chief,
iiuiiiciii ' men ami prominent im-n
of tl.e trihe, made tliuir ajipemauee
on the summit uf the peak. It
was thou about U o'clock in the
morning nnd very warm the
mouth lieing .May' and the lazy
I'iiua seemed omuwhat overcome
ns the result uf thoir exertions in
making the precipitious ascent.
They sut down in a circle sur
. heavy volume of Miioko. After
the liinoko nroie in sulllclent tpinn
titic he began fitiitiing it in diirer
ent directioin by iihiiiih of a blank
et, breaking forth in a weird, mo
iiotouotin chant, the refrain of
which wn taken up by all the In-
Minus presont. On the Hide of the
, peak which 1 was facing aroee a
j sheer precipice fully 'J00 feet high
. from which tit n dintnncc of about
, forty feet from the top, a ledge of
rockn, perhnp twenty feet in
width, projected. An tho nong
reached it height two I'imu step-
, k-vi io tne euge uiul negan hurling
riHMis ukjii the Iwlge below, uutl I
could also see the others were do
ing something with the prisoner.
In u few inriuteH the nnfortunnto
ictiin walked liruily to tho preci
pice, standing as erect 1 1 s a boldier
on dress jiaiiele and giving no evi
dence of trepidation or dismay,
lie was entiiely stripped of hts
clothing and was a beautiful spec
imen of physical manhood, whom,
to my horror, 1 momentarily ex
pected to see hurled from tho
mighty bluir it to eternity. My
surprint', however, was gi'ently ex"
cited when I saw him mm! himnelf
on the edge of the precipice and
i-wing gently into the air, being
sii-pended by a stout rope which
w as altaclu d lo -!nijm around the
breast, under the arnit and over
the -liolllili i, all f.'ii-teued together
at the shoulder blades, where it
would be imporsihlo for him to
reach the knot w ith his free hands.
Several more ns-ks were hurled
down iik)ii the ro-ky ledge, and
then all was silent. While I wait
ed suboqueiit de elopmenls in
painful suspen-c, in order to de
termine the object of the strange
actions of the Indians, the unfort
unate w retch win being slowly and
eaiefully loweietl to liis fate, and
when but a few feet from the pro
jecting rocki I In ai-tl a sound re
sembling OM-ajeng steam from a
distant engine, l iving my glass-e-
Umii the place where he would
soon step, 1 noticed that the little
rocky shelf seemed to he in motion,
(ireat heaven! Such awful de-
i pr.tvity of hum m nature, such
sickening ami humble atrocity I
coiiiu not witness,
uiti not wisuess, and I turned
my hew I away from the revolting
sight. The poor Indian wa buing
lowered into a den uf thousands
and thousands uf loathsome, writh
ing, venomous rnltlcauiikcj, made
blindly mad by the nicks thrown
upon them, and were waiting for
revenge to strike his naked hotly
when it came vvithin reach --and
the
hissing sound I
heard !I00
yards away, were signals of warn-
ing. I he RMir recourse of seeking
a preferable death by plunging
over the elilf was denied the
wreleh, for the six slalwart bucks
who held the rope above would
