WITGHERy II SWT FOR:
YEARS 111 KiLLISNOO
Ketchikan Progressive Minor: In
this twentieth century it is difficult
for the white man to realize that a
really substantial belief in witch
craft can still exist among the na
tives as closely associated with civ
ilizatiou as are the natives of the
village of Killisnoo. And yet, for
the past six years there has been
goius; on In that village a sories of
so-called witchcraft performances
which finally culminated in a thor
ough investigation of the. matter b>"
W. G. Beattie, superintendent of na
tive schools, and District Attorney
J. A. Smiser.
Mr. Beattie stated today that ho
is not yet in a position to divulge
the exact nature of tho present case
but stated that at Killisnoo witch
craft has been practiced for somo
thine like six years and that it has
b»au fonnd necessary to investigate
the situation thoroughly in an of
fer* to dispel the effects of a
psychological situation known to
the Thllnkets as witchery.
When asked if tho idea of Witch
craft was not rather out of date
in this 20th century, Mr. Beattie re
plied "It may seem so to tho 20 th
century white man, but it must be
remembered that the native is no*
a 20th century person In the mat
ter of civilization.

"continued Mr. Beattie, "Is one of
the most difficult problems 'wo
have to handle among the natives.
The existence o£ witches is a cer
tainty with them, and there is abso
lutely no possibility of convincing
them that there are 110 such things I
as witches. It Isn't Btubboraess
on their part, is simply and sincere
j ly their "belied that there are ixmong
their tribesmen, persons who have
(power to cast a spell over others of
their number."
I In answer to the question "What
direction does their practice of
witch-craft usually take ?" Mr.
Beatfle said: "Well, we'll assume,
for instance tLat some member of
the village community has a sore
throat. After a little while he will
go to see an Indian doctor about it,
ami the doctor will tell him that
someone has bewitched him.
"The process of casting a spell
over a person usually takes a course
something like this: The 'witch will
catch some animal, or It may be a
bird and strangle it by tying around
its neck a piece ©X the clothing of
thf» man whom he> wishes to bewitch.
The thing of course dies and it is
then hidden away somewhere With
in a certain number of days after |
thaf, thf bewitched person dies. The
only way in which a spell may be
cast off is by securing this animal
or bird and throwing It into the
salt water. Simply burying it does
no pood, according to the Indian
legend. And since the tool of the
witch Is usually hidden very secure
ly, there Is very little ehaneg for
the bewitched to free himself from
the charm.
"Tne whole tiling Is, of course
purely a psychological situation,
and savors to a certain degree of
hypnotism. But it has a firm grip
on the' Alaskau native—not only
upon the uueducated ones, but as
well upon those who have had op
portunity to secure more or less
education and who- have been more
or less closely nsociated with white
people."
If any definite clues can be dis
covered in connection with the ICill
isnoo affair, an investigation will
be instituted by the government No
announcement has yet been made
in this connection, but it Is expect
ed that a complaint will be filed
within the next few days.

Will you help them?

was so sore and lame that I could
hardly move. I noticed the pains
more in the morning than at any
time. I had headaches and dizzy
spells and black specks appeared be
fore my eyes. Some times I could
hardly sleep from nervousness and
was all run down, I felt tired
and languid, had trouble from the
kidney secretions and my blader
was Inflamed. Doan's Kidney Pills
went to the root of the trouble at
once and gave me great relief."
