ESKIMOS KILL THEIR SIRE
TO SAVE HI FROM PI
N ..
WAINWRIGHT, Arctic, Aka., March
S.? (Special.)? That the custom
among the Eskimos of making away
with helpless invalids and the aged
to whom life has become a burden
Is not yet altogether abandoned, is
proved by at least two instances dur
ing the present year. The last case
has just been reported from the Col
vllle river country. An old man
TlUemut was the willing victim of
this custom that runs back through
ages of the dim, legendary history of
these people.
Tillemut was an old man. For
years he had carried more than his
share of tuberculosis. The wonder
ful vitality of these people enables
them to resist this dread disease for
many years, sometimes for half a
century. But It was telling on this
old man. He lay on his bunk and
coughed miserably, and he know that
he would never be well again. So he
called his children around him and
told them that he wanted to die. He
reached for the old Hudson Bay gun
that he had carried since boyhood,
fie cocked it and handed it to his
eldest son, telling him to put him
out of pain. But the boy had been
told by the whites somewhere that It
was a sin to kill in this way, and he
refused to grant his father's last re
quest. The others also refused.
Then the aged Tillemut took the
weapon, placed the muzzle in his
mouth, and touched the trigger with
his toe.
On the Russian Dlomede, an is
land in Bering strait, another old
man met death in a somewhat
similar manner. In this Dlomede
case, however, the sons obeyed the
father Implicity. This was the reg-l
i lar old Eskimo death. There was no
shooting. It was in a large igloo,
the roof of which is supported in the;
middle by a stout beam. To this
beam the boys fastened a strip of
walrus skin, at the end of which dan
gled a noose. They helped their
father to the edge of the bunk, fas
tened the noose about his neck, and
let him swing off his high bed and
strangle to death.
These people are not cruel. No
more affectionate people can be found
in the world than the Eskimos. Blows
are seldom struck; harsh words are
seldom uttered. But until quite re
cently the ending of hopeless suffer
ing by suicide by killing the pa
tient was the universal rule all over
the Arctic world. To kill a suffering
relative or friend was considered an
act of kindness and mercy, just as
we consider it an act of mercy to
kill animals we know cannot recover.
This may recall the Spartan par
tuts who left their weak or deformed
children on the mountain side to die.
But such cruelty is unknown In Es
kimo society ? the children here are
sacred and the most unfortunate and
misshapen are given the tenderestj
care. Nevertheless when death was
plainly approaching and the sufferer
asked to be relieved, his request was
always granted. Even infants were
thus put out of pain. Although there
is none of the conspicuous demonstra
tion of grief that characterizes the
saddest moments of a more impulsive
people, the sorrow for the dead In an
Eskimo household is Just as bitter
as in any refined home in the world.
In spite of the ruling white man's
ideas concerning the taking of life in
this way, the Eskimos still more than
half believe In it. The ordinary
death is reported as follows: "He
died himself." This means that
"he" died without the affair's being
hurried along either by his own hand
or that of a friend or relative. ? Seat

Jealous of her husband's interests,
Mrs. Felix Pedro yesterday attempted
to stop A. L. Hanot from further op
erating on discovery, Pedro creek,
which is jointly owned by Pedro and
Hanot, by appearing with a rifle and
ordering Hanot and his men off the
claim.
Mrs. Pedro first appeared in the
engine room and warned the engineer
J. C. Woods, to quit the place, and
i pon his refusal to obey, the woman j
procured a rifle and the assistance
C her nephew armed in a similar
manner and forced Woods to vacate
without giving Mm a chance to even
close the bolle. and get his hat and
coat. Josh Vance, of this city, who
was visiting with Woods was accord
ed the same treatment and did not
>P to argue with the lady.
When he heard of the occurance,
hanot sought to Interfere, but when
confronted with the array of arms,
thought better of it and hunted up
adeputy marshal.
When Captain Donovan arrived,
both Pedro and the nephew had left
tor town, but he found the woman
and brought her in, arriving here late
yesterday afternoon.
Since the marriage of Pedro to his
present wife, an estrangement has
sprung up between him and his part
ner Hanot, which finally resulted In
Hanot beginning an action to dissolve
the partnership. ? Tanana Tribune.
