He is alleged to have caused his wife's death by beating her on the head. Charles is a full-blooded Indian. His wife was a quarter-breed Indian. Charles woced and won her at the res- ervation in Oregon, brought her, a young girl, to this county to reside less than a vear ago. The couple lived on the McCloud River, eight miles above Baird. The neighbors claimed that the husband beat his wife terribly. Final- ly she died. No one but the husband was present. He buried her last Tues- day withont formality of any kind. Ab- sence of a burial permit is not un- common among the Indians here, but the cecrecy of the burial aroused the suspicions of the neighbors, who de- manded an investigation by the au- thorities. Coroner John Bassett ex- humed the body of the woman yester- day. Dr. C. A. Monroe conducted the post-mortem examination, which show- ed death to have been caused by three severe blows on the head with some blunt instrument. Deputy District At- torney James C.
