Papago Indian Executed for Witchcraft

The body of a Papago Indian tied to the tail of a wild horse has been found by army officers near Yuma, Arizona. The murder of the Indian it is believed can be traced to his fellow tribesmen, five of whom have been arrested. Evidence is strong that the victim was accused of witchcraft by his fellows and this strange mode was taken by them for his execution.
