Killed by Indians
Who Slew Husband
UKIAH. Cal., Dec. 7.-Just when she believed she had found out the men who had slew her husband, the widow of the chief of the Yokayo Indian tribe, was killed herself, presumably by the same men who killed the chief. After a year of spying and plotting the squaw found an opportunity at a dance on the reservation near this city Saturday night to serve liquor to the suspected men. When partly intoxicated they began to discuss the chief's death. Then, fearing the squaw would betray them, they strangled her to death. Her body was found yesterday morning in a lonely cabin.
