Medicine Man Murdered Over Death of Child in Yakima Region
A violent murder occurred near the Yakima River 85 miles from the city involving Illohee, an elderly medicine man, and Johnny, a 35-year-old tribe member. Johnny, a whiskey drinker, killed Illohee after his daughter's illness failed to improve, using rock blows and drowning the chief in a tepee exit. Coroner and deputies investigated without a jury, noting tribal beliefs about medicine men and past manslaughter outcomes. The piece also reports temperance rally speakers and a Sunday church program with numerous attendees listed.
