The traders, Indian Asents and farmers
stated that they found these half-civilized
tribes contented, industrious and sober.
Several young women teachers of the
Omaha tribe were met who had been edu-
Gated at Elizabeth, n j., and they gave
evidence of considerable culture. Both
tribes complained that their annNities were
too small and said they wantedindividual

reached in these tribes, and their ideas

Olivet Cemetery, the grave being near the
hedge separating the grounds from those OF
the Catholic Cemetery. About 10 o'clock
at night four resurrectionists appeared on
the spot and leisurely went to work.
The guard at the time was in an
other part of the grounds, but hearing
a noise he quietly fastened up, crouch
ing in the shadows. He came within
few yards of the grave and watched
developments. When the body-snatchers
had worked awhile he suddenly arose with
his gun leveled at them. They started on a
brisk run when he emptied both barrels OF
his heavily loaded shotgun at them, The
resurrectionists leaped the hedge and were
followed to the fence by the guard. A
negro man leaving near heard the party
rush by his house toward wagon on the
road. One of he party dropped, and had
to be carried by the others
The guard returned TO the grave and
found brace and bit, an old well-worn
spade, and gunny bag. In the morning
an examination was made, and blood was
found on the hedge and sod over which the
