Spotted Tu1l's Braces.
rur ANNrAr cTYH DANrT

YANKToN, D. T., June 2l.-The young men at
Spotted Tails camp are just concluding their
annual sun dance and the barbarous festival
has been one of more than ordinary success.
Forty-eight candidates passed through the ter
rible ordeal of self torture. and are entitled to
full diplomas of warrioas of unqucstioned
bravery. The candidate for honors cut two
longitudinal Sits down each breast one end of
a lariat is passed under the strip of skin and
the flesh left between the incision and lightly
tied. The other end is made fast to
tho top Of high pole. The candidate then
throws himself backwards with his weight
upon the lariat and the dance goes on until
the flesh gives way. Should he fail to break
loose in the manner prescribed: should he
faint during the operation, he is forever dis
graced The sun dance, just closed, was held
about fifty miles back from the Missouri river
and was witnessed by about 1000 Indians and
twenty-five whites. Old Spotted Tail was
master of ceremonies, and from
the efficient manner in which he
performed kis inoantations and hourished his
mystic wand from which dangled the scalp of
a woman, one would not suppose him to
be the civilized red man who is carried upon
the Government pay roll. Once a year Spot
has his fun. The sun dance has closed and the
Spotted Tails Indians are now ready for
government to move them to new agency.
John Gimwell Is years Of age, residing in
Yankton, was kicked to death by an Indian
pony Wednesday.
