Shooting ThOS. GreatOreX.
From the Durango RECORD.

From the Durango RECORD.
This morning, about 3 o'clock, Ma
bel Young and Fat Alice had a quar-
rel in the Coliseum auditorium, and
in short time were pulling each 9TH
er's hair. Tom Lynch and Jack Rob
erts were present and took part in
the atfray, either with the intent OF
separating the parties or for the pur-
pose of aiding one of them. Mr.
GreatoreX, who had attended the en-
tertainment and fingered behind a
few moments after it closed, seeing,
as he supposed, woman in distress,
lnstinctively interfered for the pur.
pose of assisting her out of it, but
had no sooner done so than he was
struck on the head by Jack Roberts
with revolver. The blow knocked
Greatorex down, and stunned him
considerably and before he could
arise Roberts drew his revolver and
deliberately shot him in the back, the
ball entering near the base of the
spine and passing through the sacrum
in downward direction on the left
side. Marshal Healthy, in his efforts
to stop the disturbance, was also
struck on the head with a revolver
by whom he does not know, and
severely injured. Roberts escaped
during the excitement, through side
door, into a hallway which leads to
the rear of the Coliseum building,
and he has not been seen since. Mr..
GreatorcX was laid on table in the
auditorium, bleeding profusely, and
Drs. Plumb and Clay were called,
who at once removed him to the Of
flee of the San Juan Lumber Co., on
Railroad street, where they have
faithfully attended him ever since.
They have bnt little hope for his recov-

cry, although it is barely possible
that he may live. The wound is not
necessarily fatal of itself, but the
shock to his nervous system was very
great, the mhzzle of the revolver be-
ing so close to his person when fired
that his clothes were burned. Every
thing possible is being done for him
and we can only hope for the best.
A reward of $500 is offered by the
leading citizens of Durango, for the
capture of Roberts, dead or alive, and
the chances are that Roberts will be
captured.

THREE FISHERS.

Three fishers went strolling away to the
stream,
To the babbling stream where the fishes
swim.
or speckied beauties they did dream,
And each felt certain they'd bite for him
For men will tramp from morning till night
And suffer the fierce mosquitoes bite,
And drink to stop their groaning.
Three fishers str6lled into the market place
Twas some two hours after the sun went
down
And look of gloom on each mans face,
For at empty baskets they each did frown
For men may fish, but may get no bite,
Aud tired and ugly 90 home at night,
And vent their wrath in groaning.
Three fishers strolled into the beer saloon
Where the crow sat round and the gas was
bright,
Ard each gaily whistled amerry tune,
And each showed fish with assumed de
light,
For men will fish, yea, and men will lie,
And boast Of catching the fish they buy,
While inwardly they're groaning.

THE GREEN CORN DANCE.
A Peculiar Indian Ceremony That Was Observed
in the Gulf States.
From the Macoa, Ga, Maif.

From the Macon, Ga, Mai'.
One among the most important events
among the Indians was The annual "Gfeen
Corn Dance" This, contrary to the gene
rally received opipion, was = religious festi-
val. So soon as the green corn was ripe
enough to eat the chief sent out his order
and on All an appointed the town assembled
at the council house. The leaves of a shrub
(Iter Vomitorieo) were gathered and boiled
until a tea Of strong purgative properties
was made. This was Ussa Yahola, the fa-
nous Black Drink" After drinking copi-
ously of the Black Drink the dance began in
the council house. The braves were all
dressed In their best buckskin; the squaws,
Rin addition TO their usual ornaments, wore
about their knees and ankles small bells,
WHICH .jingleda soft accompaniment TO the
mofisfis Of the dance. The dance was a Sc
rious, silent series Of wild and grotesque ev-
olutions, varied by occasional interlrdes of
Independent, individual motions, according
to the fancy of the dancer. The exercises
were continued day and night until by per-
spiration and the active effects Of the medi-
cine the system was thoroughly cleansed and
renovated. And to this end tended the
dancing exercises. During the entire period
the diet was restricted TO green corn--hence
the name. 1t corresponded in many features
to the Jewish Jubilee, ending all previous
liabilities and burying all resentments and
ill-feelings. Life for life was the funda-
| mental principle of the Indian code, but il
the slayer escaped to this period and could,
unobserved, slip in among the dancers, his
offense was pardoned and his life saved. At
the end of the festival they "took the talk" :"
tho chief slowly md solemnly addressing
them on their oblisat ions TO the Grear Spirit,
Saga Misseh, and their moral duty toward
each other. As they had clesnsed their bod
les of all impurities, so they should cleanse
their minds of all animosities and resent
ments. They were exhorted to bravery,
honesty and faithfuness in the discharge of
whatever duty was allotted to them. To
this was added an exposition Of the tribal
laws, with general instructions as to their
| conduct during the next twelve months, OF
until the next Green Corn Dance. While
the talk was going on not \, whisper was
heard nor movement made, but all sat in
the most absorbed attention. Before the
talk WAS begun all fires were extinguished
and when 1t ended new fire was made b,
rubbing two dried sticks together, and thu
ceremonies ended. The utmost soemnit,
and decorum were observed throughout th'
entire period of the festival. An old .lndiat
countryman, who has attended many %
them, says that the whole affair, from begin
ming to end, was not only free from levity
but solemnly impressive.
