A Sl0ux Sua Daace,
CHICAGO, July 25.-A dispatch from
Rosebud Indian agency, d. T., says:
The annual sun dance of the Sioux In
dians occurred yesterday afternoon at
the camp Mar the agency. About 1000
Indians were present from all parts of
the reservation, and a number of white
visitors. The ceremony of setting
pole for the center of the
dancing circle was performed
Saturday afternoon, Meripe, niece
of Standing Bear, welding the
AZ. The charge on the PROSTATE tree
was made by over ZOO young bucks ON
ponies. Sunday q brush enclosure was
built. and that evening fifteen Indians
entered and commenced their long
dance, having been fasting four days.
In the afternoon the voluntary torture
commenced, three men Offering them
selves. The medicine man" per-
formed the operation. He made two
vertical incisiOns in each breast with q
sharp knife, and passing a stick under
lifted the heeh and fastened it to the
end of rope dependinq,from pole.
The dancers then worked until they
freed thems elves by violently breaking
the flesh. Follov-a- Woman broke loose
in i've minutes and Lives-in-the-Air at
ter ten minutes exertiOn, but Poor
Dog remained tied up for half an hour
before he could tear out the thongs
from b0sh breasts. They then all re-
joined the dance. Several of the bucks
had small pieces of flesh cut from their
arms, their squaws Offering their
arms for part of the loss. The whole
was dreadful exhibition of physical en-
DURANGO and savage barbarity. At 5
O'Clock the dance closed, the partici-
pants having jumped up and down,
blowing their whistles, for fifty hours
without food or water, part Of the time
in the burning sun. Some were COM
pletely exhausted at the close of the
dance, their eyes being closed and their
bodies in spasms. This probably is the
last time these cruelties will DO per-
mitted, as q strong effort is being made
by the Government to stop the sun
dance. Orders came to Agents McGil-
li0oddy and Wright this year to pre-
vent its occurrence, but it was impOssi-
BILE to do %.
