The Sun Dance.


CHICAGO, July %. "A dispactch from
Rosebud Indian Agency, d. T., says:
The annual sun dance of the Sioux In
dams occurred yesterday afternoon at
the camp near the agency. About 1000
Indians we're present IRON all parts of
the reservation, and number OF white
visitors. The ceremony OF cutting pole
for the center OF the dancing circle was
performed Saturday afternoon, Merpipe,
niece OF Standing Bear welding the AK.
The charge on the PROSTATE tree was
made by over 1000 young bucks on
ponies. Sunday a brush inclosure was
built and that evening fifteen Indians en-
tered and commenced their long dance,
having been fasting four days. In
the afternoon the voluntary torture com
menced, three men offering themselves
The medicine man performed the opera
ton. He made two vertical missions in
each breast with sharp knife, and pass
ing stick under, lifted the flesh and
fastened it to the end Of a rope depend
ing from pole. The dancers then
worked until they freed themselves by
violently breaking the flesh. Follow-a-
Woman broke loose in five minutes and
Liyes-in.the Air after ten minutes ex-
ertion, but Poor Dog remained tied up
for half an hour before he could tear
out the thongs from both breasts.
They then all rejoined 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 endur-
ance and savage barbarity. At 5o'clock
the dance closed, the participants hav-
ing jumped up and down, blowing their
whistles, for fifty hours without food or
water, part Of the time in the burning
sun. Some were completely 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 be permitted, as strong
effort is being made by the Government
to stop the sun dance. Orders came to
Agents Mc6iflicuddy and Wright this
year to prevent its occurrence, but il
was impossible to do SO.
