MYSTIC woIr DANCE



The wolf dance Of the Tonkaws r.
sembles the mysterious rites q the an
cicnt Greeks aud Romans, aud Is held 70
30 Of such sacred origin that no one pct
connected by birth with the tribe Is PET
mitted to view tho ceremony, and = q
authenticated thar the only white man
ever permitted % view the wolf dance
was Major Ncighbors, an Indian agent
who had acquired the especial friendship
OF the chief Of the tribe, who introduced
him secretly into the lodge where nc
ceremony was performed, and who're be
witnessed all without himself being seen.
He relates that fifty warriors all dressed
in wolf-skins from head 10 foot Sc rs %
represent the animal very perfectly, ma'ie
their appearance upon all fours, entcrlQg
the lodge in single file and, passing
around, howled and growled, and made
ether demonstrations peculiar 70 that
carniverous least. Continuing this tor
some time, they finally placed their
noses to the ground aud suited the eath
In every direction. until at length oaeei
them stopped suddenly, uttering shrill
cry, and scratched the ground at
particular spot. The Others gathered
around and set to work scratcn'
ing up the ground with their
hands, initiating the motions Of
wolf, and soon exhumcd a genuine, lire
Tonkawa, who had previously been "a
tered for the ceremony. Running
around him, seeming his person, they
examined him throughout with tho
greatest delight and curiosity, and a
council OF venerable aud sage old wolves
at once assembled to determine what dis
position should be made of him. The
resurrected Tonkawa thus addressed
them in their own language; You have
taken me away from the spirit land
where was contented and happy, ana
have brought me into this world, where
am stranger, and know not what
shall do for subsistence and clothing,
It is better you should place me back
where you found me- Otherwise l shall
freeze or stArve TO death. +.
After mature deliberation the council
declines to return him to the earth, and
tells him to gain a living as do the
wolvcs-to go out into the wilderness 70
rob. kill. and steal whenever and where
ever the opportunity presents. .
A bow and arrow are then placed ia
his hands with which he is told he must
furnish food ard clothing that he must
wander from place TO place like thc
wolves, and never Guild a house or cults
waite the soil, and that If he disobess he
will surely die; and this they obey with
unchangeable devotion. Thus do these
savage tribes maintain their ancient
traditions, and to the remotest postersty
hand down the customs, rites and cere-
monies performed by their ancestry be-
fore the white man had found a lodg-
ment upon the soil Of tho new world -

A Monster American Pyramid.

A gigantic pyramid, the most interest
ING relic to tie antiquarian now on the
American Continent, lies a few miles 70
the west Of Pueblo, Old Mexico.
The spot is easy Of access, and has
been visited by every traveller Of note,
either American born or foreign, who has
interested himself In the least in hoaTy
antiquities. It rises suddenly from the
plain and Is built Of huge adobes, or
large unburned bricks. Although mutt
lated and overgrown with trees, the
massive base and four stories Of the gi-
gantic structure are yet almost entire.
Humboldt describes il as a work Of such
magnitude and vastness as, next to the

A BOLD AND SUCCESSFUL
ROBBERY.

Deming Headlight.
The road from Florida station to
Cooks Peak was the scene OF 9
daring and successful highway
robbery Monday afternoon, about
one o'clock. AT that time Fore
man Jackson, of the Ell Paso
Smelling Works mines, was riding
along in blackboard, only short
distance ahead of the regular
coach, on his way to the camp, for
the purpose of making the regular
monthly payment to the men.
jeff King. a we'll known charact-
er about the mines, came alongside
tho wagon ON horseback, and en-
gagged the foreman in conversation,
being we'll knewn to the latter
After having ridden together for
quite distance, when about four
miles from the station, King sud-
denly drew six shooter and point
ing it at Jackson's head demanded
the envelope containing the green
backs, and gold and silver, to the
amount of ST. ,03250 Being taken
by surprise and unarmed, Jackson
could only comply. Thrusting the
envelope into his pocket, the high
wayman, still covering the foreman
with his revolver, instructed him
to drive on a side road and not to
look back or make any demonstra-
ton under penalty of death. Fol-
lowing close in the rear, he COM
pelled Jackson to drive a distance
Of nearly FIVE miles, and then left
him to return, making good his
escape over the Cooks Peak noun
tains.
The boldness of the crime Is ap-
parent from the fact that the stage
was less than half mile behind at
the time of the occurrence of the
robbery, and that a team belong
ing TO Carr Brothers was a short
distance in front. Both, however,
were out of sight. When the stage
came into view, while Jackson was

taking his enforced ride over the
side road, King raised his hand al
the coach, taking good care to keep
his gun In easy reaching position.
jackson hurried back to camp
and reported the affair. He is
using every endeavor to capture
the robber. King, however, seems
to have gotten beyond reach. 1t
was learned later that the horse
ridden by King was taken from the
station by him. For some time
past he had been driving for Mr..
Mcintosh, at Cooks. The robber
is said to have a bad record, and to
have been in trouble at Silver
City. just how he obtained his
information as to j ickson's posses.
