| they draw the line at cremating the
personal effects of the dead and the
wicliiup in which he died.
They believed that the evil spirit
would steal the heart of the dead and
carry it into hades, and in order to de-
| feat the evil spirit they rcsortcd to
| cremation. In preparing the corpse for
cremation the legs were drawn up
under the body near to the chin, the
arms were folded over them and tied
with leather thongs. This Office was
invariably performed by the nearest
relative, who also placed the corpse on
the pyre and applied the torch. The
death cry continued until the corpse
was reduced to ashes. The mourners
put ashes upon their cheeks and con-
tinued to wear the ashes, without the
sackcloth, for two three or six months,
according to the state of their grief.
The last cremation in this locality took
place ten or twelve years ago. The
Diggcrs abandoned the "barbarous"
practice about the time the palcfaccs
adopted it and put up crematory near
here.
The chief courteously showed me
through his village, and when / asked
him when the last cremation took
place, and if the custom had been
abandoned, he grunted, SHOOT, his head,
and said: NO more now; we bury like
pale-faccs." What seemed To be upper
most on his mind was the failure of the
acorn crop.
The dead Indian was locally known
as 'Bushyhcad," so named because of
his head of long, thin hair, which hung
over his shoulders in ample profusion
He died under the treatment of the
medicine man of the village. For
merly the medicine man was put TO
death when he lost patient, but, I'M
der the influence of civilization, the
"time-honorcd" custom has been abol-
ished, and their medicine man expert
ments with his patients just the same
as does the pale-face doctor. But the
Digger Indian docs not hide the names
or qualities of his medicines under
Latin terms.
They use primitive medicines, ex-
tracted from herbs, and unauthorized.
The cassia berry is sure remedy for
cholera infantum and similar disorders.
The long leaves Of the eucalyptus are
used to staunch flesh wounds, and a
concoction of the elderbcrry is used for
fevers and other bodily ailments. Roots
of the sasSafras bush are made into a
tea for the thawing out of chill, etc.
The medicines are very simple, not
costly, and instead of sending the APP
plicant to a drug store with a prescrip-
ton, he is sent to the woods with
Ratchet or grubbing hoe and told to

gether by leather cord, and his arms
were pinioncd likewise at the elbow
This is something like the burial serv.
ice of the Pueblo Indians, only that the
latter do not pinion the arms, but they
dig their graves deeper; and the Pucblos
do not have the death cry" | asked
the weeping sister when the burial
would take place. She replied: TO
morrow replaced the shrOud over the
face Of the corpse and began to cry.
At the head of the corpse an old
woman took her position. She held in
her right hand a green bough; for a
moment she looked up at the heavens
as if invoking the aid of the Great
Spirit then, as if in trance, she began
slowly waving the Dough, then, chang
ing the wand to her left hand, she
raised her long, bony hand and weirdly
pointed to the east, to the west, to the
north and TO the south, when she
uttered, seemingly, an invocation to
the Great Father. Then she began
chanting, accompanying this chant
with slow, shutting movement of her
feet, never changing position. Her
body swayed TO the right, then to the
left, her hands were extended over her
head and in every direction. All the
while she was groaning and moaning.
She was the high priestess" whose
Office it is to lead the death cry at the
burial of their dead. There was silence
for moment, when the priestess sum-
moned young girl, who brought an
other basket similar to the one in which
the head of the corpse had been placed.
The feet were placed in this basket
The feet were also tied similar to the
hands. Now the death cry was re-
sumed. About dozen mourners took
their positions around the corpse; some
were children of five or six years of
age. The priestess again began her
incantations and weird movements of
the wand, and the wailing, crying and
wringing of hands became general, ac-
companied by the slow, monotonous
movement of jumping up and down in
their tracks. This is called the death
dance" The chant was continued, de-
scending from the higher scales to a
granting sing-song, and then there was
a silence for moment, when the priest
ess would renew her incantations,
pointing with her green-bough wand to
the heavens, then to the four points of
the compass. The dancing never
ceased, and when these first mourners
became tired they were replaced by
Others. At intervals the priestess gave
interpretations of the visions she saw
when she looked into space. These in
terpretations were descriptive scenes Of

THE DIGGER INDIANS.
Our Correspondent Attends One of
Their Funerals.
without Doubt the Most Degraded Spec
linens of the Indian Race-Description
of an Aboriginal VilIage-The Med
icine Mans Job.

In Temucla canyon, n few miles
from the City of Angels" is a Digger
Indian village so small and poor that it
even has not name. At the mouth of
this canyon are few rude huts made
of ruShes. In these five or six cot
tagcS" dwell the remnants OF once
powerful tribe The name Digger is
given to them because they mainly sub
sist on roots, which they dig up, also
on grasshoppers and otherinsects. This
tribe is considered as the lowest of all
of the tribes. They live by bringing
wood to the city and by picking fruit in
the orchards. The tender cones of pine
shrubs is favorite dish with them. 1t
seems that they invariably select a
warm day for the gathering of these
cones. They are piled in large heaps
and cooked in brush fires. This sets
the woods on fire" and the surrounding
foothills are covered with the spreading
wood fires, which heat the city and
the valley below.
On last Sunday visited the Digger"
village. A brave had died under the
treatment of their medicine man and
there was TO be death cry" at the
burial, Formerly it was the custom to
put the medicine man. to death if he
lost a patient, but since the imprison-
ment of some of the high execution
ers' the death penalty has been abol-
ished, and the medicine man is expelled
from office in disgrace. On entering
the little village | asked for the chief.
He limped out of his 'wicliiup" to meet
me. His long hair hung over his shout
ders, his face was wrinklcd from evil
dent grief, but really from age, for he
said that he was more than one hundred
years old. lie was also barcfOOted,
which ] thought rather undignifed in
a chief. He expressed his grief by
wringing his hands and grunting, and
motioned me TO where the dead body
lay-on a rude bed under the cooling
shade of a huge live oak tree.
| walked to the side of the bed and
the dead mans sister removed the
shroud. The head rested in a beautiful
basket of marsh grass, prcttily woven
and interlaccd with worsted in green,
blue, pink and other colors The basket
was about the size and shape of an or
binary washbowl, and one side was
slightly tipped and put under the back
of the head. the other extending over
the head and about half way over the
face. Around his forehead was Il red
handkerchief, and around his chin
blue handkerchief. His hands were
clasped over his breast vertically, as if
in suppliant prayer, and were tied to-

will greatly aid that body i'll the p9r-
iormance OF the duties Tor which Il was

present system of recording brands in
counties under which it is possible that
4 're may be as many different brands
IS there are counties, circumstance
which easily causes confusion and loss.
The bill will be modelled in this respect
after the New Mexico law, which makes

STATEHOOD FOR ARIZONA.
CAPTURE OF THE KID.

The house bill authorizing the gov
srnor to offer a reward of $1,000 for the
capture Of the kid" dead or dliUe is a
good one and should become a law.
Also the proposed amendment offering
$3.50 for each or any one Of the kids"
followers should become a part OF hat
law.
But it makes no difference to the ter
ritory whether he is captured by sol
diers or civilians, and the reward
should be open to all competitors. It
is the kid" dead or aliye that we want
and it is worth $1,000 to rid the country
Of this terror to all along the border.
The reputation of the territory is not
sIocted by publishing this 20 the world,
except that it is to the credit of the
people to suppress at any cost this out
law and bandit.
Let the bill become Il law at once and
place no restriction upon the reward.
Make IL open to anyone.

the happy hunting grounds and inter.
views with the spirit of the recently de-
parted in his new home.
After these interpretations the song
and dance were renewed with greater
vigor, At evening pine knots and brush
fires were built around the hut and the
death cry was kept up all night. Next
morning, the corpse was buried, the
death cry being repeated at the grave,
the high priestess officiating. After
the funeral the clothing and personal
effects of the dead were placed in a
funeral pyre and burned. Then the
wiclSiup in which he died was burned.
These Digger Indians fear to live in a
hut in which death has occurred, be-
lieving that the living would be con-
tinually haunted by the spirit Of the
former occupant. Formerly, they placed
the dead body on the pyre and burned

An extraordinary riding achievement
has just been accomplished by Miss
Beatrice Tomasson, an English lady,
who has spent several months
of each year for some years past in
Innsbruck, which she has made
the center for many riding tours. Start
ing from the Tirolerhof she reached
Bozen the same evening, a ride of 1919
kilometers. The next day she rode
through Meran TO st. Valentine, 90
kilometers, where she spent the second
night. The third day she returned to
Innsbruck by way of Lardeclz, stretch
Of l41 kilometers. The whole distance,
300 kilometers, was ridden by Miss
Tomasson in siXty-seven and three
fourths hours, pace rendered more re-
markable by the fact that two noun
tain passes had to be ridden over, whose
elevations are respectively 1850 and
1900 feet The horse was unframed for
such work and the road was unfamiliar
No previous preparations as to quarters
had been made. Rider and horse ar
rived in perfect condition at the Tiroler-
hof.
