Pirged of Contempt.

CHICAGO, ILL. Dec. Joseph b.
Greenhut will be purged of contempt
next Wednesday by the United states
Court. so Judge Grosscup told Attorney
Julian Mack to-day. Several days ago,
when the matter was brought TO the
Courts attention, he refused TO dismiss
the case on his own responsibility. He
told Mr. Mack that II his clients were
willing 10 bear the burden of coming 10
Chicago, and testify 10 facts which must
tend TO prove contempt, he would dis
miss the case.
Mr.. Mack told the Judge this morning
that his clients were unwilling to come
10 Chicago on account OF the loss OF
time and the attendant expense. IL is
likely that the order Judge Crosscup
will convey the impression that the case
is dismissed on the old Scotch principle
that IL was not proven.

WICHITA. Kan. Nov. 4.-Among the
many interesting traditions that have re-
Gently been brought 10 light by man
who has been making "A careful STUDY OF
the legends and folklore or the CHEYENNE
and Arapahoe Indians OF indian Terri
tory is one that accounts In singular
way for the origin OF woman. The IN
dians OF these tribes snin disdainiuliy
AT the rib theory" when the resident
missionaries try TO teach them the initial
lessons OF the old Testament regarding
their first parents.
The wise men of their tribes wrestled
with the fundamental facts or the crea-
ton long ago, and evolved theories con-
corning IL which with the lapse OF time
have come TO be looked upon by the In
dians of to-day as historical truths. IL
is little wonder that the Cheyenne ana
Arapahoe braves look down upon their
women as inferior beings. In view OF their
supposed origin.
The legend says that originally all men
were created with long. sleek and comeiy
tails. These tails were their delight ana
they adorned them with paint. beads and
vampum. Then the world was at peace,
wars and discord were unknown. Men
became prosperous and proud. forgot
their Maker and became envious anc
ouarrelsome Their Maker became dis
pleased with them and sent scoursc
upon then. to teach them humility ana
make them realize hteir dependence on
the Great Spirit. He amputated their
tails and out of these beautiful members
fashioned women.
