IOWA INDIANS
Bsiding fheir Auturnnal Indian Dance
Near Cushing.

The Iowa Indians are indulging IN
the grand annual autumnal medicine
dance on their sacr ed stamping ground
between Headquarters and Dugout
creek, few miles below Perkins, The
heathen sRnctum sRnctorum is hidden
aud forbidden 10 those who never rode
the savage Indian goat; venerable
medicine men, white scarers and other
initiated scarecrovs, can enter the
holy Of holies. They drink large
drAughts Of semi.lntoxicating bever-
age and swallow powerful emetics for
the purpose of fortifying themselves
against evil spirits that like TO enter
them in the shape OF sickness, and
they vomit up the little devils that
have taken possession OF their kidneys
and liver.
Believing that hollow trees are fav-
orite abodes OF imps in tine shape Of
snakes, they generally put their
mouths to knot holes and vomit in the
hollow tree for the purpose of killing
their arch enemies hidden within.
The medicine dance ceremonies con-
tain a few grains OF common white
mans sense, because some of the med
icines taken cleanse the blood and con-
sequently drive or keep away sickness
from the thoroughly purged Indians,
but ne eeertheless the lowas are dying
at q fearful rate.-Cushing Herald

FRAUD CHARGED
Backers of Joe Walcott Seem to Feel

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 3O-Much diff
ference of opinion prevails here con-
corning last nights fight. 1t is freely
asserted that arrangements had been
made with Walcott, by which he was to
lose to Lavigne, although even the
proponents of this theory admit that
Lavigne was not q party to the alleged
plot. From the same source come state
ments that money from Walcott's quar-
ters was placed on Lavigne in large
amounts by those on the inside 1t is
claimed that Walcott took all the pun
ishment offered by Lavigne, constantly
looking for an opportunity to go out
and that he made no effort to put La
vigne out. Many who had wagered
large amounts on the white boy are
said to have held tickets to win inside of
thirteen rounds.
On the other hand many sporting men
maintain that the fight was a square
contest and both pugilists did their best
to win. Eddie Graney, referee at the
fight, is emphatic in his declaration that
the contest was honest and above board.
At one pool room alone s75, 1000 changed
hands on the result, most of it having
been placed on Lavigne at 10 to 61a.
