was framed with willow and covered
with arrow weed. The corpse lay
wrapped in white garment, in the
center of the group. Most of the In
diaDs present were crying aloud OF
talking in wailing tones. One of the
local chiefs talked continuously in a
loud voice, using his clog uence, not to
console, but TO augment the grief OF the
mourners.

This hole, being filed with dry brush,
willow and mesquite logs are piled over
it to the height of about three feet.
The logs are held in place by green
stakes. A hollow is left in the top of
the pyre to receive the body.
When the pallbearers arrived at the
pyre, they raised the litter to the top,
and turned it so as to let the body slide
into the trough. The corpse lay with
it's bead toward the south, and face
down-both essential conditions.
The litter was left on the pyre, and
more logs were piled rudely on top, I'M

by their belief that everything burned
