DANCED SEVEN DAYS.

Yakima Indians Hold Their Medicine
Dance-Some Barbarous Practices.
TACOMA, Wash, Feb. ~. The va
Hma Indians have just closed a seven
days medicine dance near Toppenish.
A peculiar feature of this dance and one
that neighboring white people supposed
had never existed except in the minds
of dime novel writer's is the self inflicted
torture Of those participating in the
dances. This rite has deep religious
significance fer them. Of course not all
Of the Yakima Indians take part in these
barbarops practices. Many Of them are
well-educated men and women and live
very much as their white neighbors.
The Indians who tortured themselves
this week included several young bucks
who have been away to school and edu-
Gated. Returning home they relapsed
into the ways Of sayagery and discarded
the white man s dress for blankets and
feathers. "a !t ~
All of the dancers inflicted numerous
wounds upon themselves with knives,
stones and sharpened sticks. Cutting
holes in their flesh, they inserted rings
Of leather through them and pulled at
these thongs until the flesh gave way.
Some of them danced almost contin-
uously for seven days, stopping only
when physically exhausted. A young
buck about so years old held out the
longest and was declared the tribes
head medicine man for the next three
