Cheyenne Indians Make Sacrifices to
the Evil Spirits.

special dispatch to the New York Tri-
bune from Wichita, Kan, says: One nun
dred babies have been boiled by the Chey-
enne tribe as a sacrifice to the evil spirits.
The babies were dead before they were
boiled The cause of this sacrifice was
the death three weeks ago of the child OF
Mrs Yellow Bear. who went insane over
the death of her first born. She then went
about among the tribe and prayed that
every child of the tribe be stricken deaG
by the evil spirits. it is said. Since then
over one hundred babies have died.
Early last week Yellow Standing. medi-
cine chief of the tribe, went in the woods.
and later returned telling the tribe he had
been instructed to call death dance. Tins
dance took place in the woods near the
town Of Stroud At the dance all the deal
babies We're pitched into kettles and BODIED,
and tAeir flesh eaten by the dancers.
Yesterday Mrs l'r.tty Moon, IN her fren,
tLc hI.,,I ON the bodies of all the children
living in the Cheyenne tribe. This was
done, she said, to save their lives. Many
white people have visited the scene of the
dances, but no effort has been made to stop
them
Indian Agent Mitchner says that he has
not been apprised of the murder of the
baby by Mrs. Pretty Moon, and until that
time he will take action to put a stop
to the dances. Yellow Standing says the
death dance will be kept up until the
deaths are stopped. The Indians are in a
frenzy of excitement over the plague that
has befallen their infants.
