A E FEAST

Indians Feed Fat on the Bodies OF
Dead Cattle.
1t Is safe to say that not for a great
MANY years have the Sioux Indians on
the Cheyenne Rive and Standing Rock
reservations hal so much beef TO eat
as at present. This abundance OF beef
IS due to the recent severe storm, which
lefc a great many dead cattle and sheep
lying on the prairies throughout the
two reservations. Ever since the storm
~bundreds CT Indians have been engaged
In gathering the of the dead
animals. They are not so particular as
are white people about the manner OF
death of the animals they eat, n are
enjoying a monopoly of gathering the
bodies OF the animals killed by the
storm. They dry such parts OF the
meat as are not needed for present use
and lay 1t away for future use, while
the sinews are preserved and utilized
for sewing moccasins.
