evidences of their sorrow Above the
din created by the mourners a voice
could occasionally be heard recount
ing the virtues of the deceased.
For three hours this ceremony went
on. Then some friend of the dead In
| dian conceived the idea of a double
funeral as more fitting evidence of
grief. The mourners at once proceed
ed TO exhume the body of little child
% the deceased that had been buried
the week previous, After the BODY had
been taken from the grave it was
given to big squaw, who elapsed the
little one to her bosom, mounted a
pony, and rode back and forth through
the crowd shouting the virtues of both
father and child in fantastic fashion.
In the meantime a grave had been
dug. 1t was twice as large as was
necessary to contain the body, but an
other was prepared for the child at
right angles with that of the father,
making the whole resemble the letter
L. The bodies were then tumbled into
these rough holes in the ground. the
head of the child resting against the
side OF the father. Both were appro-
pr1ately painted and decorated and
then the squaws set up an awful wall
lng' which in effect eclipsed any of their
previous efforts. Next came the dona-
lions TO the dead. Articles of every de-
scription which might prove beneficial
or entertaining to the Indian in the
happy hunting ground" were lavished
upon his body until the grave was filed
to within short distance of the sur
face. Then enough dirt was heaped on
to MI the grave, and pole was stuck
In the ground, to which were attached
a medicine flag and the dancing and
war headdress of the deceased. Two
of his favorite horses were then killed
en- the grave and this ended the burial
rites,

a curious check was presented to the
cashier of one of the Tonawanda banks

ten dollars, was made payable to "tRe

watching the parting groups on the

The ooy was about II, but pale and

he looked scarcely 10 years old. His
lace and hands were dirty, as if with
long and rough travel, his clothing
soiled, his coat torn and dusty. He

A wave of painful red passed over
the tanned neck. The boys reioinder

ears.
The conductors voice softened n
little as he said: 'I'n see to YOU

rounds.
The boy rose unsteadily, and passed
the back of his hand across his ewes.
He passed out and forward into the

WEIRD INDIAN RITES.
Observed at a Funeral at the
Fort Hall Agency.
Ancient BannOcl< UsaGes aud Gus
toms Carried Out with Startling
Eject by Hundreds OF Braves
and SQuaws.

A typical Indian funeral took place
at Fort Hall Indian agency, Idaho,
recently, and all of the ancient
usages and customs of the race were
carried out with dramatic effect.
I After laying out the dead Indian
in handsome native costume, paint
ing one side of his face an olive
green and the other bright orange,
the friends proceeded to collect the
effects of the deceased and divide
them among the mourners. The
trading post was next visited. Here
about $3.50 was spent in purchasing
such articles as beads, blankets,
fancy bags, red cloth, shawls, pipes.
calico and other things, all dear to
the Indian heart.
Then active preparations began for
the funeral proper, which was set
for the following day. Throughout
the night those who had been ia.
vored with the personal effects of the
dead Indian howled and shrieked in
hideous fashion. Early in the morn
ing tho body was carried to a con-
venient hill. There it was met by a
delegation of mourners composed for
the most part of squaws, stripped to
the waist and with their legs barred
to the knees. AS soon as the process
sion of body-bearers hove in sight
the squaws set up low wailing cry,
and without interruption, save for
occasional ear-Splitting shrieks from
the. braves, they kept this up for
some time in rude unison. As they
walled they cut their arms and legs
with knives, bits of stone or glass,
causing the blood to flow freely.
When the flow from these wounds
partly or completely ceased they
would tear the gashes with their fin
ger nails to bring on renewed bleed
ing. This torture Is one of the prime
