1t is of the long ago, before any
white man had established himself in
the Mohave country. There wa, no
reservation. and the big father" at
Washington did not know of their
existence, nor did they know anything
about him. There had been a few
white men up the river. One came in
a big boat that belched out fire and
smoke. (rhis was undoubtedly Lieut..
Ives steamer, which went up the river
in 1878. MeSicans and whites lived
at Lhreuberg. ana La paz, and mined
Tor gold and silver. but that was
further down the river. Every now
ana again some man more eager for
the giittering rock and the stuff he
burned out of it, would strike out,
sometimes alone, and sometime, with
two or three companions would roam
OIL into the hiIly country. and the
desert near TO the land of the Nlohaves.
Somehow their presence would in
variably be betrayed. 1t might be
their trail would bee seen by some one
out hunting, or in the mountain, for
seeds and grasses; or il might be the
smoke Of their camp fires revealed
their presence. Once it was known
they were there the Mohayes would
have q council at the camp fire aud
certain young warriors would be sent
to see whether the white man or men
could DE surprised and slain or cap
turcd. Then in detail the old man
would describe how. under the cover
Of night, he and his comrades would
steal upon the solitary wretches, as
they sat around their camp fire. cook
ing their meager meal, perhaps they
would wait until sleep had wrapped
his garment Of Oblivion around them.
Then. as stealthiIy as the cat creeps
upon the unsuspecting mouse. these
red devils would secretly crawl upon

seems to be n general reluctance to
even believe that the indians of our
country were ever glilty of so loath-
some and terrible a practice. Far be
II from me TO attempt to change this
laudable spirit of pride, and few
would dare to charge me with ever
doing thing TO bcSittle the Indians
of America. I have sung their
praises too often to bc thus mis-
judged. But facts are facts, and be-
sides being stubborn things. they
should be known If one would right
w judge and understand. | know of
put few instances where il has ever
been charged that North American
indians We're cannibals, and it is not
Hiways certain that those so charged
Eere guilty. 1t was long believed,
hnd is yet by many, that the Seris,
Fwho inhabit the Tiburon island. in
the Gulf of California, were cannibals,
SbCt DR.. W. 4. McGee, the acting di-
rector of the United States bureau of
ethnology, who visited them in 1894,
thus disposes of the charge. After
reciting his various talks with them
on the subject, he summarizes their
responses as follows:
l. They are not cannibals.
2. They do not eat any portion or
portions of the body of an enemy
slain in war.
5. They do not eat human flesh in
sacriicial'way. and,
4. They specifically denied having
eaten the flesh of the two Americans
whom they confessed to having killed
the year before.
To all these statements DR. McGee
says he is inclined to give his
credence.
But if individual confession goes
for anything, the photograph here
presented of Muhave Indian is that
of a cannibal. This old fellow open
ly boasts at the dances of his people
of his feasts of human flesh. He
lives on the Mohave Indian reserya-
tion on the Colorado river, between
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1902-12-18

Needles and Yuma, where large
number of this tribe resides. They
are without doubt the most degraded
OF all Indians of the southwest, hold
ing IDEAS that are repulsive to every
moral sense of the white man. For
instance, they believe that God is
dead, and that His ghost or spirit is
The devil, and that this devil lives in
the Needles mountains near where
the Santa Fe bridge crosses the Col
orado river from Arizona into Cali
tornia. There never was such a devil
as these Mohaves have pictured, for
This "Old Nick" is both male and fe-
male, and he sits in judgment or
every spirit of the dead Mohayes and
determines what share of Heaven
'hey shall have.
\ Their looseness of morals is past be-
hef, so that one is quite prepared to
believe the old mans horrible stories
sof his murders and cannibalism, To
pook at him as he tells his story is quite
enough. His eyes roll in n kind of
ESTATE frenzy and he licks his lips as
AZ enjoying his feast in remembrance

A RELIC OF THE PAST.

their hapless victims, and either stun
them with one or two fierce blows of
stone axe, or trahsfiX them with
flint or agate tipped arrows.
After showing how the poor MUIR
dered wretches were scalped, he would
then describe the building of fire, and
the dismemberment of the white man.
His breath was sucked from his dead
lips in order that the white mans en-
durance might be communicated to his
Indian slayer; his scalp was removed
in order to hang it in the proper place
in the captor's house, and so that he
could be decorated with it in the war
dances; if the white man had shown
any spirit Of defense or especial cour-
age, his heart was first taken out and
the blood drank and some of the flesh
eaten raw. This was to give to the
eater the courage of the man he had
slain. The strange thing about that
belief is that when a man so takes in
the courage of his slain foe it is added
to the courage he already possesses.
Then the choice bits would be torn
from the body or cut with flint
knives and thrown upon the burning
Goals, there to roast while the In
dams danced and sang around the
fire. When half cooked often they
would wait no longer, but eat the
horrible feast, while the blood flowed
over hands and chin.
When l asked the old wretch
which he liked the better, human
flesh or beef, he showed his teeth and
exclaimed: "Man beef" When |
queried how long it was since he had
eaten any he drew a line in the sand
and signifed the length of his life
from birth to now. Then cutting the
line about in half he signitied that
never since that time had he touched
human flesh.
To civilize such degraded specimens
of humanity is hard, and l never
think Of that old man but my heart
goes out TO the men and women who
are engaged in trying to elevate the
Mohaves. OF course, the major part
of the tribe are not to be classed in
the same category as the old canni-
bal, but they are all pretty hard sub
iects upon which to work.
Some of the younger members are
auite bright The older ones, how
ever, still stick tenaeiously to old
customs as can be seen by looking at
the second photograph, where the
rabbit skin blanket is still worn by
the aged Indian, who was shivering
with ague at the time the photo was
taken. G. WHARTON JAMEa
