This Is the manner of the sport, &
"rooster" is buried, all but bis head
i'm the sand, and the Indians ride
ride around at full speed in an eloneat'
ed circle of considerable area and as
each one passes the rooster he en-
deavors to grab it by the head and
carry it off. When one does this he
keeps on as fast as his stead will carry
him over hill and hollow, doubling
back and forth in his effort to reach
the starting point without being over.
taken by any of the others who are
all after him in hot pursuit, with d
view to taking from him the poor old
chicken in order to wiring from it the
head, for the reason that will hereafter
appear:
The one who succeeds in pulling the
rooster up gets the first prize and the
second prize goes to the one who
brings in the detached head.
On that day one of the Indians EN-.
ployed as q servant man about the
College won both prizes-the second
prize by little sharp rp practice. When
he found he was about to be over
taken by some of those in pursuit, be
pulled the head of the rooster off and
dropped the body, but kept on; the In.
dians in pursuit, thinking he had lei
it fall by accident, stopped and made
a dash for the rooster and in that way
he reached the goal without being
captured, bearing with him the covet.
ed head, and thus fulfilling the terms
of the contest, was awarded both
prizes.
AS that might be termed a Yankee
trick, suspect he had profted by his
intercourse with some of the white
employees about the College, and
learned trick or two.
The Moquis and Navajos have en-.
tirely different kinds of sports and
dances and never join In with each
other, but will attend as spectators
This reservation has many more Nava.
jos than Moquis on it. The former
are a.kind of nomadic tribe, never
having any fixed place of abode, but
move from place to place, wherever
they can find pasturage for their horses
and cattle-whole families living in
little huts built of rocks and 'daubed
with mud and shaped like the huts Of
the Esquimos.
While the Navajos have a separate
reservation of their own, which ad-
joins the Moqui reservation, they
! have encroached upon the Moquis'
rights and impose upon them in va.
rious wavs, such as stealing their corn,
horses and cattle. and the result is
that each tribe hates and despises the
other.
The Navajo looks with contempt on
the peaceful Moqui, and the Moqui,
while afraid of the Navajo, despises
him because he has illtreated him
and this feeling is transmitted from
father to son. 1t is quite an insult to

Keams Canyon, Arizona,
Oct. 30th, 1903.
Editor Press and Banner:
1 have been intending for so me time
to send you something more for pub
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the manners
and customs of the Indians in this
part of Arizona. but the last two or
three months have passed so rapidly,
owing to the fact that there has been SO
much during that time to engage my
attention - much that was entirely
new aud novel to me-that really
havp't found time to write to any of
my friends scarcely, except occasional
ly letter to the home folks.
July and August constitute our va
cation period, though the whole estab-
lis ! ment is not closed and all the em-
ployees away during all that time.
Those who have been in the Indian
service for one or more years are al
lowed one months vacation, or really
about thirty-tive days, as the Sundays
and any holidays that may occur dur
ing the month are not counted, at
which time they may 60 anywhere
they like, while ut the same time their
salaries 60 on as usual.
About one-half of the employees
take their vacation in July aud the
the others in August, so that there are
always some of them here who are ex-
pected to superintend the work in the
industrial department each day from
seven to half-past eleven in the fore
noon, after that they may do as they
like for the remainder of the day.
A few of the larger boys and girls
are kept here during this vacation sea-
son, not, however, the same ones all
the time, but alternating so that there
are at all times more or less of them
here to do the necessary work about
tbs premises, the others in the mean.
time 60 to their homes.
I really enjoyed life out here from
the middle Of June up, to say, the first
of September, for we had large
crowd of visitors in the Canyon dur.
ing all that time, which served greatly
to enliven things.
Ten or dozen of the teachers of the
day schools came in TO spend part of
their vacation here, besides officials
from Washington, newspaper and
magazine men and women who came
here to visit the villages in this reser
vation with view to writing up the
Hopi and other Indian tribes for theil
papers; also, men sent out by the De
partment of the Interior at Washing
ton to get views of the different tribes
for the st. Louis Fair.
In that way I met with a grea
many very pleasant people from ths
outside world, as they invariably
come direct here from Hoelbrook, the
nearest railroad station, and spend s
few days and are then sent out owe

the reservation by means of the gov
ernment teams at this place.
Among the many officials who came
here was one who was originally from
Atlanta, and learning on his arrival
that among the lady employees here
there was one from the South, he had
no difficulty on being introduced to US
all to spot me at once, and you should
have just seen what an attraction there
was one for the other, and all based
upon the mere fact that we were from
the same section of the Union.
One can have no idea what a pleas
ure it is to person hailing from the
South to meet with another from their
home country, after having spent a
considerable period among people
whose voices are entirely destitute of
the soft expression peculiar to the
South, unless they have experienced
it as have.
My associates here are mostly from
the North and North west and while
they are all very clever and as nice to
me as they can be, still they are not
like our people in their ways and man
ners, and especially in their speech.
! While some of the visitors were
here we had two or three picnics
which I enjoyed very much. The first
was gotten up by our post trader in
the Canyon who had regular pro-
gram of amusemeuts, which consist
ed of Navajo (pfonounced as if spelt
NavahO) Indian sports or contests for
prizes, all at his expense, such as foot
and horse races, the tug of war, wres-
tling and chicken pulling.
Everybody connected with the COL
lege, as well as strangers present, were
invited by the Post Trader to be pres
ent. So we went in all manner of
conveyances, such as government
wagons, buggies, etc.
When the time for the sports to be-
gin arrived we lined up in our con-
veyances on each side Of the public
road. Presently a great crowd Of
Navajo men appeared on the tract
with just a. little clothing on as mod
esty would admit of, in fact, about as
Adam was clothed imm ediately after
the great transgression, except the ma
terial used was of strong cotton goods
instead Of fig leaves. They had the
appearance though of being painted ,as
their skins were so so smooth and of
that brown or copper color that Co.
lumbus mentioned in the Aborigines.
L was disappointed when first came
out here in not finding the Indians of
a red color, as I had always heard
them spoken of as the red men of the
forest. Instead of this being the case
great many of them, especially those
exposed to the weather, are quite dark.
In the tug Of war they choose sides
and taking hold of long rope they
pull against each other. The chicken
! pull was quite exciting and I enjoyed
!, it very much, notwithstanding it vas
little cruel to the old "rooster;;" but
) IL eased my conscience with the
thought that he was practically dead

smell the bunch Of fresh. celery; with
which the trap was baited, and he was
just dying to make meal Of IT.
'It's trap set to catch you by Jim
my Jones, the farmers son. Jimmy's
father likes rabbit meat, and Jimmy
wants to please him, so he thought
he would get us In his trap and give
us to his father to eat. But instead Of
getting In we will wait out here until
the farmer comes along and see what
happens"
So they hid in the tall grass until
they saw the farmer and his son COM
ing across the field. Jimmy thought
that by this time there must be some
thing in his trap, so he said to his Ia
ther:
"Pop, I've got something for you over
there in the grass. Go over and get it,
"What is it?" asked his father. @
"Never mind; you 60 over and see for
yourself" said Jimmy, for he wanted
to surprise his father. Mr.. Jones walk
ed along through the grass, but he didn't
see the trap until the toe Of his shoe
struck II, and away he went heels over
head on his nose on the ground. He
scrambled to his feet as mad as he
could be, and reached out and grabbed
Jimmy by the collar. rs,
$50 you hid an old box In the grass
for me to stumble over and hurt my
self, did you" he cried angrily. 3Weli,
III teach you a little lesson that you
will never forget" '
And with that he pitched into Jimmy
and gave him such lambasting that
he will never forget as long as he lives
to tell the tale. 3S'
And all the time the rabbit family
sat over in the tall grass and snickered
as they thought what terrible fate
they had escaped and how sorry little
Jimmy must feel that he had ever tried
to catch them to make. meal for his
father.-C Chicago Tribune.
