ing the limited means for making ace
quias at the disposal of the Pimas.
The Indians do not cultivate all the
land that might be titled, for their fields
do not average more than from 10 to ID
acres to the family; nevertheless, they are
dissatisfied with the size of their reserva-
ton, asserting that their forefathers had
always been in possession of much
larger portion of the ella Valley, and
since the valley above the reservation has
been settled up by Americans and Next
cans. the Indians have frequently en-
croached upon the fields of the latter,
| whom they consider in the light of in
truders, and it is apprehended that sooner
or later serious difficulties will arise.
Capt GrOssman fOresaw what was
bound to happen and what has happen
ed ever since his leaving the Agency. The
Indians had a reservation of land. Any
man was allowed to take. or at least not
prohibited from taking, the water from
the ella River for irrigation, with com
plete disregard to the station of the
dam or head of water" of the Pimas.
If the water was headed off, by any
body who thought he could do it without
prosecution. he simply did so. visited
tile ella River country again in the 80 S
and found the same conditions prevailing.
The Indians were simply robbed of the
only means by which they could procure
a crop.
The Pima men plow the land with oxen
and n crooked stick as is done by the
MeXicans; they sow the seed and cut the
grain (the latter with short sick.es).
Horses, mules or oxen thrash tine gram
by stamping The women winnow the
grain, when thrashed. by pitching it into
the air by basketfuls, when the wind car
res off the chaff; they convert the wheat
into flour. grinding it by hand on their
.metates," q large fiat stone upon which
the wheat is placed, after having been
| slightly parched over the fire. 1t is then
ground into coarse flour by rubbing and
crushing with another smaller stone. The
principal crop is wheat, of which they
sell, when the season is favorable, l,3Oo,-
600 pounds per anIuIm. They also raise
corn, barley, beans. pumpkins, squashes.
melons, onions, and small supply oil

| The diet of the Pimas is very simple;
animal food is used only on occasions OF
ceremony, although they possess large
numbers of beef-cattle and chickens They
do not use the cows milk, manufacture
neither butter nor cheese. and do not eat
the eggs of their hens. Very few Will eat
pork. But whenever they kill COW.
steer or calf they eat every part of it
that can possibly be masticated, intes-
tines included. Should an animal die, nc
matter of what disease, they eat its meat
without apparent evil effects upon then
health. At times they hunt the rabbit
| which is about the only game (quadruped)
in their country. Fish. during the months
of April and May, are also extensively
eaten. -,
Wheat. corn, beans, and. above all
pumpkin and mesquite-beans are their
! principal food. The latter grow wild in
abundance, and millions of pounds are
gathered annually by the women of the

often braid it in strands; only the front
hair is cut straight across, SO as to let it
reach the eyes. The women, who also cut
their front hair like the men, part their
hair in the middle and wear it usually
long enough to let it reach little below
the shoulders. The hair is their only
head covering. The men are proud of
their long hair, braid it and comb it with
care; and to give it glossy appearance,
frequently plaster it over with a mixture
of black clay and mesquite gum. This

doors of their huts the war-clubs of the
Pimas descend upon their heads with
crashing force.
The Pimas never scalp their dead enc
mics; in fact, no Pima will even touch an
Apache further than is necessary to kill
him. Even the act of killing an Apache
by means of an arrow is believed to make
the Pima unclean whose bow discharged
the fatal arrow. The reason of this is
that they firmly believe that all Apaches
are possessed of the evil spirit, and that
all who kill them become unclean and re-
main SO until again cleansed by peculiar
process Of publication.
The Pima warrior who has killed an
Apache separates himself as soon as prac-
ticable from all his companions (who are
not even permitted to speak to HIM, and
returns to the vicinity of his home. Here
he hides himself, in the bushes near the
river bank, where he remains secluded
for 1G days, conversing with no one, and
seeing through the whole period of the
cleansing process only an old woman of
his tribe who has been appointed to carry
food to him, but who never speaks.
During the. "a hours Immediately fol-
lowing the killing the Pima neither eats
nor drinks; after this he partakes of food
and water sparingly, but for the whole III
days he cannot eat meat of any kind nor
salt. nor must he drink anything but river
water.
For the first four days he frequently
ba thes himself in the river; during the sec
ond four days he plasters his hair with a
mixture of mesquite gum and black clay,
which composition is allowed to dry and
become hard upon his head, and is wash

THE RED RIVER EXPEDITION.
Recollections of the FIRST Day at Sabine

Comrade Crandall has given as good an ac-

have a faint recollection of seeing
Crandall, the drummer boy, near Col;
Webb on the skirmish line. The Colonel
and myself were near each other on the
skirmish line when it reached n small
creek Just outside the fence by the road
side. Having crossed the stream, the
Colonel turned to the left, going up the
road. Just as l had entered the field be-
yond the road, some one announced that
Col Webb was killed. The skirmish line
continued to advance until 1t was halted
in an open field, and We were ordered to
pile our knapsacks and rest. l am now
giving the movements of my own regi-
ment not remembering what others were
with us ut that time. 1t was dry and
dusty, and we were having q hot time
the bullets coming fast and thick. We
were soon ordered into line, and moved
forward to a fence. Having laid down
the fence we passed through q strip of
timber, coming to- another fence, there be-
ing an open field beyond. The COnfed
crates came charging across the field, but
their lines were somewhat broken by our
yolleys. They soon rallied, making an
other charge with no better success. Hav-
ing made the third, charge, they seemed to
drop into the ground, disappearing from
view. A Johnny ted me afterward that
the charging line, WIS composed of Louis
lana troops, New Orleans regiment,
known as the "Crescent." one of the best
regiments in the, Confederate army. He
said they went into the fight 800 strong
and came out with I12o.
While we were Sepulsing the Louisian-
ians, We could see lines of the enemy
swinging around t0ur tanks, but supposed
our troops would be able to drive them
back. In this we7 were mistaken. The

For the first time In some six
years Sistersville Is enjoying the
novelty of being the temporary
home of one of Americas big
shows, and the citizens Of the me-
tropolis of Tyler county augmented
by several hundred visitors, are
enjoying the sensation to the full
extent. The organization travels
about the country In thirty.three

iourneyed to the show grounds
during the early hours of the morn
Ing to witness the work OF erecting
the tents and preparations for the
parade.
There are few persons who realize
the amount of work required In 6t'
ting up a canvas city, such as Is
found today at Sistersville. There
are several thousand stakes used In
holding the guy ropes which sup
port the tents of the, side show,
main tent, menagerie, dressing
rooms, horse tents, mess tents, kitchen
and several other smaller tents
used by the employees for supplies.
No sooner IS the main tent erected
than the work of arranging the
tiers of seats started, and this IS nc
small job. All the braces have tc
be placed at certain angle and
properly supported to avoid col
lapse. The thousands of seats are
unpacked from the big wagon:
