medicine scalp which was on the totem pole
and carry 1t across running water and hide
1t. If 1t was found after the spy had hid

caught with 1t on his person after he had
been across running water he had to pay

There was an old game among the In
dams OF the plains that they always played
with renewed intereSt-tne game of spear
and ring. Their ring made of stone
was about three inches in diameter, and in
playing the game it was set upright on
level ground in such a way that a slight
jolt would throw it down.
The spear handle was fitted with disks of
leather about two and half inches across.
There was disk about every six inches
and these disks were numbered.
The game was to see how far through the
ring the player could push the spear with
out making it fall. Each one at his turn
counted for points the number of the disk
passed through, and he won who had the
highest total when the game closed.
Any straight piece of wood will do for n
