INDIAN OUTBREAK.
Primitive Iowa Mnsaunkic. Jealous OF

Is TO be found In this country than the
Musquakie tribe Of some 400 men. won
Ell and children. who live right In the
center and heart OF Iswa. one OF tho
most advanced States In the Union. just
ut present the Musquakies are very much
wrought up and jealous over the nOto-
riety which has been given the lgorrote
tribes at the worlds fair on account OF
their dog-cating habit.
The chief of the Musquakies claims
that the lgorrotes are not the only saw
ages that enjoy dog as a tribal dish. that
the Musquakies have been pioneers In
the habit for centuries and that the
American people have never raved over
them.
With the Igorrote no female IN permit

racy for warriors only. but when tbs
Mnsquakies have a feast on the rcserya-
ton the women eat as much as do the
men. The Indians scarcely ever taste
OF beef. preferring pork. chicken. skunk
and dog meat. Dogs are very numerous
on the reservation. being raised and fat
tened for feasts. dances. pow-wows and
other special occasions.
