MEDICINE MEN N THEIR APPROVAL
A beef issue is the most typical and
also the most picturesque Of Indian
thanksgiving celebrations. For wears
the government has forbidden the issue
of beef after the manner of an old time
issue, but on especial occasions they
are allowed the amusement of killing
their own meat. 1t is said by the gov.
eminent officers who succeeded in hav-
ing the practice stopped that beef IS
sues end to make the Indian wilder
and more difficult to civilize.
A hundred cattle are turned loose in
a large pasture. The young me Of III
trlbe are mounted on mustangs aHd
have shining guns. With The good
wishes Of the sQuaws and medicine
men ringing in their ears, they ride oH5
to kill the cattle. The beasts have no
chance for life whatever. The chase IS
accompanied by an undue amount of
wild yelling. while excitement grows
intense in the camp. The smell Of fresh
blood makes the squaws wild, as it
were. After all the cattle have been
shot down then the killers give a signal
which means that all Of the tribe are
at liberty to rush forth and secure their
portion. A half beef is awarded to each
squaW. The beef is cleaned and cooked
on a fire on the open plain, while the
medicine men dance their approval and
the warriors sing in their glee. The
feast follows with more dancing. ANA
the whole day is thus spent, ending
late at night with a final -gorge.-New
