IU. muSU U0 loMeuueIou, wv eho
New Mexico is a big territory, witt
an area as great as the combined
ares Of New York and the New Egg
land States, and events may transpirt
in certain secluded sections OF 1t ano
be as little known to many othe,
sections as If the Inhabitants d Telt
at q much greater distance from the
scene Of these events. The highest
forms Of civil'z alton aud prosperity
exist in certain parts Of New Mexico,
but there are still some Indian pueb.
los, or villages, little known to the
white man.
In one form OF another this story
which was brought before the grand
jury is not new, as 1t has been told
around campfres and ty writer's o.
P;leblo legends and traditions, hut 1t
has n yer heretofore been brought be-
'ore q judicial body. A version O.
the story is that there is but one
snake Ct venerable age and immense
size, which has been transferred from
pueblo to pueblo, causing in eacf
In turn q mysterious decrease In the
birth rate. Another version Is that
there are several snakes, but that the
medicine men led the people to be
lieve that there was only one. Still
another relates as to how the snake
Is guarded by the Indian councillors,
the people bsing kept ignorant Of the
fate OF their children. The history
of the snake brought to the attention
of the grand jury is quite singular. 1.
runs that the snake was first kept IN
the Santo Domingo pueblo, whence II
was transferred to the Jsm'z pueblo,
the Santo Dominicans paying a large
tribute to have 1t taken eff their
hands. The Jemez indians in turn
unloadsd it upon the "a pueblo,
where it has remained for many
years
That the snake is a conspicuous
figure in the religion of most Of the
America Indians In the Southwest
is, of course, we'll known. The mod
ern Indians get their traditions from
the ancient Aztecs, who were snake
worshippers and who, we know, made
human sacrifices and venerated sacred
reptiles. The NJ qui Indians and
their annual snake dances are survi-
walls of the old Aztec ceremonialS
The Mcquls capture large number OF
rattlesnskes, wash them and dance
with them, holding the serpents 10
their teeth. Many Of the dane rs
are bitten, but the vlcti ms are at
once taken into a cave where tn
medicine man administers 40 antieote
and 70 harm ensues. This secret cure
for snake bite Is known only to one
man in each tribs, and he passes the
secret on to q chosen priest before hf
dies. No amount OF persuasion BY
white men has ever been able to wrest
this sacred and invaluable secret from
he ,India..s. A medicine man will
always let q while man die CT snake
bite rather than give him the cure.
ASIDE from putting an end to the
cruel rites of human sacrifice there
are enough secret ceremouisls Of the
Pueblo Indians yet unseen by white
men to we'll repay an investigation by
the Department OF the Interior.

all the time. He offers to led him his
suit that he wore at the fight The
bishop puts it on, so when the police
arrive they recognize the suit and rail-

is too much for the professor who de-
