News comes from Pawhuska, In Tho

has perhaps the queerest and the
most pathetic history. Twenty-Five

buried in pile of loosely placed
stones. The Osages put food enough
on his tomb to last him for two
weeks and tethered his pony near by
so that he might ride in case he got
weary of his tramp to the happy hunt
ing ground.
But John was not dead; he was
only the victim of cataleptic fit.
Some time during the night ne came
to hiself. kicked down the stones of
his loosely made grave and returned
through the sleeping Indian village
to his home on Bird Greek.
The next morning when the In
dams saw John on the street they
fed in all directions. deeming him a
ghost returned from the dead. From
that day to this no Usage Indian has
ever spoken to him. The tribe will
not even allow him to wear gayly
colored blanket or the gorgeous tur-
ban which among the Osages is sym
bolic OF dignity. Several times John
has built a house. but in each in
stance the Osages have torn 1t down

The Osages are very Arm In their

declare. "and has beheld things not

Indians will treat his body as they
have treated him living. He will not
be buried with any Indian ceremonies.
