THE SUN DANCE.
II Has Nothing to Do with the Sun-Is
More Like Ancient Bacchanal.
T. Dorsey, writing in the Los

DR.. Dorsey, writing in the Los Ange-
les Herald of the native tribes of the
west, remarks that what is known as
the sun dance has no evidence of the sun
in il.
1t is instead an ancient rite continued
till much of the reason for its institu-
ton has been forgotten. but what is
known is that it is regular in recurring.
that it is kept up eight days and illus
trates the creation or regeneration of the
world. This would seem to denote that
il is a counterpart of the Bacchic rites
and Adonis worship of former periods in
which, under the figure of the death and
resurrection of the divine being. the
whitening and renewed growth of vege-
tation were implied.

was not built until several years later.
Indian depredations at that time were
not uncommon, although the establish
ment of the fort afforded in some de-
gree protection for life and property
Occasionally, though, there would be
sudden outbreaks and the Indians
would steal or kill teams and cattle and
burn anything to be found in the way
of buildings Mr.. Anthony and Mr..
Wright we're in partnership in 1868
and at different times were the victims
of Indian outbreaks White men were
staying the buffalo and the Indians in
retaliation would kill or steal the
horses and cattle of the whites. The
last raid upon Mr.. Wright and Mr.. An
thony which was taken Into account
in the claim just allowed by the gov
eminent was in August, 1868, and this
time the stables in which a large num-

burned In 1872 the Santa Fe road
reached Dodge City and with the road
came more settlers and more hunting
parties The buffalo were killed or
driven further back and with the buff
falo the Indians drifted to more remote
places Twenty years elapsed and then
a law was passed providing for the
losses of the old Indian days Later q
claim was put in by Mr.. Anthony and
after the elapse of more years the
claim is allowed now at a time when
the story of Indian depredations seems
something which belongs to another
