Lewis rewsnims, of the Carlisle Indian school, is probably the fsstes, amateur in the land today at dis. tances from ten to twenty miles.

 Little wonder Tewauima can run though. He is a Moki, and all Mokis can run. It's part of their life and religion The Moki's home is in Ari- zona- Moki land, It is called.
