CREMATION PRACTISED
BY YUMA INDIANS

The greatest display OF natural in

tribal custom of cremation. This, ac-
cording to their legends, was taught
them by their Creator. Mateyilye, and
they follow his instructions with true
Indian tenacity. One o my una In
lerpreters of the past season came to

see why the old chap should be punish

against his will. 1t Is likely that an
ethnolosist would make a poor mis-.

something of an argument for his de-
sire to change their way of disposing
of the body, as it is certain that Ne

"One thing more that / realized, OUT

which the newspaper has in the opin-
