Gypsies Abandon Farms.

Spiritwood-Gypsy life had too
strong hold on band Of gypsies
that thought a bit Of farming life
would satisfy them better than a con-
tinuation Of the roaming habit Thir-
teen families came to Spiritwood
about a year ago, purchasing farms
and commenced operating them, but
one by one they have all gone away
and now only one Of the families re-
main here. The gypsies admit that
the idea Of farm life was not to their
liking, and that was the reason they
again took I'D their travels.

Montreal, Quebec. - It is the
opinion Of August Blanckerts, aid Of
the balloon GermaHia, that Allan r.
Hawley and Augustus Post Of New
York, pilot and aid respectively of the
America H., which left st. Louis last
Monday and from whom no word has
since been received, are fighting for
their lives through the wilderness Of
northern Quebec.
Mr.. Blanckerts arrived here from
La Toque, Quebec, some distance
from the spot where the Germania
landed on Wednesday,. He and Cap.
tain Hugo Won Abercron had a des.
perate fight for their lives after COM
ing to earth. They were 80 hours
forging to the railway line with only
few crusts of bread for sustenance.
Their clothing was torn to shreds and
they were almost in state of collapse
when they struck the railroad. There
they met a construction gang and from
them learned that large yellow bal
loon had preceded the Germania over
practically the same route by half an
hour. The railroad men told Blanck-
erts that the other balloon was very
high up and maintained the same alti-
tude until she passed out Of sight to.
ward the Ungava wilderness.
Mr.. 1lanckerts Is Positive.
Mr.. Blanckerts expressed the opin.
ion that the balloon was the America
II. The later report of the landing of
the Dusseldorf II. in the same region
explains to the satisfaction of many
the appearance of the first balloon
but Mr.. Blanckerts has not changed
his opinion.
Colonel Theodore Schaeck, pilot OF
the Helvetia, met Blanckerts here Sat
urday night and after comparing notes
found that the Germania had gone 100
miles farther than the Helvetia. The
Dusseldorf H., according to unofficia
estimates, exceeded the distance rec
ord Of the Germania by about 70 miles
The Germania came to earth al
11:15 a. m. Wednesday. At that time
there was still considerable ballast OF
board, and the big balloon could hav'
kept in the air for several hour,
longer, but Captain Won Abercrol
feared that they were passing entirel!
beyond the lines Of civilization and i
was this that prompted him to land.

GETS INDIAN cURlos.
Noted AnthropoIogist Returns From
Study Of Indians at Fort Berthold.

Noto0 AntnFoPoIo91St neturuS from
Study Of Indians at Fort Berthold.
Grand Forks.-Dr. Robert H. LOWE,
assistant curator of the department of
anthropology at the American Museum
of Natural History, has just returned
from four months trip spent among
the Crow Indians Of Montana and
among the tribes Of Indians in North
Dakota, known as the Tidatsa, Mandan
and Arakara, says The New York Sun
Of last Sunday.
The object of DR.. Lowie's trip was to
gather data in regard to the social and
ceremonial life of the Indians in the
northwest and to collect speciments to
illustrate the life of the savages as we'll
as the old crafts and industries. The
first three months DR.. LOWE spent in
Montana, and the last month he lived
on the Fort Berthold reservation in
North Dakota. He has succeeded in
gathering full data in regard to the
military societies and considerable
material relating to the various tribes
in the west.
The specimens DR.. LOWE obtained
include a number OF badges used by
Indians and sacred paraphernalia en-

pressive ceremonials. Among the spec
linens are several buffalo skins, shields,
|ornamented with symbo1fcal painting
and medicine bundles containing sa-
cred tobacco seeds used in the annual
tobacco planting ceremony, now the
greatest religious festival celebrated by
the Crows.
DIR. LOWE also obtained a lagre
number of sacred rocks used by the
Crows. An interesting piece in his COL
lection is a sacred doll employed in the
sun dance. It is made Of rough leather
and rudely ornamented with few
feathers.
A curious object found by DR.. LOWE
is an otter skin staff used by the In.
dams as standard by certain officers
in the military societies. The bearer
of this standard is supposed to plant
it firmly in the ground and then make
brave stand against the enemy, re-
CARELESS of personal danger If he re-
treats after planting the standard he
is disgraced for life. All Of these cur
los will be placed on view In the In
dian hall Of the museum.
DR.. LOWE made a preliminary trip
three years ago to the Crow country,
but this year he was able to make a
more exhaustive study Of the Indian
life and ceremonials.
