SACRIFICE TO FIRE GOD
BURNING MONEY A CUSTOM AT
INDIAN FUNERALS.
Part Of Ceremony When Body Is
Cremated-Government to
Stop Practice.

Prevention Of the burning Of money
10 q serious problem with which the
Indian once has had to cope recently.
Although In most parts OF the United
States no municipal or state ordinances
are considered necessary to prevent the
burning Of legal tender, ofYicials OF the
bureau Of Indian affairs have found 1t
necessary to take radical steps to stop
this unique practice among the Indians
In the Yuma district OF California.
II has been the custom of the Indians
In that section. according to an Official
Of the bureau here. to burn all the
property Of a deceased member Of the
tribe. 1t frequently happened that an
Indian would die leaving a considerable
amount OF real money. The cash. as
we'll as all his other personal property,
was therefore sacrificed to the god Of
IRE.
Two Thousand Dollars Burned.
Dispatches from Los Angeles, Cal.
tell Of the recent sacrifice of $4,000
by Indians at the cremation of the body
Of one OF their tribe, Jose Escalate. He
had been a teacher in the government
school at Old Fort Yuma, and had saved
up a big pile Of Uncle Sans wampum.
He fell in love with a white girl: but
when his suit was rejected he commit
ted suicide.
Several incidents Of the sacrifice Of
coin OF the realm as a part OF the
superstitious rites Of burial came to
the notice Of the Indian bureau. and
the omcials have recently taken steps
to stop it. The superintendent OF the
Yuma district has been instructed to
put his foot down on the practice and
the help Of the United States attorney
for the district has been asked.
