A Sun Dance at Rosebud.

Valentine, Neb., July Especial to
The News: The Fourth of July cele-
bration at Rosebud agency was pull
ed off according to the program there
being about 1000 Indians present and
several hundred whites. The first
thing in the morning was the grand
charge in which about 1000 Indians
on horseback took part, charging
down on the camp dressed in their
war paint yelling and shooting like so
many demons, making scene that
would be long remembered. Then the
sham battle took place before dinner
in which the warriors all took part
showing the cunning of the red skins
and it was well played out. After
dinner the chief event of the day was
the sun dance in which over $50 war
riors dressed in loin cloths and paint
took part, the principal chief stand
ing in the center where the totom
poles were. They all faced the sun
chanting and the chief having whis-
ties on which they blew keeping time
to the beating of the tom-tom drum.
The Indians danced in toward the cen
ter and then back again, making a
weird sight all jaunted up and dane
ing in the broiling sun, stopping ever
once in a while to hold their hands
out and up toward the sun, the pose
showing off the fine figures making
them hook like statues in bronze.
The dance continued till dark and
was resumed again on the fifth.
This is the first sun dance since
1884 and was the exact dance, leaving
out the torture part, the old custom
to be for the dancers to run sticks
through the smens of their back and
breasts and then fasten them to
ropes which were tied to the center
totom pole, then dancing until they
dropped from exhaustion. Before the
sun dance began big Omaha dance
was pulled off and the squaws taking
part in that, but no squaws were al
lowed in the sun dance.

up SlOSNSh 'SSS'S'
Norfolk probably is as quiet and as
gloomy as Reno today. Many bets
were placed on the defeated Jeff and
the 81 told you so" man is out telling
how he had it all doped out Saturday
that Johnson was the winner, where
in reality he himself had bets on Jef.
AS a whole Norfolk is sorry over the
outcome of the fight, and the majority
of fight fans here seem to have no Ill
feeling toward the black champion.
IT'S too bad that Jeff lost the fight"
SAYS one fight fan, "but he had no busl'
ness in the first place to fight the
negro"
A local man who lost S26 on the
fight remarked to friend, After Jeft
was defeated | went off and cried by
myself, not because / lost my money
but just because JEFF let that negro
whip him"
Jeff knew before he entered the
ring that he was going to be defeated
says another.
If anybody lost on the fight late
Monday afternoon it was his own fault
Some out-of-town visitors who were
among the large audience in the Audi
torium, made hasty steps to the tele
graph office, where they sent mes
sages to their friends advising then
of the result of the battle, telling them
to get up a bet If possible. Some Of
this easy money probably found its
way into the hands of some OF these
crooked sports.
