worth the price Of sdnission as Mr.. Bah
Geek has Louis Hill skinned a mile for
grace. beauty. slesaucs and seieu,ihe dane
ing with squaw ladies'.
However. alas and alack. the squa~ lady
dance was soon ovss-too soon for most of
the spectators. After q short interval the
bucks lined up for the last dance Of the
evening. only . couple Of white ladies' could
be Induced to respond 10 the invitation Of
the braves to join in the giddy ~hirl. and
as these dark. dusky dancing Dervishes
scornsd to dance with ihsir own squa~ la
dies. mos, Of them were doing stunts all
by their splendid lonely.
A cute feature Of the dance was a tiny
Indian brave and a small Indian maiden,
Of the teuder ages Of about i've years. who
were logged out in full resalia and closely
initiated their elders 10 ainsing the light
fantastic toe
These Buck and Squaw dances were GER
tainly picturesque aaairs The bucks wore
full war bonnets. buck skin suits and war
paint and stood tall and graceful in bar
baric splendor. some Of The bonO-ts hav,ss
plumes which stuck straight up loo, or
more above their heads. The squsw ladies'
wore their usual bright colored dresses. all
heavily beaded and covered with short
feathers and other oraAnssts.
Probably these two dances occupied
twesty minutes. whom biO' Indian chief
announced. IAN over. huch hungry" and
the crowd made another scramble for con-
veyances and the rush bset to town began.
Most every body walked. OF course those
who arrived upon earlier trains saw all the
Indian da6cins they cared for as No 8
only arrived in time fos The roundup. The
reporter was informed BY Mrs jim Helmsr
oil Poplar that these Indian dances had
been going on at frequsat Intervals tor four
days and that on Saturday nigh, when il
began the braves aud squsws kept II up
nearly all night. As the dances are very
firing it can be conceived that the pariici-
pants were very much fasisSed a, the wind
up. so that il lacked the snihusiasm and
vim Of the earlier times.
The Culbertson crowd were informed
that they could return home on the Hill
Special and As there-wsrer some two hun
dred Of them--and only the observation car
available for them to travel on. tn, home
trip can be better imagined than described.
Probably twenty or thirty ladies' were &C.
comodated with seats while every one else
stood up during the two hours journey. a
part Of the time being consumed at Brock.
ton waiting Tor the fast mail to pass.
