INDIAN POW-WOW HELD
AT CARLISLE SCHOOL.
Similar to. Gatherings Held in Past
BY Superintendent c. J. Gran
dali in Santa Fe.

{By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Carlisle, Pa, Dec. 1.-The first In
dian pow-wow for years at the Indian
school here was conducted during the
past few days, when four dusky, giant
Cheyenne chiefs from the Tongue Riv-
er reservation in Montana, visited the
children of the tribe at the govern
ment's educational institution, and la
ter showed the marks of civiliZing in.
fluence when they quietly slipped into
drug store and silently slipped choc-
olate milk-shakes.
At the pow-wow the four chiefs to-
gether with the 80 Cheyenne students
at the school, talked of the advant-
ages the white men are giving them.
Through an interpreter they talked to
Superintendent Friedman, and de-
clared themselves more than ever con-
verted to education and that they
would 60 back to their people and talk
and send them to school. These same
old fellows have been strong oppon
ents in the past of the white mans
education. More amazing than any.
thing else, the four chiefs agreed that
it would be best that their children
should speak no Indian language, that
they should forget the past and seek
citizenship in the future.
The Cheyenne chiefs, who stopped
off ON their return to Montana from
Washington, were Charles Nonyak,
Charles Toe Ball, William Bighead,
and Little Son. Accompanying them
was an interpreter and Red Water, a
former Indian school student and
member of the foot ball eleven Of 1898
but who is now prosperous farmer.
Chief Little Son was one of General
Nelson A. Miles scouts during the In
dian uprisings On the Sioux reserva'
tions and also at the time of the Gus
ter massacre. The chief met Genera
Miles in Washington the other day
quite Unexpectedly and the two had a
long pow-wow over old times.

Bank Robbed.
For several days, armed bands OF
robbers and hoodlums have gone
about Canton looting shops and hous-

revolvers, walked boldly into a bank
in a southern suburb and got away
with $1,000 in cash. About the same
time band of seven armed ratives
clustered into. the open market and
boldly plundered two prominent shops
before the eyes Of hundreds of panic
stricken on-lookers.
They secured several hundred dol
