Scare Off Yegg
Group in Attempt ;
To Steal Fast Car

Houlton, Sept. ia party of
strangers driving small automobile
were detected in an attempt to steal a
fast motor car in Danforth today ard
driven off. 1t is thought that they
are the gang who attempted burglary
of the Tarbell store at Smyrna Mills
Tuesday night and who robbed two
stores in Patten Monday night.
Early this morning a party of men
in a small car drove up to the Houlton
Hospital and asked medical aid for one
of their number, whom they said was
suffering from cramps and needed
something hot. 1t being very late. and
the men presenting such a rough APP
rearance, the nurses were afraid to ad-
NIT them and they drove away. II is
thought that the man with cramps"
may have been the burglar fired at by
the Waterman at Tarbell's store at
Smyrna Mills.

that upon the record before us we
cannot legally disallow it,"
With regard to coal purchases and
the price paid by the utility the
commission says: Gin fact, there
appeared to be a suspicion on the
part of the counsel that because the
utility was purchasing some coal
from mining company in which
it's general manager was an officer
and stakeholder, the amounts charg-
ed were more than the market price.
DO evidence was introduced to war
rant the charge. The coal exhibit
above referred to indicates that the
utility did in fact purchase large

Old Ceremony of
Indian Tribe
Is Reenacted
CONTINUED from page one,)

Continued from page one.)
In which the cedar tree-symbolic
OF strength and long life-is the
center. There is prayer for long
life for the individuals Of the tribe
and for the tribe itself, and fes-
tival Of JOY for the blessings OF
nature in providing bounteous crops.
Cedar Tree Ceremony
About $50 participated in the cere-
mony. A cedar tree was sanctified
at the altar of the lodge and then
placed outside the lodge. Gifts were
laid before it as thanksgiving for the
many blessings. The tree is to be
left standing before the lodge until
the ice goes out in the Missouri in
the spring. Then moccasins of little
children are fastened to the branches,
and the tree is carried in sacred pro-
ccssion to the river, placed in the
current and, allowed to float down
stream. 1t carries as it drifts down
the stream the message of the Ari-
karas to the old village sites along
the river-for the migration of the
Arikaras has been northward on the
Missouri--that the 'Arikara tribe con-
tinues, holds the old, sacred cere-
monies and still has hope for the
future.
The third stage is that Of the
Mother Corn" ceremony. 1t is most
particularly an agricultural festival
"a blessing of the fields. a prayer
for good crops, a thanksgiving for
bounteous Providence in the past and
hope for the future crop. The time
of this ceremony varied from the
planting to the harvesting Of the crop
in olden times, being continued at
intervals. 1t was beautiful, poetic
ceremony, in which hymns were sung.
Gifts were given in the name OF
Mother Corn" Anyone could give a
gift--rich or poor, according to means
and the gifts after the ceremony
were distributed among those who
served in the ceremonies and those
in need.
Everything in this ceremony cen
tered around corn. Indeed, corn en-
ters into all Of the Arikara cere-
monies from the cradle to the grave,
DR.. Gilmore said. During this time
children are brought up and given
names and recognized as members of
the tribe. Several children we're
brought forward in the rites per-
formed for DR.. Gilmore.
Against Policy
The teachings Of the ceremonies
are those of good citizenship, accord
ing to DR.. Gilmore, who does not
agree with the Indian Bureaus policy
of prohibiting them. The Indians, at
this ceremony performed for the
scientists, mourned their inability to
have the ceremonies once again.

they should be deprived of their
agricultural festivals OF praise.

Gilmore. "Why shouldn't the ma

all shook hands with DR.. Gilmore
