Years Old, Seen by
Few Scientists.

BD Science Service
SANTA FE, N. M. Oct. 23.-Con-
cealed in underground chambers in
Pueblo villages are battle trophies
winch Pueblo warriors took from
the Spanish conquerors in hard
fought battles four hundred years
ago.
These old leather shields and
spear heads, swords and halberds,
nave been seen by only a few white
men, scientists engaged in research
work. Some of these visitors have
Deen allowed to look, but not toucn,
when they were brought TO the hid
ing places Of the trophies.
Certain Of these old Spanish
arms are at the present time in
Underground chambers in the old,
nearly deserted village of Oraibi,"
reports Arthur Woodward of the
Los Angeles museum who has been
visiting the Pueblos
Some Of the weapons have been
given to the old people who are
the spirits Of the departed Hopi
Indians. The Spanish arms have
been given them along with old
masks, old pottery vessels and other
bits of sacred paraphernalia, to be
used by them when they return at
intervals from the underworld TO
hold ghostly dances in the old plaza
at Oraibi.
Other pieces of the captured
arms have been transported to a
= nearby village, where they are kept
hidden"
Until recent years, Woodward ex-
plains, young men of Oraibi carried
spears, halberds and swords in
dances.
Three fine old leather shields.
which belonged to Spanish soldiers
from the preside of Santa Fe and
I which were captured in battle by
Indians of Acoma, now are on exhi-
bition in Santa Fe. The shields. oval
with indentations at top and bot
tom, we're obtained by collectors
from the Indians who owned them.
Upon the faces of these shields,
which are made of two pieces of
heavy bull hide laced together, are
painted the coat of arms of old
Spain in red, yellow and green.
