INDIANS WORSHIP SUN
Ancient Customs Carried Out
Amid Weird Surroundings.
Every Year In Midsummer Bannock
~Indians Go to Dancing Grounds
for Rite of Thanks.
Pocatello, Idaho.—Every year In
midsummer the ISnnuock Indians
travel a little-used trail to their danc
ing grounds. Between S0O and 1.000 of
them pather yearly to Worship the sun.
In the vast quiet of the evening,
when the hush has fallen over the sage
brush and the sun Is a groat ball of
red flre sinking behind the mountains,
the dreary beat of their tomtoms and
the low, ghostly chant of their song
can be heard for miles. The sound
grows In strength as oue approaches
until with a great burst of glaring
campflres and seeming confusion the
camping grounds are reached. Indians
In their native gnrb are everywhere,
hideous In their war paints and with
glistening naked bodies.
In the center of a corral made from
limbs stands a pole, Hack against the
walls are the dancers and the chant
ers. and In rhythm to the beaf of the
tomtoms the daucer advances to the
pole, eyes uplifted in worship.
The young bucks who dance are not
permitted to eat or drink for three
days and are accompanied by the tom
toms beaten by the squaws. The dance
Is a religious rite and festival of
thanks to the gods for bountiful crops
and herbs, streams full of fish und the
sky full of fowls.
Now and then ono falls to the
ground unconscious from physical ex
haustion nnd Is carried to the side to
recover.

IE MOON I
OF THE FLATWOOPJf
YID ANDERSON^
I COPYRIGHT BY THE B03BS-MER.RJLL COMPANY
The men who hunted the river mus
sel along the Wabash before the days
of the buttnu Industry hunted It for
the pearl sometimes found imbedded
between Its flesh and shell. Straggling
tip and down the streams, often singly,
sometimes In crews, they were a shift
less, fiery, reckless breed—of a feather
with the buccaneers of other days, and
led on by the same lure; a chance
lliug at fortune. A pearl of great
value wsw sometimes found—even run
ning well up- into the thousands, lint
the chance of finding such a pearl was
small. Still there was the chance, and
It Is surprising what a certain type
of men will endure for such a chance,
when the same ends might be at
tained, certain aud sure, by patient In- ]
dustry.
A grizzled old river man sat with
the nose of his skiff jammed up on the
gravel by the bow of the houseboat
when the lVnrlhtmter came down the
slope. The Boss they called him, the
river men. because In his long years In
I the Indnstfv he had managed to
| scrape together an "outfit" and work
a crew of "clammers" too poor to hunt
' alone. Mis hands were still upon the
I oars. The F'earlhunter pushed the I
boat oft and sprang in, directing the
Boss ti> row around by the stern of the
houseboat after the fish spear he had
been tiling that afternoon.
"See y'u've moved," the Boss ob
served as the skill' slipped out into the
stream.
"Mother's cough," was the answer.
"She thought It would help her to get
up there under the trees."
"That cough—it'll git away with 'er,
If she hain't keorful. She oughta have
medicine."
"I told her so, but she won't have
It."
The P30SS did not pursue the point.
A woman's will was something he
never took the (rouble to question.
Having rowed out into the current,
nfter the Penrlhunter secured his
spear, he turned the nose of the skiff
down stream and shipped his cmrs long
enough to light his pipe.
"Mother tiling Imck a little right at I
the last." the young man said, his
mind doubtless dwelling on the un
usual experience, the first experience
In his life, of actually living upon
land. "She was afraid somebody
might not like us to move Into the
cabin, ltut I told her they couldn't do
more than make us move out."
"Afear'd of th' Wild Man. wus she?"
The younger man looked up.
"Say. tell me about that Wild Man.
She did mention him this afternoon."
Tlie Hoss took the pipe from his lips
and blew away the smoke In a slow
cloud, as if wishing to prolong the feel
of it upon hi* tongue.
"The Wild Man." lie pondered, "a
harmless ol* cuss, an' pitiful to see..
Seven year he's been in these Fiat
woods. Hit ain't often a body gits a
glimpse uv 'iin. I did once—a tall ol*
ghost of a man—tall as you' a'most—
but a face on 'im the pitifulest you
ever see. An* like a ghost he comes;
and like a ghost he goes—nobody
knows where to. They say he's got a
daughter s.imcwhere's up in the hills
tliar. but I never see'd her."
The Itoss went back to his pipe. Tlie
other sat pondering what he bad just
heard.
•'No. it wasn't on account of the
Wild .Man." lie resumed, as if in an
swer to the Koss* first question. "She
was afraid somebody might 111 r>ke us
leave."
"An' that'll be a long while a-doin',"
the Boss answered. "They ain't no
body in this quarter o' th' world has
got th* right t' do that. That Ian' b*'
longs t' Colonel Warbrltton. Ever lieai
tell of him''"
"I never did."
"lie owns hundreds and hundreds ol
acres—five or six sections, I guess—
layin' in a square right along the river
here, th* very heart and flower uv th'
Flatwoods. That's his east line back
tliar where the Itiver road bends
north. It'll be many a long day b'fore
he orders anybody off. He's got so
much b'sides I don't s'pose he hardly
knows he's got this. I doubt if he ever
seen it."
The floss let the oars drift while he
turned his head and sat a moment
sweeping his eyes up and down the
dim. forest-bound shore line.
"Them Warbrittons is a remarkable
race," he resinned. "Fire eaters every
one. Soldiers an' fighters sence th'
Lord knows when. In times long ago
they wus a clan. They had n flag with
a gray wolf on it, an' they called their*
selves the Gray Wolf clan. They say
every man in the clan wus brave, an'
every woman virtuous. An' that's
what they prided thelrselves on spe
cial partic'iar. They wus all big
men. They wus five of 'em In the
Revolution; two with Clark; an' four
in the war of '12."
The Piarihunter bent forward and
hung upon the words. Somehow they
strauxeb" stirred him.
-1 tit ih' Injuns under this Colonel
Warbritton. Th' soldiers use' t' talk
nliout '!m a lot around tli* campflre.
That's how I come t' know s* much
about 'im. Hit wus me that saved his
scalp at Horseshoe lieud." A tang of
pride crept into the hard tones of the
grizzled old river man. "His hoss got
shot through th' brains an' fell s'
quick he caught th" colonel's foot, an'
1 stood over 'im with th' bayonet
whilst he got loose. We sent seven
screeehln' heathens t' hell that day
b'fore he'p come. That's how I got t'
be a. sergeant. Hit wus th' best he
could do fer a man that hadn't «io

nfenr'd of pitrin' driv' nut o' th' cabin.
If the colonel whs here, lie wouldn't."
lie clutched the onrs in earnest A
few lusty strokes drove the bout down
to where the glare from the cnmpflre
of the Boss' crew of "clnmuiers" flared
out across the water. There he turned
In to got the Jack light.
A dirtier bunch of men than the five
lounging about that cnmpflre couldn't
be found anywhere else In the world
except in another "clnmmer's" camp.
The practice of the early pearl fishers
was to put the clams in vats and al
low them to die there and rot. This
muck was afterward carefully "han
dled" for whatever pearls it might con
tain.
The ordinary .jack light is simply an
oil burner—in early days a candle, or
tire of pine knots—arranged with a re
flector—on the bow of I lie boat In such
a way as to throw the full brilliancy
of the light down upon the water,
leaving the fisherman himself In dark
ness. Such a light, if .the night he
dark and the water quiet and clear, l
renders objects beneath the surface
perfectly plain to a considerable depth.
While the Ross was fastening the
jack light to the how of the-boat the
I'earlhnnter stepped ashore to blacken
the points of the freshly sharpened
spear in the blaze of the campfire, for
all fishermen know It Is never advis
able to strike with a spear that glit
ters. fie knew every man of them
around the tire. Rut a toss of his
hand, a toss of live hands In response,
was all that passed between them—
men that would I®vc carried a com
rade for miles at need; that would
share the last bite with him; that
would knife him just as readily at a
fancied grievance. Such were the
river men; a law unto themselves—a
simple code, warped fantastically—
with knife luid pistol for judge and
jury; a leftover product of other days
when clansmen followed their chief
and asked no questions; u bi-product
of the border who found it hard to
disarm when civilization caiue in.
The Boss slipped an oar Into the
water and laid the boat more toward
the south shore, over the deepest part
of the bar. Hardly hid he done so
when the Pearlhunter lowered the
point of his spear. The outline of an
immense black bass took shape under
the glare of the jack light, half hidden
among the swaying verdure, as If ly
lnc in wait for his prey, which in all
likelihood he was, a scaly tiger of the
stream In ambush. The spear slid Into
the water and stole toward him. All
tinajartned he lay, his fins Idly fanning
the fern-like moss in which he lurked,
little suspecting the five-pronged death
creeping upon him. The points were
irltliin three feet of the glossing scales
ivhen the Pearlhunter struck. There

shoxver of spray broke the surface of
the water, and all was over. A fish
does not struggle long when the spear
goes home.
"Slx-pounder. If he's an ounce."
chuckled the Hoss when fue fish lay In
the bottom of the boat. The l'earl
hnnter rested his spear upon the gun
wale and bent above the jack light.
The boat drifted on.
It was perhaps half an hour later
when. In the leisurely manner of men
returning from a season of successful
sport, the two fishermen, with the pick
of all they bad floated over In the
bottom of the boat, rowed up the
stream. The glare of the caippfire
wns beginning to slither upon the drip
ping oar blades anil the ripjjles they
raised when the Boss laid the boat
nearer the south sbure with the re
mark :
"Here's whore we're expect in' t'
h'lst th' shiners tomorrow—all along
here, .list look at th' tracks. Slake a
right smart track, don'l lliey. for a
beast wlthoiit no feet?"
The Pearlhunter made no answer.
Crouched down by the jack IM t well
toward the bow of the boat, lie had
been for some time watehin:: ihe un
usually thick tangle of winding murks
upon the slimy bottom, plowed there
by the mussels or clams while feed
ing, dozens and hundreds of the creep
ing bivalves, half hurled in the ooze,
at that very moment dotting the river
bed.
The Boss was In the very act of
turning the boat across the river to
the camp when he was startled by an
excited exclamntlon from his compan
ion, who bad suddenly leant low and
dangerously fnr out over the water.
He wns up on the instant and had
flashed the jack light around the boat.
In his dripping hand there was an im
mense river mussel.
The old Boss had no sooner caught
the bluish-purple glitter sheading from
the hinge knobs of the giant bivalve
than he uttered a shoutxthat waked
the echoes up and down the river
shore, and brought the five men at the
camp running down to the water's
edge.
"A Blue Moon I" he yelled. "By the
gods, a Blue Moon 1"
