If the latter have proved their worthiness in the chase, select the candidates by a viva voce vote. Women are not permitted In the estufa. The officers elected are a governor of the village, war chief, police official and a council of five members aa a kind of cabinet for the governor. The governor, by the advice and consent of bis cabinet sets the time for the chase, when the entire village turns out; also designates the time to irrigate the little patches, the time to go to work and la ex officio admlnls> trator of Justice. The wsr chief directs the pasturing of stock and pre> vents depredations a poo private property. He ia the chief of police, coostable. Judge and Jury combined. Only serious cases of crime are referred to the governor and council. After the election of officers a grand dance takes place. The braves are dressed In buckskin pantaloons, with whit* iWfnn shirt Til* headlines It of the skin of the deer or fox. the tall of the snlmal banging down the | back u en ornament. Some of the heeddreeeee of the official* are prettily decorated with bright fee then and sometimes eegle plnmea. Their facee are pointed In yellow and white etripea, ' relieved by red spots on the cheeka I They wear moccaalna of leather. The braves form In a doable line and march around the Tillage, preceded by the officers end the cacique, or eptrltnel bead. Each brave carries In hie left bend a goord half filled with psbbfce and nicked at the top. In hie right hand is a convex stick, which he eaws across the gourd and at the same time firea the coord a abaka or rattle. Tbia ex cm dating noise la portly drowned by the general chant In which all join. The aoog la a monotone; aa If the singer were telling a story or netting historical sketches, and ifHtnlj It I breaks out into a wild and load bUrs, ! like the crash of the dements of die* cord in the grand opera of civilisation. The dance la a hippetty hop, and the movement la slow on til one of these : breeke la aoonded, and then It la dellrlooa, like a war dance.
