What he saw is described in
this lotter sent from the fort: '
danced with the snakes, and s smaller
number who formed a chorus of singing
\ men. These bitter were the^Jtts?*to
oomeupon the scene, and were dressed
in bright colored embroidered kilts,
fashes, anklets and beautifully tanned
yellow foxskins hanging down behind
the body. They bore small rattles in
.ooo hand, while in the other was held ai
?tick, *^ which w<?8 fastened couple of

Bfo and lets the snake's tutelary god
know that none of his progeny will be
tn j tared cr carried to remote lands.
These men made four or five circuits
ofjlfaes^lK plaza and. then took -np n
portion to the west side of it. In the
center 0/ ^tbe plaza [was a- cottonwood
thea. After they had arranged them?
selves properly, in a state of extraordi?
nary, exaltation, the .snaie :men? came.
in to bound across the mesa
with a single stride,.
These dancing men, like their prede
cee^irs,Imade four circuits around ?
large rock which stands in the center of .
the place. They then faced the chorus
and a song was gone through with. Af
- ter this ceremony the snake men were
divided into groups of three, and one
from each three went into the cotton?
wood shed and extracted a snake from
one of the loga, and after putting it into
his mouth and firmly: ?sing it there
Kritik his teeth, he s carted -on his round
A DISGUSTING SCENE.
. Hrs companion, with his arm around
Iiis neck, kept the tail of the snake in
position with his left hand, while with
Ids right, in which he carried a stick
W^f?^^fe^hersatta^hed, he kept
the serpent from' becoming entangled in
the hair of the dancer. The snake, af ter ,
being carried asoioK^i&? t?rele, -was ';
thrown from the month, when the third
tnember of the group gathered it np and
carried it for the rat'of the dance.
At times tbe serpents would try to
make their escape and would make a
dash for liberty through the crowds
which surrounded the dancers, and the
spectators would scatter in all directions

The visits to the shed were continued
untn at least 150 snakes had been
' brought from the inclosure, and all ap?
peared to be in excellent condition, judg
faigffvr?an the manner in which they re
sirtecf capture '?h er they had" been
di ?7-ped frc m the i?outh. Two or three
instances were noticed of large, bull
snakes being held by the neck and twin- '
mg their bodies around the legs of the
dancers. In ene instance the snake had
so entwined himself around the per?
former that, he was unable to move for
fear of falling? Thia predicament caused ?
% great outburpt 0/ laughter,: but it
looked ^jj?^g?fbat /un?y ?tp; t]b>
dancer.
Those who danced with the snakes
sot infrequently had three or four in
the mouth at t1 ? same time, which, of
all the .perform e, was the most re?
pulsive.' * To see- these naked human be?
ings going around with, the face com
ple^y hidden behind a mask of twist
lag and sq airming snakes was enough
tn make the stoutest hearted man shud?
der with disgust, yet the other members
of the tribe greeted these manifestations
with applause.
SNAKES CHEWED rv HALVES.
The applause of %he; spectators urged
the dancens. to^greater feats, and as the
dance proce^?e^blexwrformauce became
most hom we to behold. Some of the
dancers would take two large rattlers in
the mouth at the same time, and as they
slowly swung around the circle would
chew on the living snakes until, in some
instances, the serpents would fall to the
ground completely bitten in two. One
dancer, who appeared to be a leader, at
one time had six serpents in his mouth,
and tiie swinging ends of the reptiles
made a gorgoa appearance of his head as
be wraped tJ????. the outer edge of the
?freie.
This ceremony lasted two hours, and
when the dance was over the partici
pants were thoroughly exhausted. While
during the dance they had been upheld
by the ecstatic condition, the reaction
was terrible, and while there was no
permanent injury to the darners, it took
several days for them to recuperate, j
This time was spent in sleeping and 1
drinking a weak sort of broth made
from the dead snakes which had per- 1
ished in the ceremony. During this !
dance there is a peculiar luster of the
body and eyes which would indicate that
the performers had been medicated and
prepared for^.the ordeal through which
they were al
