Toward 9 o'clock iu the evening, while the 'Hi-yi ! hi-yi ! hi-yah !' 'Hi-yi ! hi-yi ! hi-yah !' Was going on successfully, a pleasant interruption took place. The white visitors had increased in numbers and were annoying the Indians a little by their laughter and jibes. But "Jim" is a good natured being, and bore overything with a pa'.ient good humor surprising under the circumstances, j One sprightly young man from Vir-, ginia, very sprucely dressed, over-1 stepped Jim's very liberal boundary, ' however. Carried away by the humor of the scene and pulled up by the laughter of his admiring companions at one of his brilliant sallies (pulling the feather out of an Indian's hat), this young gentleman resolved to join the dance. Seizing two of the youngest young-est squaws by the shoulders, he attempted to make room for his fashionable figure. The young women indignantly broke away from his clutch, and instantly the dance ceased and the Indians engaged in a more profitable pastime. They did not even give that young man time to 'prepare a statement,' nor hinted that they would have been 'better men in his place.' He hadn't even time to enjoy sitting on tiio 'ragged edge," but with an Indian's fist to assist him, he went down and out of that circle like the hammer of a pile-driver. Ho was severely kicked while down, and nobody, not even the two Elizabeths, felt the least sorry for him. |
