The scalp dance participate in by
about twenty warriors of the Wahsatch
and Cheyenne tribes, was a lively number
on the program. The braves were in
full Indian costume and circled around the
tom tom beater and brandished knives
and hatchets in what would have been a
blood curdling fashion if one did not
know that under the ferocious looking
head dresses wore some of the most kind
hearted young men of Chevenne and
Laramie.
After the scalp dance a program of
eighteen numbers was danced. At mid
night the braves feasted. The feast was
prepared by the ladies of the order of
Chosen Friends, the menu containing
among other delicacies such appetising
dishes as young dog, fire sauce and jerked
buffalo.
The hall which was crowded with
dancers all evening was handsomely
decorated. Two wigwams were on the
stage and deer heads, furs and robes and
several magnificently mounted eagles
formed the decorations.
