56CURIOUS PROCEEDINGS AT THE "WILD WEST." The Indians at Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, now in Birmingham, having in grand council assembled, come to the conclusion that the thief who purloined the sum of about one hundred pounds from the tent of Mrs. Whittaker, the "mother of the camp," on Friday is in their midst, have adopted some curious means to detect him and obtain the restoration of the money. They have, in fact, resorted to a "powwow," a ceremony known only to the tribes of the Sioux, Chevennes, Shoshones, and Crows, the Indians holding firmly to the belief that by these means the discovery of the miscreant is certain. Three "pow-wows" have already been held, the last taking place last night. After the performance the Indians returned to their quarters in the hall, and made ready for the curious proceedings that followed. The "medicine men" of the tribe assembled in one of the tents, while all the other Indians gathered outside and squatted in a ring around, preserving a most solemn silence. The intiatory proceeding was the broiling of a dog which had been procured for a moderate sum in the town. | 56CURIOUS PROCEEDINGS AT THE "WILD WEST."
