of the board of education to send out sample ballots lr the chief reason for th defeat by a scant margin of the three proposals In tbe $520000 school bond election The board of education refrained from sending out tha ballots as a measure of economy said Secretary Smith Tha ballot would have cost approximately $500 he said with $300 of the amount the coat of postage Thera was great confusion at the polls dus to the fact that voters were not sure where they were to cast ballot Many did not attempt to vote for thla reason while others striving to find th proper precinct voting place stood in lines only to find they wera at the wrong school In some Instances this delay made voters too 1st to cast a ballot before the polls closed Hubbard superintendent of schools saya he does not believe the board of education will favor submitting a similar election soon unless the board has much greater assurance of the carriage of the issues than in tha election just held He aald in face of the returns It would require assurance that a raster amount of work bs done ere by bond supporters Hubbard also aald there is no assurance the Public Works Administration will grant a continuance of its $264600 grant for sufficient time to hold another election Hubbard Issued a statement saying the high school bond proposal Involving a federal grant of $264-000 was rejected by a margin of one-quarter of 1 per cent of the ballots cast He said the proposal waa approved by 6642 per rent of the voters and a vote of 6667 per cent would have carried the Issue The margin by which the other proposals were defeated was approximately the same he said LAST BITES ARE SET Funeral rites for Kalomet Kech loian 4-year-old son of Mr and Mrs Simon Kechloian of Fresno who was killed when an automobile was struck

where the fresh-turned earth could be seen from the doorways of the survivors The house In which the Indian had died and all of hie bielongings were burned Throughout the succeeding three days and nights tha same poignant grief-stricken cries and moans were continued without cease At the end of that time the dead person was considered to have arisen from the grave and to have gone far to the north to Tlh-pik'-nits Pehn Women Bob Hair In Grief Until after tbe next annual Lo-nec'-wto or mourning ceremony all mention of tbe departed was avoided During this time close female relatives wore their hair bobbed and covered their faces with pitch and charcoal Neither they nor the close male relatives bathed or changed clothes Neither did they eat meat or any solid food FDr six days and nights during the Lo-nee'-wis an old established dance program was carried out The songs and dances to the dead were never stopped They were carried on under a tense religious atmosphere even to the point of utter collapse of the participants At the end of the Lo-nee'-wis and during a definite ceremony the faces of the mourners were washed by a paid official called Goo'-nee This person also dressed them ia new clothes Thus ended the first and most heart-rending period of their mourning But the loss of a close relative was always deeply felt Often the name wee never heard again In some tribes a new name was used Great Ghoet Dance Recalled The depth of feeling for the departed indulged in by the Yokuts of the San Joaquin Valley created great possibilities for a widespread religious demonstration 8uch a ceremony took place between the years 1869 and 1873 and affected the Mee'-wawk and Yokuts tribe from at least as far north as the Yoeemlte Valley region to as far south aa Poso Creek in Kero County This tremendous demonstration la known aa the Great Ghost Dsnce Of 1870 Tha movement waa started In Northeastern Fresno County by Indian missionaries from Mono and Inyo Counties east of the Sierra Nevada It spread throughout the foothill Yokuts tribes and extended to tbe floor of the San Joaquin Valley where much territory waa still held by the Yokuts The Ghost Dance was characterised by several remarkable features: In the first place it was carried on as a means of bringing back the departed The Yokuts who attended expected to see at least their Immediate ancestors who had died during their lifetime and whom they had known Second the dancea were held at centers where possibly aa many as 3000 or 4000 Indians congregated Purpose Of Dance Concealed Third the purpose of the dances was so jealously guarded from the neighboring white settlers that probably no pioneer aettler ever guessed the reason for them Fourth tbe settlers thought the Indiana were planning a general uprising for the purpose of waging warfare upon them This last was not surprising During' the early seventies tha Indians were etlll numerous and tha white settlers wera just becoming firmly established Those whites who had settled the Sierra foothills during the previous twenty years were still wary of widespread Indian activities It is to be remembered that the Tulare and Inyo County war of 1862 waa still fresh In their mind and that tha similar and final military activities of 1873 wera not far in tne future But warfare was farthest from the minds of the Yokuts Indians who attended the Ghost Dance of 1870 They were possessed of a fixed and fanatical determination to carry on the dance throughout the six days or until tha departed bed returned It is true they painted for the dance but It was not war paint They moved In a circle men women and children all joining Tle Attended Eshom Valley Ghost Dance of Dunlap who took part In the Great Ghost Dance of 1870
