MAGIC AMONG THE INDIANS
JuHui Meytr Telli How the Keel Men HtJ
Mnoh Fun with Hermann.
THEY GIVE HIM A RUN FOR HIS MONEY
By l.cKcrdciiiiiln tin- Mimlc'lnn Tnkra
H Roll of Cash (lut of l'lulitliitf
I lor .,(' Hut iiml tho Iiiilliiu in.
slxts the Money U 111. J
Of all tho slorles told by Julius Mere
relntlvo to his long experience with the In
dians nwny back In tho early history of Ne
braska, nono nro moro interesting than his
recital of n lour ho onco mndo with Her
mann, tho eelebrnted magician.
"Hermann visited Omaha In 1S70," said Mr.
Meyer, "and expressed a dcslro to seo thn
Iiullnns In their natural state. Ho wanted
to so nmong the wlgwnms nnd tho tepees lu
short, lit) wanted n taste of real Indian life.
I told him I would bo delighted to hnvo him
accompany me on such a tour. Ilo ngrcotl
nnd wo set forth for the country occupied by
tlio Sioux tribes. He was nnxlous to mys
tify tho Indians with his tricks, nnd coon
after our arrival ho wns given nn oppor
tunity. I cnuscd a number of tho red men to
agseiublo and then I Introduced Hermann.
"Tho innglclan performed several clover
tricks, which greatly pleased and astonished
tho Indians. They hardly know what to
think of such n spirit, but tho fact that Her
mann was with mo gnvn them nssuranca
that no ovll would befall them, for they
know mo as one of their white friends. At
Inst Hermann asked to borrow a tint. An In
dian 11 ananl Fighting Horso was 'tho first to
respond. Ho toraed up his slouch hat,
seemingly believing it to bo nn honor for a
wizard llko Hermann to handle it. Holding
tho hat In his hand, Hermann made a llttln
speech, tho substnnco of which wns that
while ho usually received pay for his enter
tainments, ho was not on 'that occasion
asking anything. Then ho scanned tho hat
closely for a moment nnd ndded that ho
hnd found enough money In It to compen
sate him most liberally for his work.
FlKlitinic Horse Has Ills Sny.
"Running his hand about on tho Insldo of
tho hat, Ilermnnu drew out a roll ot bills
aggregating $600.
" 'Look here,' ho exclaimed as ho held tho
money up to view.
" 'That's my money; It was found In my
hat,' roared Fighting Horse.
"For onco the man whoBe buslnc3 It wns
to puzzle- other pcoplo was himself puzzled.
He couldn't nlTord to glvo thnt Indian so
much money, yet ho doubted Ills ability ti
ovndo tho Issue. Throughout tho cnttro per
formance I acted as Interpreter, for tho
Indians could not understand English much
better than they could epenk It, nnd they
were not experts nt either. A lengthy con
versation followed tho money Incident.
"Hermann had me tell Fighting Horse that
money nlwnys belongs to tho finder nnd thnt
as ho had found it it must bo his. Fight
ing Horso wns called upon to ncknowledgs
the fact that thero was no money In his hat
when ho passed It over to Hermann. Ilo
replied that ho did not know; tho money
wns taken out of his hat and that settled It.
Whatovcr his hat yielded ho looked upon as
belonging to him. Appeal was taken to
other Indians and they agreed with Fighting
Horse. It was nil tho money Hermann had
and ho was becoming desperate. I had In
fluence with the Indians, liut not In a case
llko this.
"At last It was decided that Spotted Tall,
tho celebrated chief, should bo called In as
referee. Ho took up tho question In a
dignified manner and mado a speech, In
which ho oald that tho whites Tiad robbed
tho Indians of their lnnds and, not satisfied
with thnt, they had lnvndcd tho red man's
bailiwick to tako his money. Tho old chief
talked nt grcnt length along this line nnd nt
tho cloao of his speech tho Indians woro a
unit In bellovlng thnt Fighting Horso was
being Imposed upon. Hcrmnun consulted mo
briefly nnd nsked mo to explain to Spotted
Tnll that tho finding of tho money was only
a trick nnd that It was porformod simply
for entertainment nnd mystification.
Spotted 'J'n 11 Score 11 Point,
"In answer to my explanation that It was
ono ot Hermann's tricks Spotted Tnll ro
pllcd: " 'A mnn who can perform a trick onca
enn do tho samo trick again. Let him glvo
Fighting Horso that money and then reach
In tho hat again nnd got moro for hlmsolf.
Then they will both havo money. That's
fair.'
"I was sorely perplexed as to this" argu
ment. It was Just llko Spotted Tall to say
such a thing, nnd I found It hard to niaka
11 satisfactory answer. I told him that
Hermann was not prepared to repeat tho
trick Just thcu, but that ho might do so it
given a llttlo while lu which to rest. This
wns to glvu Hermann an opportunity to got
nwny. But tho Indians wuuld not accept
such a proposition. They wanted Uormantt
to remain In sight. Ho utood upon nn Im
provised platform and there they wanted,
him to remain until tho qucutlon was not
lied. "I finally suggested that tho only wajs
Hermann could perform' tho trick over again
would bo to havo another hnt Just llko that)
ot Fighting Horso, nud that tho samo had
could not bo used twice, I knew thoro was
no such hnt In tho crowd. But not to bo
outdone, tho Indians nald they know a 111 nn
a few miles awoy who had a hat like, tho
ono Honnnnn had iwed nnd that they would
send for It, Tho hnt belonged to Man-Who-Left-tho-Eiinmy-Under-tho-Water,
and h
wns not there. A messenger wob dispatched
for tho hnt. Whllo ho was gono Hermann
was glveii tlmo to arrango for a repetition
of tho trick. When tho hat wns produced
the Indians examined It to see that It had
no money In it. It wan then passed ovor
to Hermann and ho drew from It tho sama
roll ot bllln that ho had apparently found
In Klghtlng Horse's hat. Then thoy bo
llcvcd It was really a trick, and Hermann
wub allowed to keep tho money."
