THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
Indian Legend;
(Continued from Page 1.)
So they showed him how and he did
throw them; they went a little too high
and caught on a tree limb, so that left
him eyeless. He became lost and
wandered about, not knowing where he
was going. One day the great spirit of
ghosts spoke to the blind man and told
him that he would make . a circle, and
that he would stay in the circle and run
around and if the blind man touched
him he would see again. The blind man
tried three days and at last did touch
the spirit and his sight was restored at
once. Then the spirit, told him to go
and learn all of the Indians that game,
and that is the way the blindfold; hand
kerchief game began. Ben Stagner in
