BURIED WITHOUT SHROUD
Anadarka, Okla., Jan. 16 (AP)--Big Bull is dead and buried, but not in his buckskin shroud. Death came to the 72-year-old Kiowa this week before he could finish the garment he was making to wear to the happy hunting grounds, and his friends laid him to rest in other Indian regalia. Big Bull could speak only the native Kiowa tongue but he urged missionaries to come to this country and, when they arrived, gave the site for a church and cemetery on his allotment. The Cedar Creek Methodist church thus stands as a monument to Big Bull and he was buried in the churchyard. His father, also Big Bull, was a tribal chief.
