The famous old pipe of peace of the Indian chief, Sitting Bull, has been presented to the South Dakota State Historical society by H. C. Pryor of the Aberdeen Normal school. < On the »tern of the relic, burned or inked into the wood, is the auto graph of the warrior. The bowl of the pipe is of pink sandstone from the quarries at Pipestone, Minn. The stem is about twenty inches long, and is of ash wood. The pipe, was traded to Mr. Pryor’s father, I. D. Pryor, now a resident of Los An geles, by Sitting Bull, at Camp Crook in 1887, for a blanket. The story goes that Sitting Bull had just been released from prison at Fort Handall, and was making his way northward to the reserva tion. Always ready to pick up a few dollars, he stopped off at Pierre. S. D., and started a flourishing business selling his autographed cards at $1 each. It seems that his name was about the only thing Sit ting Bull could write in English, and he was very proud of it. Some one induced him to step into the telegraph office there and write hia name on a number of harmless look ing message blanks. The Indian’a anger rose to white heat when he discovered that carbon had been in serted between several sheets under the one on which he wrote. Big Alligator Negro«* Prlaa. Two negroes were attacked by a huge alligator In West Caney swamps, near Orange, Texas. The big saurian, which measured ten feet, chased one of the negroes up a tree. The other negro in the meantime placed eight bullets in the center of its head. The negroes, who had encountered the alli gator while tishlng, returned to the spot where the battle occurred next morning, and found It dead. They towed It through the marshes to the northern limits of the city. New Management Best Meats at low prices. Sanitation, Q u a l i t y and S e r v i c e O u r Specialties, Artichokes. Motorcycles.
