Yesterday Mr.. Won Hagen showed US
the pipe that Old Chief Sleepy Eye used
to smoke and which, in conformity with
=, the Indian custom, was buried with him.
The pipe was found in his grave and
has been in the possession OF Red Eagle
since the grave was opened. The pipe
is of pipestone, is SIX and one half inch
es long, an inch and quarter in dame
ter and the bowl part is three inches
high and an inch in diameter. The hole
for the stem and for the tobacco is about
the same in size; the chief was evidently
shy of tobacco as none was found in any
of his pockets. The pipe is a smooth
piece of work and when it was shown to
Man With Flashes Of ight-Across- His
Face, who was Sleepy Eyes nurse for a
wear prior to his death, was Immediately
recognized by him. 1t Is said that these |
pipes which so closely resemble each
other thay look as much alike as two
peas, bear a secret mark that makes
their Identification absolutely certain.
The Indian agent at Sisseton writes Mr..
Won Hagen that the pipe sent is without
doubt the identical pipe found in the
grave of Sleepy Eye.
