tant business that was transacted in the
district court at this mornings session
was the. sentencing Of Lolo, the Indian
who confessed the murder of young
Ambrose, which occurred at the Chi
nese gardens a few weeks ago, just
west of the city. Lolo was brought be-
fore the court and pleaded guilty. to
the charge of voluntary manslaughter
and the court sentenced him to the
state prison for the term of one year
and six months. Under the circum-
stances surrounding the case it is
thought that the sentence was n lust
one. 1t has been learned that The de
tails of the crime are about as follows:

night. and Ambrose. being in a very
intoxicated condition. vis1HHd the ,te,nee
OF Lolo, and a general fight took PLACE
During the fight Lolo, took heavy
club and struck Ambrose over the
head, telling him to the ground. Am
brose never was conscious after the
blow and died in very short time.
His remains were then taken outside
and left there until morning, when
some of the Indians took the remains
to the reservation, and Agent Smead
was notified Of the affair. Several OF
the Indians were arrested, but none Of
them would tell the tale. Lolo was
told of the confession Of Little Mary,
and he then said he was the guilty par
