Dead Soldiers Hand.
Washington Spe. New York Times:
Indian Agent Logan, OF Browning,
Mont, told a night or two ago Of an
interesting experience he had while
out IN the far northwest. His father,
Captain William Logan, was killed in
fight with the Nez Perces at Big
Hole % years ago. When his body
was discovered the little finger on the
left hand had been cut on at the sec
ond Joint, and two rings worn on that
finger had been removed. Two years
afterward his son, now the Indian
agent, came across a Blackfoot Indian
who wore seal ring Upon examina-
tion II was found to be one OF the
riggs worn by Captain Logan. Th1
Blackfoot who had 1t had obtained IL
from another Indian, Who in a light,
had killed the Nez Perce who wore 1t,
and had removed it by chopping of his
victims finger, just as Captain Logans
finger had been amputated Twenty
two years after the battle in which
these rings were captured a squaw az
the Browning agency attracted the at
tention of Agent Logan by a ring worn
on her finger. II was plain gold
band, on one side OF which was Nal
tese cross in red enamel, and on the
ether. side the square and compass en-
grayed. 1t was his fathers second
ring. The squaw who wore 1t had
traded some pelts for it and knew
nothing Of its history, Agent Logan
wears the seal ring on his third finger
and the Masonic ring on his watch
chain He will not venture to try
either ring on the little finger. Re
calling the rude method adopted to
get them off of two fingers, he prefers
to try one on another finger, Just to
change the program In case an envious
person desires to obtain it without his
consent.

asked that an order Of dismissal be
entered. Counsel said Benhro0k filed

but an affirmative defense.
