A DAKOTA
Pioneer Joseph Cook to BE Buried
at Yankton AGENCY.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. 27.-Informa-
ton has reached here of the death at
St. Louis of Rev. Joseph Cook, one OF
the pioneer missionaries Of Dakota.
The body will be returned to South Da-
kota for burial. Death resulted from
q surgical operation which became nee
esSary as q last resort.
The dead man was one Of the pioneer
missionaries of the Episcopal church
among the Indians Of Dakota. For
thirty years or more he was located at
Yankton agency, where he devoted his
life to the salvation of the Yankton
Sioux Indians. The dead missionary
shared with missionary brethren, such
as Bishop Hare, the not inviting field
Of early Dakota, and experienced all
the hardship Of pioneer life.
The funeral will take place at Yank-
ton agency on Thursday Of this week,
and there is little doubt that practi-
cally every Indian belonging at the
agency will be present to pay a last
tribute to the man who devoted his life
to their betterment and uplifting.

WHY IT vAMOOsED.

A petrifd sea serpent has been
found in the cement mines nine miles
north east of this city. Can it be
possible that the Devils Lake monster
has become SO thoroughly frightened
at the recent pig slaughtering episode
that he sought refuge in the bowels of
the earth and turned to stone Mil
ton Globe.
No doubt it was emorse and shame
on account of the fragrant theft of the
state league penant by the Devils Lake
club last season that caused the 3. s. s.
to wander far from its accustomed
habit and give up its ghost in a
strange land near the abiding place of
the club which had been so wantonly
despoiled by its Satanic colleague
Neche Chronotype.

AN ANEcDoTE OF JUD LAMoURE

Doane Robinson's "Dakotan," a
magazine of Dakota history, has the
following:
The following story of the youthful
days of the Pembina statesman is true
for he told it to me himself. When
the Indian scare of 1852 was terrifying
the settlers and driving them focking
from the territory, Mr.. LaMoure,
then residing at Elk Point, bethought
him of a pretty, brown-eyed maiden,
who had charmed him with the
witchery of her smile, and was resid-
ing at Yankton, presumably in dire
peril. Therefore while the white set
tiers were fleeing downward for safety,
the love-lorn youth saddled a cayuse
and started up the river. Every mile
he met stern-faced men and weeping
WOMEN who warned him to turn back,
assuring him that the ayage red
handed and relentless, were hotfoot-
ing down the trail and that he was
tempting fate to go a foot farther.
But Jud thought of his unprotected
sweetheart and pressed on, and to his
establishment reached Yankton at sun
set with his scalp intact. The settlers
were feverishly busy, building the
stockade, and thither he went to win
the reward of his heroic action, only
to find the "joy of his heart cling
ing to the arms of her husband of a
week.
