LIKED THE FRYING PANS.
Indians Found at Exciting Use For the
COOKING Utensils.

Indians Found an Exciting Uso For tho
Cooking Utensils.
The Indian, however inverse he may
be to any kind of useful labor, is not
slow to avail himself of q new source
Of amusement. This was shown some
years ago when among the supplies
sent by the government to a certain
agency in the west were several hum
dred large frying pans with long han
dies.
These the Indian agent found in
stock when he took possession, and at
the end Of the year the number had
not been diminished. Thinking that
perhaps he had not discharged his
whole duty in the matter Of supplying
Uncle Sans wards with these culinary
utensils, the agent began making spe-
cial efforts to induce the red men to
IS them.
At first it was hard work, but by the
time he had given out about two dozeli
there came a sudden change. Not n
day passed in which the agent did not
have applications for at least a dozen,
and some days he disposed Of twice
that number.
When the supply was nearly ex-
hausted he noticed among the appli-
cants some to whom he had previous
~ given pans. and naturally enough he
became a trifie curious to know what
use they wer making Of them. He
questioned several Of the men to no
purpose, but at length a young buck
more communicative than the rest gave
him to understand that If he would
visit a certain part of. the reservation
not far away he would find his in
quiry answered.
The next day, therefore, the agent
rode out in the direction indicated.
About two miles from the agency he
noticed OH the crest of q narrow spur
Of the mountain three or four Indians
who suddenly disappeared OH the op-
posite side Of the ridge. At the same
time he heard family the cry of many
voices.
On turning the point Of the ridge he
saw a crowd of several hundred In
dams who were shouting as Il greatly
excited. He noticed also several OBJ
jects, which he at first supposed to be
powders, descending the side Of the
mountain toward them with tremen-
dous rapidity.
Instead of fleeing from these moving
objects the Indians simply applauded
and shouted. Soon he saw other OBJ
jects like the first descending, and in a
short time the whole situation was
plain to him.
Having selected q long, smooth slope
of the mountain where there were no
stones, the Indians had converted it
into a sort Of earthen toboggan slide
and were utilizing the frying pans as
toboggans. Seating themselves in the
pans, they grasped the handles with
both hands; then, crossing their legs
over their arms, they went spinning
down the slide with great .rapidity.
The agent let them have the few pans
that remained in the storehouse, but
did not order a new supply.-Harper's
Weekly.

NELSON GETS TEN YEARS
FOR MANSLAUGHTER
DOUBT AS To SANITY OF DEFEN-
DANT Is REASON FOR ACCEPT
ING PLEA OF GUILT IN MINOR
DEGREE.

The case of o. b. Nelson for the
killing of B. II. Klink in a Star
Pointer saloon last September came
to a sudden termination in the dis
trict court Wednesday when the
prisoner vas granted permission by
Judge Mitchell to withdraw his plea
of not guilty to the charge of murder
and plead guilty to the charge of
manslaughter. owing to the fact that
there is some question as to the SAN
ity of the defendant. The change to
a plea of guilt in a lesser degree was
agreed to by District Attorney Reeves
on the grounds above stated and fur
Their that there is but one eye witness
to the murder which would not assure
a conviction in the first degree. The
prisoner was then sentenced to a term
of ten years in the state p%enitentiary.
In pronouncing. sentence Judge
Mitchell entered into the case at some
length stating that his approval 10
the proceedings permitting the de-
PENDANT to admit guilt to a minor Of
Tense were of a practical rather than
technical nature, and among other
things said:
Application was made in open
court yesterday Withdrawing a plea
of not guilty in this case, and asking
for permission to enter a plea of
guilty to the charge OF manslaughter.

made in good faith by both the at
torney for the state and the attorney
for the defendant. and / have dwelt
upon the reasons given by both coun-

consideration 10 the matter.
"Since hen / have gone into the
matter by examining the dispositions
of witnesses on behalf of the state
and availed myself of the opportunity
to discuss the matter with n of the
physicians who had Investigated and
considered the question of the ire
sponsibility of the defendant. | am
of the opinion that the showing is
sufficient for the granting of defend
ants request and ii is so ordered.
AS l said here yesterday | was of
the impression and am not far from
IL now that you are guilty of murder
in the first degree or nothing" said
the court, as he turned toward Nelson

consent to the entering of this plea
are on practical rather than technical
grounds. From all circumstances II
