The JURY DISAGREED
But the Prisoner Knew He Was
Guilty and So He Pleaded After
Jury Failed to Convict.

Darlington Independent: A scene
was enacted before Judge Coffey in
the Eddy county district court last
week that might prove of value to be
repeated here. A man was up on the
charge of gambling, or keeping a gam
bling room. He acknowledged that
the boys had been in the habit of COM
ing to his room to play the game, but
stated that he did not know he was
violating a law. The case went to
the jury. which wiseheimered several
hours before deciding to disagree.
The jury was called into the court
room and while seated in their box,
the court asked the defendant il he
cared to change his plea. The defend
ant answered Immediately that he did.
That he would plead guilty to the
charge.
Whereupon he was sentenced by the
court in full view of and to the utter
embarrassment of the jurymen who
had failed to find verdict Of guilty.
1t is reported that law violators in
Eddy county can be convicted in the
future, thanks to this strong object
lesson.

OLD FEuD FORGOTTEN.

Yankton, S. D., June 1.-THE
golden jubilee is closing here, and
among the last speakers were
Dean Sterling, state university;
Doane Robinson, secretary of the
State Historical society, Pierre;
President Warren, Yankton college,
and c. j. Holman Sergeant Bluffs,
the original cabin builder on the
townsite in 1853. In town are
great many Yankton Indians, and
among them Holman recognized
one Of the Indians who again and
again led charges against his cabin
and finally burned it to the ground,
destroyed his effects and drove
him across the Missouri to take
refuge in Nebraska. The meeting
with the Indian was friendly,
thanks to the golden jubilee. The
Indian admitted his identity with
a grim smile, and Holman shook
him by the hand, thankful he had
not been killed.
The Sioux have shown a sur
prising ability to grasp the BUSH
ness points of the jubilee. They
have fenced their village and are
holding up all visitors for is cents
a head. Nor is that all--the noble
red man is appearing in original
vaudeville that eclipses anything
ever seen here. They have en-
gagged the operahouse, and are
dancing the horrible sun dance,
tied by thongs in their breasts to
a center pole around which they
dance until exhausted. The scalp
war dance, green corn dance and
other customs are also shown at
so much per head to the paleface
to get in.
A roast OK barbecue will close
the final old settler parade and re-
view Friday night.
