NO-HEART, FRIEND OF
WHITE Man, GOES TO
Greet GREAT SPIRIT
His Many Services Rewarded
By Job AS Indian Judge
at 81 Per Month.

Forest City, S. D., Nov. 16.-With a
brass band at the head of the funeral
procession, followed by an Indian
policeman bearing a large American
flag, the remains of Judge Abraham
No-Heart, one of the most prominent
of the Sioux Indians living on the
were scorted to the grave in the
agency cemetery.
The dead warrior for some years had
been one of the judges of che Indian
court at the Cheyenne agency. The
position was surrounded mostly by
honor, as the salary paid is only 81 per
month. Notwithstanding the small
amount Of the salary, No-Heart per-
formed the duties of the position with
as much dignity and care as the judges
OF the United States supreme court,
and believed the duties were almost as
important as those of the judges of the
highest court in the land.
Judge No-Heart was 70 years of
age and since a young mar had taken
a prominent part in the affairs of his
tribe, having for years been a mar of
great influence lmone his brethren. In
his younger dayc, he was once made

him with their guns, but for some rea-
son, unknown to him, spared his life,
after taking his ponies and such other
property as they could carry away. He
fully expected to be killed by his cap
tors. Upon being released, he sum-
moned a number of his tribesmen and
they went in pursuit of the raiding
party, recapturing two of the ponies
which they had stolen from him.
He had a number of othar thrilling
adventures during the wild days on
the frontier, and on more than one
occasion proved himself a true friend
OF the whites. After order had been
brought about on the reservation, he
was conspicuous in enforcing the rules
and regulations and in making his peo-
pie obey them.
For his various services in behalf
OF the whites different officials prom
ised him he would receive a pecuniary
reward, but the only reward he ever
OBTAINED was his appointment as judge
or the dia court at the salary Of 81
per month.
