SECURES BUST OF SHUTDOWN
Is Famos Nez Perez Indian Broncho
Buster-Made by Mr. A. P. Proctor

This article will no doubt cause much
interest with the Border Day fans of
this city. Jackson Shutdown did much
to make the first of our efforts at a
frontier show success and those who
saw his sensational ride on "Cyclone'
the noted outlaw that has the lives of
several broncho riders to his credit and
later when Shutdown rode the famous
Border Day bull after he had spilled
all of those performers who attempted
to master him and later when the NOV
ing pictures of the show were exhibited
throughout the U. S. the ride of the now
famous Indian never failed to bring
applause from the movie fans.
The following article published in
Sundays issue of the Portland Daily
Journal will be of interest to all ac-
quaintances of Jackson Shutdown, the
well-known Nez Perez Indian, bucking
horse champion, as well as to number
of Lewiston people who were in classes
on sculpture conducted by A. p. Proc
tor in Lewiston.
Just as the ancient Greeks put the
physical perfection of their athletes
into marble for all time, so A. Phimis-
ter Proctor, the noted American seulp-
tor, is to make immortal Jackson Sun
down, the Nez Perez Indian who won
the bucking contest in the Pendleton
Roundup.
"In bust and in action group the
features and form of this splendid
specimen of manhood are to be perpet-
uated.
Shutdown in bust, in plaster cast,
was shown to many of the sculptor g
friends during the past fortnight at the
residence of Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Proctor were house
guests.

the height of his glory--proud, noble

Wearing a war bonnet of eagle
feathers, his braids falling loosely over
his shoulders, a war shield hung with
trophies at his back, Shutdown is shown

"'There is nobility about him that
commands respect and arouses admir-
alton. His splendid muscular develop
ment is attested in his full throat and
in his shoulders. The lips are firm,
bold, courageous; the eye piercing, the
nose prominent, with the nostril defiant.
Mr.. Proctor has come to be recog-
nized as indeed historian, his sculp.

soon to be the past, and the future.

WHY FIRST ROUTE ABANDONED
Supervisor Ring Gives Information or
South Fork Road Projects.

The following communication has
been handed us by Supervisor Ring OF
the Nezperce Reserve in explanation
of the abandonment of the route form
erly selected for the South Fork road
and upon which sum in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 was expended.
"In the fall of 1913 an allotment was
made for starting the first section of
the proposed road extending from
Grangeville up the South Fork of the
Clearwater River to Elk City. At that
time the money for road construction
available to the Forest Service was very
small, being derived from the so-called
total of about $4,000 to 100000 for the
entire National Forest area of northern
Idaho. Also, the terms of the Act OF
Congress making the 10 per cent funds
available required that all such
moneys be expended within the bounda-
ries of the National forests. In view
of these conditions and because of the
fact that only a small amount of CO.
operative funds could be raised in Idaho
county, the first location was made
with view of building a road on very
low standards at the very least cost
possible. Also, in order that the
federal 10 per cent funds might be EN-
ployed on the work, the location was
placed as far as possible within the
boundaries of the Nezperce National
Forest. In this connection, the report
of the District Highway Engineer
dated January IL, 1914 states as fol
lows:
i" The investigation of the most
practicable route was restricted to that
country Immediately between the bridge
and Mt. Idaho. / think it quite posi-
bel that route leading directly from
Mt. Idaho, with constant minus grade
of less than A per cent could be con
structed at cost of not greatly ex
ceeding in average cost per mile the
one chosen, but this would be entirely
new construction and would involve
about IL of ID miles at about 100000
per mile, practically all outside the
forest. It is obvious that the financing
of such a proposition is at present i'm
possible.
Accordingly, therefore, since the
adoption of the most favorable route
was impracticable from financia
standpoint, the line as located was
adopted and construction was carried
on for several months in the spring at {

tepee near the Indian s home Although
30 years old, Shutdown is physically per-
feet, with the build and muscular
development of trained athlete His
prowess was shown at the roundup last
fall, and Mr.. Proctor has caught his
muscular grace in group, recently com
pleted, of an Indian, horseback, breech-
clout flying, running down a buffalo.
In the bust of Shutdown one is most
caught by the modelling of the fea-
lures, but Mr.. Proctor has done some
remarkable detail work in the many
feathers of the war bonnet, the braids
of hair and the war shield.
''This shield is hung with a strand
of horsehair, signifying a horse taken
from an enemy; several feathers and
human scalp. This scalp was one pre-
scented to Mr.. Proctor some time ago
by Old Irontail, head of the Sioux
nation. Old Irontail took it from the
head of a Crow Indian many years ago
and the gift of this trophy to Mr.. Proc
tor was one of the highest compliments
the old chief could show
'Sundown as lad saw part of the
Nez Perez war, in which Chief Joseph
led part of the Nez Perez tribe on the
Warpath, as many as four bullets graz
ing him on one occasion.
" Mr.. Proctor left for the east Thurs
day night, to be gone several months.
An exhibit of some of his works is to
be shown this month at the art museum
in Chicago. He will return to Port
land this summer to complete the statue
of The Pioneer, which is to be placed on
the campus of the University of Oregon

OMAHA BRAKEMAN LOSES
FEET BY FALL AT KASOTA

Arthur Slater, brakeman on the
Omaha railroad, suffered the loss of both
legs when he fell from special freight
train near the Kasota depot about 2
a. m. Thursday. There were no wit
snesses to the accident, but it is thought
that he slipped on the fast moving train
in the darkness, falling between two cars.
The night operator at the depot heard
his cries and rushed to his assistance.
He was taken to st. Joseph's hospital at
Mankato, where it was found that one
foot had been severed at the ankle, and
the other leg amputated below. the knee.
He was not missed from the train until
its arrival at Mankato. This is the
second serious accident at the Kasota
yards during the week the first being the
death of II. Teichrow, who was crushed
between freight cars.

Indications are that the M. & St. l..

is that the said right-of-waX. appears to

SLEEPYEYE MOURNS
RESPECTED RESIDENT,

Died at his home in Minneapolis,
Dec. 18th, August Glatigny, aged u
years, six months and five days.
It was our good fortune to have
known him long and well, and we OILY
knew him to esteem him more highly
as the years passed by. He was a de-
voted husband, to his friends the soul
of fellowship, and as man it is that
those who knew him best. most love to
contemplate him. ~
The remains were brought from
Minneapolis Monday and interment
was made in the Home Cemetery,
a large number of friends accompanying
the departed to his last resting place.
For many years the deceased was res
ident of Sleepy Eye, moving to
Minneapolis in August, 1916. About a
year ago his brother Andrew passed
away, since which time he has slowly
declined in health, his death resulting
from heart trouble. The comradeship
between the brothers was beautiful,
they being inseparable.
Our city and it's hospitable people
ever held warm corner in his heart.
1t was here the best days of his life
were spent and it was his desire that
our Silent City, surrounded by the
beauty, contentment and happiness Of
our people should be the eternal a.
hiding place of all that was mortal of him
The deceased leaves a wife who
will have the tender sympathy of hel
