FAMOUS OLD PEACE PIPE

Aberdeen, S. D.. May 18-The fam
GUS old pipe of peace of the Indian
chief, Sitting Bull, has lately been
presented to the state historical So
ciety by H. c. Pryor OF the Aberdeen
normal school. .....- -
Or the stem of the relic, burned or
linked into the wood is the autograph
of the warrior The bowl of the pipe
is of pink sandstone from the quarries
at PipestoLe, MINI. The stem Is
about twenty inches and is OF ash
wood. The pipe was traded to Mr..
Pryor's father l. D. Pryor, now res
ident of Los Angeles, by Sitting Bull
at Camp Crook in 1887 for blanket.
There was some argument, l be-
lieve about the autograph" explained
Mr.. Pryor "The old chief thought he
should have blanket for it. 1t seems
that his name was about the only thing
Sitting Bull could write in English
and he was very proud of it.
Sitting Bull Stopped at Pierre
THE story goes that Sitting Bull
had just been released from prison at
Fl. Randall aid was making his way
northward to the reservation. Always
ready to pick up few dollars, he
stopped off at Pierre, S. d. and start
err a flourishing business selling his
autographed cards at 81 each. Some
one induced him to step into the tel
egraph office there and write his name
on a number of harmless looking
message blanks. The Indians anger
rose to white heat when he discover
ed that carbon had been inserted be-
tween several sheets under the one
on which he wrote"
Doane Robinson. South Dakota state
historian, says numerous pipes reput-
ed to have been the pipe of peace of
Sitting Bull have been offered for
sale, but he is obliged to believe that
the one which Mr.. Pryor has just
represented to the state is the gen.
