HosBuui ) ACIK.XCV , D. T. , August
13. The violent death of Spotted
Tnil , n noted warrior and Load chief
of nil the Sioux Indians , and the quiet
and orderly proceedings attending the
arrest of his murderers , awakens re
newed interest in regard to the efforts
of the government to elevate and
civilize this tribe , and revives mem
cries of the bloody wars in which ho
was engaged.
W'OTTr.l ) TAIL
Avns a son of Shooting Cut , who was
for several years chief of the Brtile
Sioux , and in his day a noted war
chief. Spotted Tail was born in this
spring of 1823 , near White river , not
far from the plnco of his death. Ho
early showed n warlike spirit , and at
the ago of eighteen killed his first
man in a battle with , the Pawnees. It
was a custom of the Sioux for a great
many years to nmko annual incursions
against the Pawnees , and Soottod
Tail was always at the front and in
the thickest of the fight , never
returning until 0110 or more Pawnees
were made to bite the dust by.liis
own hand ,
On ono occasion the Sioux wore
badly routed by the P.vvneos , when
Spotted Tail took it upon himself to
cover the retreat , aided only by two
or three friends. How well he did it
is attested by the fact that ho alone
killed six Pawnees without the loss of
a Sioux.
IXl'ITKDTO WAll.
In 185(5 ( Troublesome Bear , who
was at that time chief of the Sioux ,
killed a lame steer which had been
left on the prairie by emigrants , near
Fort Laramic. The commander at
Fort Laramie sent thirty soldiers to
the Sioux camp to arrest" the Indian.
The Indians desired ( o prevent his ar
rest and offered thirty-seven head of
cattle in payment for the one killed ,
but no compromise would bo listened
to and to prevent bloodshed the In
dians brought out their chief , Trou
blesome Bear , and delivered him to
the soldiers who immediately shot
him. Tliis so exasperated the In
dians that they massacred the entire
command and Hod north. The injus
tice of the murder of Troublesome
Hoar started Spotted Tail on the war
path against the whites. His first act
was to rob the stage at Ash Hollow ,
killing the three passengers and ob
taining about forty thousand dollars
in gold. Gen. Harney then inarched
upon Spotted Tail at the Sioux camp
and fought at
Mil HOLLOW ,
' ono -of the most dcaporato battles in
the history of Indian warfare , taking
about ono hundred prisoners , mostly
women and children. Ho then sent
a tnes3ont'or to the Sioux camp , stat
ing ho would shoot every prisoner ho
hold unless Spotted Tail and his com
panions who robbed the stage were
delivered to him within ono week.
Nearly all had relatives among the
prisoners , some wives and children ,
others mothers , brothers and sisters ,
whoso lives wore dear to them , yet
none dared to attempt to arrcsk the
culprits. The sad fate impending
over the prisoners caused sucli weep
ing and wailinit us would bo natural
under the circumstances. Before the
week had passed , Spotted Tail called
Ins companions in the robbery to him
and said , "I am going to the fort to
die ; it is better for us to die than
that those innocent women and chil
dren should bo killed. Who will go
with mo ? " They all wont. Spotted
Tail stopped at the door of the com
manding ofliccr and said , "Take my
gun , knife bow and arrows ,
I AM HEADY TO DIE ,
but lot those women and chil
dren return to their homes. "
Spotted Tail was taken to
Fort Leavonworth , where ho was kept
for a year and then released through
the exertions of General Harnoy , who
was so surprised at the noble traits
of character exhibited by Spotted
Tail that ho was over after his
staunchest friend. Spotted Tail then
went to the Choyonnes and assisted
them in two battles against the Uni
ted States troops. In 1804 ho re
turned and endeavored unsuccessfully
to stop the depredations being com
mitted by the Cut-off Sioux along the
Platte river. Ho told thorn that they
had no just cause for the horrible
butcheries they were committing , and
if they did not desist ho would assist
the white men in overpowering them.
When ho learned they had captured a
white family and tortured the man
and children to death , and hold the
wife and mother captive , ho took a
party of braves , rescued the woman
after a hard fought battle , and deliv
ered her to thn commander at Fort
Laramie. In 1808 ho made
A FOIIMAL THBATV
of peace with the government , and
has since resided upon n reservation.
In 1870 , after the government
had spent an enormous
amount of money to bring
Crazy Horao to terms , they called
upon Spotted Tail , who brought him
in and delivered him to the military
authorities. Spotted Tail once said
to the writer : "I never fought the
whites except to secure justice to my
people. I never killed a white womtin
or child , nor allowed it to bo done by
another when in my newer to prevent
it. " From information received from
his lifelong companions still living
hero I believe he told the truth.
HIS I > OMK TK' 11ELATION.S
were according to the customs of his
people. He has had six wives , four
of whom survive him. Thirty-sir
children have bean horn to him ,
twenty-eight of whom are still alive ,
lid possessed rooiarkablo intellectua
powers , and would have attained
eminence in nny community. His
powers of oratory seldom failed to
convince his people of the soundness
of his judgment. His efforts for the
welfare ol his fellow Indians were un
ceasing , and his influence for the ok <
vation of his race extended to all the
Sioux agencies. He was honest ,
noble , kind and brave. Peace to hit
ashes.
TUB 1TNKU.U.
His 'body was placed in a rough
wooden box , the best that
could bo obtained at the agency ,
taken to the church in a lumber wag
on , ono of his wives sitting on I ho
coIlin , holding ono line , while another
wife walked beside the wagon , holil
ing the other line The mourners ,
some twelve or fifteen in number , all
naked but unarmed , followed the wag
on. On arriving at the church ( lie
mouiners took the front seats and lis
tened to the Episcopal burial service
in their own language. Ho was Im
tied on the top of a hill , overlooking
the agency. Already over one him
dred dollars has been raised from half
breeds and white men towards pro
curing a suitable monument to mark
his last resting place. It is pro
posed to make the amount $250.
TlIK CAX7SIJ OK HIS DKATII.
Knvy , factions , cliques find rings
exist among all tribes of Indians to
fully M great an extent as among
white communities , and Spotted Tail's
dpiith is the direct result , of this en
vious factional strife. Black Grow , an
egotistical Indian of limited mental
capacity , and a deadly enemy of the
white men , has long aspired to
Spotted Tail's place. For years he ,
with u few followers , has held couli-
cil after council to devise a way to ac
complish his purpose , but lacking the
courage to himself put his murderous
designs into execution ho has repeat
edly requested others to murder
Spotted Tail for him. Recently
Crow Dog was _ dismissed from the
captaincy of Indian police for insub
ordination and on account of his dis
position to seek n tpJarrol with , and
for threatening Spotted Tail's life.
This angered him to such a degree
that at a council of the Black Crow
faction ho agreed to commit the mur
der. A short time ago the secretary
of the interior invited Spotted Tail to
visit Washington for the purpose of
holding a conference , with other In
dians , in regard to matters affecting
the interests of the northern tribes.
A COWA111ILY MU1UIKU.
On the day he was killed he hold a
council of the sub-chiefs and head men
to confnr with them in regard to the
action he should propose at the com
ing conference. Crow Dog visited the
place of council , remaining outside
until Spotted Tail mounted his horse
and started for home , when ho sprang
from behind a wagon , with cocked
gun , and when within ten feet of his
victim and at the instant Spotted Tail
saw him , took quiet but deadly aim
and fired. The ball entered near the
lieart , passed entirely through ihc
body , killing him instantly. No words
were spoken by either , but Spotted
Tail said as he fell from his horse ,
"ditch him. " These were the last
words spoken by the great chicftian.
The Indians present were so amazed
at the boldness of the act that before
they commenced shooting at Crow
Dog ho was beyond the reach of their
bullets.
A ClllTIOAL MOMENT.
The news of the murder.spread rap
idly and thocxcitcmcnt caiiio ton fever
lieat. Gen. Cook , the agent , who on
previous occasions has shown himself
, o bo a very cool and determined
iian { was away. The white poole -
) lo ran to the agency oftico to
consult in regard to vliat should bo
done , as the half-breeds and squaw
nen were as badly excited as the In
dians , and piedicted a general fight
among the different factions of Indi
ans , with a probability of a general
maBsacrc of the whites before it was
oer. . However , Henry Lelur , iictin"
agent , was as cool and self-possessed
as though nothing unusual had oc
curred. Ho immediately sent for
lo Hawk , captain of the Indian
police , and gave him peremptory
orders to make a detail of his most
trusted police and such other Indians
as ho considered necessary , and arrest
Crow Dog together with Black Crow-
as an accomplice. Eagle Hawk found
Crow Dog and Black Crow on the
White river , overcame their resistance
liy superior physical force and re
ported early the next morning with
the prisoners. They were not allowed
lo oven stop at the agency , but were
iiurried along to Fort Niobrara under
i stronir escort , where they are now
in irons.
A I'llAlSKWOUTHY AdE.VT.
Too much praise cannot bo accorded
Mr. Lolur for the admirable tact and
; oed judgment displayed in hand
ling these Indians at this , probably
the most critical time since they have
L > eon under treaty stipulation with
the government. Two years ago the
predictions of the half-breeds and
srjuaw-mcn would undoubtedly have
been realized. That they now submit to
the strong and determined willof acting
agent Lelur is undoubtedly duo to the
firm yet kind treatment inaugurated
by Gen. Cook when ho came hero
eighteen months ago , which has been
successfully continued to the present
time. They were then impudent ,
they demanded of the agent what
they wanted all were painted. Only
ono Indian wore citizens' clothes ,
the others all wore blankets , britch
clouts and leggins. All lived in
tepccH , made night hideous with feast
ing and dancing , naked inourneis
armed with loaded guns , ready to
shoot the first white man who chanced
to como in their \\ny , roamed about
the agency unmolested ,
AT THE niWT ( OUNCU ,
hold by Con. Cook with the Indiana ,
when he explained in as kind a man
ner as possible the necessity for
the new order of things ho
proposed to establish. Standing Elk ,
an Indian of considerable influence
delivered a violent speech in which ho
urged those present to immediately
kill the agent. Other tactics which
had been successfully employed
in forcing previous agents to
submit to their will were tried in
Vain. General Cook remained firm ,
giving them at all times to under
stand that lie desired to promote their
welfare , but could not be scared into
swerving u hair's breadth from what
ho .considered his duty. Ho arrested
a nuked Indian mourner , who was OIK-
of the most desperate follows on tliu
reservation , disunited him , -took the
sticks from the places where they had
been run through liii flesh , com polled
him to wash and dress himself , and
extorted a promise from him tobohavo
himself in the future , which promise
ho 1ms faithfully kept up lo the prcs
out time. He arrested the noted
desperado , Turning Bear , with live
companions and turned them over id
the Nebraska authorities for punish'
mont. Ho arrested the murderer of
Atkinson and delivered him to the
civil authorities for trial. Ho gave
all to understand order must pro
rail and crime would surely be
punished. Ho assisted such
as showed a disposition to help themselves
solves , turned a deaf ear to profession
nl beggars mid grumblers , ordered
feasting and dancing about the agency
stopped , and took euro to see the order
was obeyed. He encouraged thorn
to wear citizens clothes , to build
houses , to perform such manual labor
as could be made productive in these
sand hills , and particularly toab.uulon
their old superstitions and barbarous
customs , even going so far as to stop
the issue of rations to such as killed
ponies mid destroyed other property
at the burial of the dead. All this
has been accomplished and without
ostentation.
TiiiiiKsnT :
is that alnrgo number nowappoar in full
citizen's dress. Theio is not freight
enough to bo hauled to supply the
demand of those who are willing to
work as teamsters , nor can the agent
find employment for all the others
who apply to him for situations as
laborers. iMonrncrs do not now
roam about the agency with loaded
H\ina. \ Nearly three hundred families
live in houses constructed by them
selves. Very few paint their faces ,
and everything is as quiet and order
ly as iu any white settlement. Crime
will of course show itself , but where
in the states among a community
of eight thousand people is there less
crilne , or the co-operation of the people
ple for its punishment more- hearty
than recent occurrences show it to
bo hero ?
TIM : INDIAN QUESTION.
Our eastern friends believe the In
dian question to be a very compli
cated one , but in the opinion of the
writer , after a residence of twenty
years on the frontier , three years of
which have been spent at the agency ,
the question will bo easily andquirkly
solved whenever the government will
pay to its Indian agents salaries
largo enough to secure tlio services of
lirat-cluss business men , and decides
to give them largo discretionary pow
ers , untramelled by the theories > [
people who live thousands of miles
iwny , whoso opinions have been ob
tained from works of fiction , and
from theharanguesof cracked-brained
fanatics who know as little of the sub
ject as their hearers. The pro
gress these Indians have
made under the present agency
administration shows conclusively
what can be done under n capable
man , but the duties of an Indian arc
of such an arduous and perplexing
nature , the responsibilities are so
jrcat , the discretionary powers al
lowed by the government so limited
and the salary so small , that the pres
ent agent will not remain very long ,
and the next agent will probably bo
some theorist who will undo all that
lias been accomplished.

BLUE SPRINGS.
The Dirty Scheme of a Rail
road Corporation to Kill the
Original Town of That
Name.
Ono of the Mauy Snob Schemes
Shown C\ ) .
Coinnmnlcitcil.
Bi.ri ; RWUMJS , Aug. 19. Your cor-
lespondcnt "Rungei" has given a very
fair sketch of Blue Springs and her
business men. There are , however ,
filings in the history of this pbco
especially its treatment by certain
railway officials that should not re
main unpublished. In justice to the
B. & M. 11. 11. it should bo said that
as a corporation they have been more
liberal than any other railway in the
State of Nebraska , and that the vast
number of potty rings formed of subor
dinate otlicors and employes for fleec
ing the people by unjust diBcrimations
have been winked at or boldly en
dorsed and encouraged by many other
monopolies , bu , the B , it M , has as a
rule discouraged all of this petty
stealing.
I deem it my duty however , to ex
pose a picco of high handed injustice ,
a gross and wholly inexcusable wrong
that is aimed to destroy a Nebraska
town of no little impoitanco.
The town of Blue Springs , Nebras
ka had , according to the U , S. census
taken May , 1880 , 072 inhabitants and
it is ulaimed that hinco that time the
population has doubled in number.
At the present time there is not an
empty house in the town.
Now the B. & M. 11. R. officials
have a survey made for a railway line
through this city , look possession of
the peoples lots and built that line ,
but failed to provide a depot. The
people , however , had proffered lands
free , and proposed to pay the expense
of erecting n depot , but they were
flatly refused , and the Lincoln land
company , composed of officers and at
torneys of the B. & M. , purchased
several hundred acres south of the
town and located a village and erected
a depot one inilo and a quarter from
the corporation limit of Blue Springs.
Now , the citi/ens of Blue Springs
find no fault with any company start
ing towns , but by what right can they
run a railroad through an incorporated
city and refuse lo furnish that city
with facilities for transacting business
with that railroad.
Blue Springs has begged for justice
from these autocrats , but has only mot
with repeated insults , until it has de
termined to take the aggressive and
comb.it this cruel wrong \o the bitter
end , Discrimination by common ear
ners when applied to freights , parson-
gers or express matter is wrong and
the courts have BO decided , but scon
they will have ( o pass upon this , the
moot flagrant outrage Jhut I have oyer
heard of being perpetrated liy a rail
road.
road.Had the road built thoirlineiu.nnid
tlio town they might have Wen loyal
ly though not morally excused fj th0
\\runir ilono , but to run traim at full
speed thiough ft thriving cil\ without
stoppngo , leaving mail 01 liaun/
depot is something refreshingly now.
For over three months tins state yf
nllairs has existed and nil intir < Mts of
the railroad company have been sac
rificed to the Lincoln Land r mimiiy.
Not nioro than one-eighth of the
freight for Blue Springs is earned by
the 11. , t M. , nlthongh that is their
nnttinil outlet , and Omaha tlu-ir nat
ural trading point. For proof of this
every pound of freight for \Vymnel ,
the now town , comes over ( he U. & M.
St. .Joe nets tlio trade of llluo
Spring and the SI. lee i \\ostetu
gets tlio freighting simply because the
pcoplo hew will nol pay ( dollar they
can avoid to a corporation Hint has
treated them so unjustly.
Jn tins letter 1 may have im\ed up
somewhat the two companies , the It.
& M. and the Lincoln Lund company ,
liut while the former mny nma \ Bil
ling to be victimized by the latter ,
and may never hftvo' consented to
thijso outrages , still many ofitspnmi-
inent olliccrs are stockholder in the
latter company , notably Messrs. Tou-
zalln , Phillips , Castor , Perkins and
Phillippi. Hence tins people Mill
hold the 1) . & M. railroad responsible
for this outrage.
The people of this city Mill test
their rights and will not stop short of
tlio court of last resort. Then if de
feated , if there is no law to protect
the citizens from such villainy , the
legislation will bu appealed to , and
the law will bo made so.that it will so-
euro equal justice.
But the laws now in force me , it is
believed by those component to judge ,
fully equal to the occasion , and justice -
tico , though it may bo ardy. will fi
nally overtake these men who have
sought to ruin a town that they might
enrich themselves.
Blue Spriims is not dying yet and
Is not even choked in her rapid
jrowth. Brick , stone ami frame
structures are in process of election ,
and yet if the people had
not full confideiico in ulti
mately gaining the supremacy.
THE BKI : is the champion of the
people , ever ready to do battle for
their rights and the pcoplo of Blue
Springs look to it for aid in their com
ing struggle with n giant corporation.
Tlio pcoplo stand by Tin : Bin : and the
people are stroni'or than all the cor
porations combined. J. 0. B.
