Show Indians Hillloe Each Other ' i Ljncliine. j Yankton, Dakota, 21. An arrival I Irom Spotted Tail agency yesterday, morning says that juBt previous to hiaj departure ft half breed came in from : the moving Indians, who were theni 125 miles out, reporting that serious I i trouble had broken out among them j ' and they bad commenced exchanging I Inhota. Two Indians had been killed ' when the runner left. He also reported re-ported that about 800 young IodianB had left the main body and were I traveling north. Major Pollock, hurried hur-ried to the scene of the trouble, but ' the Indians indignantly declined to receive any counsel from him and ! nlainlv tnld him to let them aloue. The cause of the trouble is not given, but may have grown out of a difference of opinion existing ex-isting among the Indians in regard to the move. A large number were in favor of remaining on the river, but tnreugh the efforts of the leading chiefs were compelled to submit to the decision of the minority. This, together with the trouble about rations, ra-tions, is supposed to have been the cause of the outbreak. MoseB McGurk, confined in the United States jail of this city on a charge of having been unlawfully in the Indian country and who escaped from that bastile, was detected in a horsestealing ecrape in Boniiomme county and captured by Sheriff Bene dict last nignt. A. squan oi inuig- . naot citizens took him away from that officer and hung him lo Match creek bridge. Before life became ex- ' tinct he confessed and was letdown and will recover. |
