About the same tlino and In the same region of iountry another tragic occurrence took i lace. Au Indlanclilef mimed Two Tails and hlawlfu were met by a pirly uf while men.

While this view, In which we most slnimlyjoln, Is taken riKardlugtho assasslnatlori of tho bravo young soldier, It la a sad reflection upon our civilization lint the murder of Two Tails an 1 tho attempted a-sa-slni-Uou of bis wife havo not met with tho aamo unqualified detiuuclatlou.
