The United States Court for this Dis
trict adjourned on Saturday afternoon
last. On Friday morning commenced
the trial of the United States Us. Che
wa-cha -rah and Who-rah- jin-kah, two
Indians of the Winebago tribe, on an in
dictment for the murder of John Blot
tenburgh and Clement Attley Riggs, two
soldiers of the United States, stationed
at Fort Armstrong ON Rock Island in the
Mississippi
The first witness introduced on the
part of the government, was a soldier by
the name of Jacob Hough, :who testified
that, on the morning of the 2lst day of
March, 1920, Blottenburgh and Riggs
went out of the fort for the purpose of
procuring timber for ramrods; that con-
siderable alarm was excited by their nom
appearance at the roll call at noon, and
much more by their absence in the
evening. The witness, with Andrew
Feeling, another soldier, was sent out
early next morning in search of the
missing soldiers, and having proceeded
about three -fourths of mile from the
fort, found their bodies. They were
shot, scalped, and one of them (Blotten-
burgh) had been cut in the left side with
an axe.
To fix the guilt on the prisoners, an
