INK.PA.DU.TA.S BAND.

We have recently been favored at the OF.
tcc of the Superintendent o: Indian Affairs,
with an examination OF a statement made by
an Indian squaw of lnkpaduea's band, Cap
turcd by Joe Campbell, tlotoEwasti, and Lit
tic Crow, IN their attack, on or about the LIST
on Ink pa du- ta's Camp, near Big Drift Wood
Lake. This Lake is about twenty miles
north Of Skunk Lake, and appears to be- n
favorite rendezvous for the Indians of this
Band. ~
The squaw, whose husband died in con-
sequence of wounds received at the attack,
states that at the time Of the murders on the
Des Moincs and at Spirit Lake. LUX -pa-du-
ta':' band was composed Of twelve warriors
and two boys, SONS Of the chelf,with their wo-
men and children, in all but seven lodges
The names OF the party guilty Of the MUIR
dcrs are as follows:

The prisoner from whom the above wa
, derived, states that at the attack on the pal,
ty, by Campbell's band at Big Drift Woo
Lake, the Indians rushed into the water I,
make their escape, and in consequence, sever
al women and children were drowned.
It will be seen that Ink pa du-ta's part.
Originally consisted Of fourteen. inc;udin
! the two boys, but they performed demon
share .? murder and pillage. They are no,
