My~ Much is said and written concerning the
savage brutality of the Indians and their mas
sacre of white settlers. Some of this is all cor
rect, but it sometimes happens that the boot
gets on the other foot. We are just informed
of massacre of four Indians on the 9TH of Au-
gust by a baud of self-constituted militia, under
the leadership of certain Captain Kicker
1t occurred at Medicine Lodge, Kansas, and
upon a party ofthe Usage Indians. A Probate
Judge of the county in which the massacre oc-
CURED states under bis seal that the firing upon
these Indians was entirely unprovoked by them.
The Indian is not able to discriminate, and if
the survivors of this party shall massacre some
other white folks, it will be terrible affair
Let everybody do justice to the Indian, and we
shall have but small ground for complaint.
