SPOTTED TAIL.
Probable Cause of His Death.

CHiCAGo, August S.-Major A. S.
Burt, of the United States army, now
stationed here, in an interesting inter.
view, gives some points about Spotted
Tail which may account for his death at
Rose Bud Agency. He was a great
friend of the whites, partly because he
was wise enough to know that hostility
toward the government injured the In.
dians and was hopeless. He was man
OF iron will, and enforced implicit and
unGuest;oning obedience to his COM
mands. Ii was his custom TO step in the
street with Winchester rifle aud notify
any recalcitrant or waverlng snb-Chiei
that the eve Of the Great Spirit was on
him, and that unless he obeyrd the
commands of his chief he would probs.
bly, be at once transferred 10 a happier
world. The argument was always
potent, for Spotted Tail was known to
he a man oil his word. The Govern.
ment made him chief OF police in their
employ. Major Burt knew nothing Of
Crow Dog, bnt presumed that he may
have hesn chosen by the agent at Rose
Bud agency TO the position which old
Spot had so long filled, and this may
have excited animosity and brought
about personal conflict.
Spotted Tails Death Confirmed
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The Indian
Bureau has received official information
of the killing OF Spotted Tail by Crow
Dog, another Sioux chief. No particu.
lars have yet been received. There has
been bai feeling between these two
chiefs fof long time, and recently the
SNf-rtsTy OF the Interior ordered Spot
suit with the dtpaftment about the
Sioux department. He thinks Crow Dog
got Jealous Of Spotted Tails prominence
and influence, ,as the latter was killed the
yerv day he was to start for Washington.
Crow Dog was the captain OF police at
the Rosebud Agency when Spotted Tall
and Crow Dog were in Washington to.
eether the last time. There was bad
blood between them and they carried
pistols for each other. Spotted Tail was
ambitious to become the Chief OF all the
Sioux, and Crow Dog was an asplrant
for great honors in the nation and the
department is satisfied that this
rivalry led to the killing.
1t is said here in Washington
upon the authority OF person in the
Indian bureau, that the Indian trouble
in New Mexico, grew out OF bad manage
ment at the Navajo agency. He was
once removed because OF his unpopu'
laritv with the Indians, but few
months ago was restored. The Indians
hate him and have protested against his
heinp placed over them. The Indians
are 81 much dissatisfied that it is said
they will not stay at the agency while
Eastman is in charge.
The Indian Bureau has information
that the Utes ere peacefully and quietly
preparing for a change OF reservation.
