The Dillon tribune., 1881-11-19

The Ri7rv Press thinks the shearing of
Bad Bulls hair, bad business. It says:
When Sheriff Healy went North re-
Gently after the Indian thieves who had
stolen the horses Of Harrison Bros, and
back with him Blood Indian, known as
Bad Bull, as a hostage, supposedly, tor the
return Of the lost horses and guilty Indians.
1t was not pretended that Bad Bull HAD
| nything to do with stealing the horses, he
was simply held as hostage. On Monday
morning the Sheriff, accompanied by some
friends entered the jail for the purpose of
setting the Indian free. Soon they were
joined by Mr.. Dryer, the tonsorial artist,
and notwithstanding his protests and pit
eous appeals, his long black hair was soon
clipped, and Bad Bull like Sampson Of old
was sl,orn OF his pride and strength. When
It YVES learned what had been done indigna-
ton ran high among our citizens. In ev.
cry quarter the act was pronounced fool
ish laundering outrage. To any one who
will stop to think of the probable results It
must 30 appear. Bad Bull would almost
as soon lose his scalp as his hair. The loss
Of the latter means deep disgrace and hu.
initiation. It would be impossible without
taking his life to do him greater injury.
He returns to his tribe disgraced and will
, remain in disgrace until he wipes out the
stain in blood. If he were to come back
and take vengeance on our funny Sheriff II
might not be so bad. But he will not dc
that. The first chance he gets to kill q
J white man he will do It, and Bad Bull Il
just the kind Of an Indian to delight in ven
geance Of this character. Some Of the set
k tiers on our northern frontier may he tn,
Y victims. No one knows. But mark tn,
1 prediction, Bad Bu' anless his earthly ca
), reer is shortly cls J.. will be heard from
{ We warn our re-: rs on the northern out
