OF blasts at the l50.foot level, and slid
down a man hole near by to get out Of
the way. Two other blasts had just
been touched off near the bottom, and
they both exploded when he was about
twenty feet distant. He was hit by
several pieces Of flying rock. His right
eye was blown completely out Of his
head and the left slightly injured. lie
was considerably bruised in other por-
tions Of the body. but not seriously.
DR.. Thibodo. his physician, thinks that
he is not injured internally. and that
the only danger OF q fatal result is the
possibility Of Inflammation following
the optic nerve and reaching the brain.
The unfortunate man did not hear the
warning given by the miners who set
of the other blast, hence the accident.
Bare recently returned from tho Wood
River country. and had only been work

suffering considerable pain Monday

way to Washington when murdered.
He was IL an ambulance, accompanied
by several other chiefs, when Crowdog
rode up. and placing n revolver against
his breast shot him dead. Crowdog
Immediately fed to Fort Niabrara for
protection. Crowdog is not q chief,
but is ambitious to become one. ana for
a long time has been engaged in Great
ing discord among the Indians. Spot
ted Tail was permitted to visit the Offices
of the Agency at pleasure. but the other
chiefs were not accorded this privilege
except when n general council was held.
This caused JEALOUSY. July 18th Crow
dog called a council Of his friends to
test the feeling Of the Indians. Crow
dog made n speech, pointing GU that
favors were shown Spotted Tail by the
Government, which ought to be shown
to all the Indians alike, and that il he
were made chief things would be made
diff. rent. Standing Elk spoke for peace
and harmony, and was followed by
Spotted Tail, who happened along.
Spotted Tail denounced Crowdog as a
snake in the grass. and called on him
to come out like a man. Barring his
breast he called on Crowdog to empty
his revolver in his heart. aud called
him n squaw and a coward. Crowdog
responded that he was not ready to do
that. but would do it when lenst ex-
pected. Spotted Tails three sons
tried unsuecessiully to get the old man
home, and to guard him with their
rifles. Spotted Tail was not III the
habit Of carrying firearms, and was nn-
armed when murdered. lie was fifty
