The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1881-07-28


The Wisconsin murderers, the Williams
brothers, are said to have been good cit
zcns at one time Alonzo, it seems, about
five weeks ago, lost his young wife at the
birth Of her first child, and has blamed the
two physicians who attended her and
threatened to shoot them for not having
saved her life, as he was very devoted to
her an;a. was vas under tho sheriff care
when she died. They will no doubt be
captured, as great number are on their
trail, but it is thought that relatives and
friends are helping them to hide. Their
last crime was the shooting Of the sherifs
Of Pepm and Dunn counties in Wisconsin.
Late years they have been desperadoes Of
the deepest dye. Their father is a good
citizen Of Nebraska, but the boys have
been in the penitentiary several times.
The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1881-07-28

Maj. Mclaughlin the Indian agent who
will take charge of Standing Rock agency,
intends to treat the surrendered Sioux
with kindness and good faith, hoping to
have a peaceful agency. When it is con
sidered that the whole tribe should have
been hanged, and would have been, had
they been captured five years ago, it seems
like returning good for evil, and following
out the words Of the Saviour instead of
the justice Of law. But all is fair in war,
and we may gain peace sooner among our

and by appointing agents who do not wish
to make fortune out OF their situation,
thus causing the Indians to have i'll feeling
and revenge.
