Crows Killed by Horse Thieves.

In the latter part Of the past winter a
party Of white thieves ran of 4 band Of
ponies from Crazy Heads camp, on the
Crow reservation. Round Iron, 4 young
Indian, prominent among his people,
started with party in pursuit and over
took the marauders. In the melee
which ensued the ponies were recovered
but Round Iron was killed. Shortly
after another attack was made on
the Crow camp, near the head Of Powder
River, and another lot Of ponies run of
by whites. Again the Indians followed,
and getting on the trail of lost stock
were waylaid by the thieves and the
leader of the Crows was shot and killed
and his party driven back.
The late wholesale theft of $50 ponies
from the reservation is known to have
been committed by gang of Black
Hills rustlers and it is probable that the
earlier raids are chargeable to members
Of the same crowd.

Is it Lon Maxwell?

There arc various rumors, more or less
startling in their character, circulating
in town to-day in regard to the career Of
James Edwards. Inquiry shows them
to be groundless, excepting possibly one
story which he himself told while here
in Jail, that last year he picked up a
wagon and team Of horses in jamestown,
Dakota, and sold them for S27jj and then
hastily left the place. Press.
One Of the rumors referred to is as we
learn that this man Edwards is really
notorious criminal and fugitive from
Wisconsin justice named Lon Maxwell,
or Williams, well known by reputation
to those who lived in Minnesota and
Wisconsin in the summer of 1891 At
that time Lon and Ed Maxwell, or Vii
liams, brothers III blood as well as in
crime, were wanted by the officers Of
Wisconsin for horse stealing and various
other offences against law. At Memo
minee, Wis, Deputy Sheriff Coleman
and his brother sighted the outlaws and
made an attempt to capture them. and
both officers We're shot dead by the
-killiully handled Winchesters, which
the MaXweils always carried with them.
excitement and Indignation, as the Cole
mans were highly respected and be-
loved. For MANY months a large force
of officers and volunteers secured the
forests of Wisconsin, where the outlaws
We're believed to be concealed, but with
out success. Early in the following win
ter they were traced and run to ground
in farm house in Nebraska. Ed was
captured, but Lon, by a sudden spring
and Il good use of his legs, escaped and
no certain intelligence Of him has since
been obtained. Ed was brought back to
Durand, Wis, near the scene of his
crime, and when brought into court for
examination was seized by the mob and
hanged to the nearest tree. Now it APP
pears that from his likeness to photo
graph of Lon Maxwell in the possession
of the sheriff of Custer county and from
language dropped to his fellow prisoners,
particularly e. A. Macarthur, that there
is good reason to believe that the cs-
caped convict Edwards is the outlaw
Maxwell who has indictments for mur-
der and also lesser crimes hanging over
his head in Wisconsin and Illinois, and
who is currently believed to have coolly
shot young man at Herman, Mime
sofa.
