PROBATE NOTICE

Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1886-11-18
Rain-in-t he-Face.

Rain-in-the-face, the sub-chief of the
Dakota Sioux, who was in the battle of
the Little Rosebud and was the Indian
who shot Custer, has appealed to the In
dian Bureau to be allowed to attend school.
He desires to come Hast and enter Hsmp-
ton Indian school in Virgins. Rain-in-
the-face is now 40 years cd, and has been
for several years located at Cheyenne
Agency, in Dakota. He has always been
an influential man among the various
bands, but has found out that an Indian
with more education like Red Cloud is
stronger with the young men of late
years than the ignorant chiefs. Hence
his desire for some education. The In
dian bureau is by no means satisfied that
granting this request would be judicious.
There Is strong feeling of Rain-in-the-
face In the west as the murderer of Gus
ter, and the late criticisms in the papers
in the west on favors shown Indians who
had killed white men has rendered the
bureau cautious in the matter.
