ALL ABOUT A SQUAw.
Four Montana Indians Fight TO the
Death with KNIVES.


CHICAGO, Jan. IA dispatch from Blackfeet
agency, via Fort Shaw. Mont. says: A courier
reached here last evening from Sweet Grass
Hills with news of a fight that occurred on
Wednesday last between a quartet of Gros
Nentres and River Crow Indians. The struggle
occurred about sundown on January 2 on the
banks of Cottonwood creek. in the foot hills.
three of the reds being killed outright and the
fourth seriously siashed that he died on Fri
day night. 1t appears that for several months
Spotted Dog, Gros Nentre brave. had been
paying frequent visits 10 a River Crow squaw.
in spite of warnings from her brother, named
Willow, TO keep away. Wednesday Spotted
Dog set out with companion on hunting ex-
petition up Cottonwood creek. The couple
were followed by Willow and a young half
breed named Joe Hunks, and when about 30
miles from the Crow camp Willow and the half
breed caught up with Spotted Dog and his COM
panion and commanded them TO halt An
alteration ensued which resulted i'm a chal-
lenge from Spotted Dog to have il out then and
there. The challenge was accepted, and, de-
posting their guns and blankets on the bank Of
the creek,
THE GLADIAroRs DREW THEIR KNIVES
and squared away for the fight. Spotted Dog
and Willow were pitted against each other,
and at the first lunge Willow buried his knife
in the muscle of his antagonists right arm,
disabling it. The fight lasted half an hour,
and at Its conclusion Spotted Dog, Willow, and
the half-breed Hunks, were dead or dying, and
the surviving Gros yentre. bleeding from seve-
raj wounds. was barely able 10 mount his pony
and ride to the camp, where he made known
the result of the battle, and subsequently died
of his wounds. The affair has created great
deal of bad feeling between the Indians, and
FURTHER TROUBLE Is FEARED.
Several of the Gros Ventres have gone 10
Piegan and purchased large quantities Of ammu-
milton, and il is surmised that they mean 10
avenge the death of Spotted Dog. Agent Al
len has taken precautions TO prevent any OF
the Blackfeet leaving this agency, and word
will be sent TO Agent Lincoln, at the Gros yen-
tire agency. TO adopt similar measures to pre-
vent a conflict
