HORN CLOUDS DEED.
Every Living Thing in Sight Fell a
Victim to His De ably Rifle.
Further particulars are received of the
Indian tragedy near Fart Yates. A cores
pondent says: We proceeded up the river
bottom to point in Emmon's county about
three miles north of Winona and four miles
from this post. Entering cautiously alonely
ravine
ONE SOLITARY TEPEE
was visible, and on approaching more
closely the body ola man was seen lying
face downward a few feet from the tepee.
This proved to be Horn Cloud, the muir
derer, stone dead. A short search revealed
the body Of No Water, entirely devoid Of
life, a few rods distant. At first the woman
in the case could not be found, but follows
ing a trail of blood in the direction of an
Indian village on the west side OF the river,
about three miles from the scene of the
shooting, the apparently iteless body Of
Julia, daughter of Irish Mike, notorious
Devils Lake halfbreed, lay covered with
blood. During the search Indians by tho
hundred had gathered, and the air was
filled with the weird death wall OF the
Sioux. The woman was taken to O hut in
the village, where DR.. Brewster made a
Nasty examination of her injuries, and as
SOON as a conveyance could be procured
rAmoved her to the hospital. I gather from
No Waters wife, speaking through an in
tdrpr eter, the circumstances directly at
finding the shooting and from other relia-
bls sources the precedent acts. The
Wounded woman, Julia, is strikingly
handsome mixed blood, about eighteen
WARS old, of quite lair complexion and the
d'tures and figure of an Amazonian
queen. Her virtue, however, does
nps appear to have been of the
Spartan order. Last summer she
RAN AWAY FROM HER HOME
at Devils Lake, coming to this agency with
a Houng man and passing as his wife. The
twain lived happily for few weeks, when
the young man abandoned her She then
took up with Horn Cloud, who develop
mcnts have sufficiently proved was madly
in love with her, but, unfortunately, Horn
Cloud already had a wife and numerous
children, and the agency authorities could
nor permit his liaison with the lair Julia,
and their dream of love was interrupted
about six weeks ago by Incarceration in the
agency guard house ia separate apartments.
AttF few days medtation Horn Cloud
waSpermittcu to return to the bosom OF
his family, while Julia was kept in durance
Yileluntil few days ago, when an oppor-
tuniiy offered to send her home to her
parents in charge of 'trusty Indian, No
WATER. Starting on their journey the
partE, consisting of No Water, wife. and
son Ind Miss Julia, travelled but few miles
and made camp for the night Late in the
evening Horn Cloud presented himself in
the camp and spent the night earnestly
pleading with Julia to return and live with
himhgain, but she would not listen to his
entraaties, and this morning Horn Cloud,
broksn hearted, prepared to- leave her, ask,
ing Her to come to him and bid him good
bye brewer, He held her in his arms kiss
ing ier passionately.
THE GIRL LoosENED HERSELF
fromIhis embrace and turned to enter the
tepee, when Horn Cloud seized his rifle,
and, deliberately placing the muzzle at her
neckI fred. No Water was a few yards
away Harvesting his pony to the travers,
and started to the rescue of the girl. Horn
Cloud quickly reloaded and put bullet
through the pony's head; then fired shot
which brought No Water to the ground
Turning to the girl again the inturiated
brute, put three more bullets into the
PROSTATE body. In the meantime No Water,
who had not been MORALLY wounded at
first, had found his legs and was trying to
escape, but Horn Cloud quickly overlook
him and literally pumped him full of lead
At this point, No Waters wife and child
made their escape by hiding in the brus b,
and to the subsequent proceedings there was
no eye witness, but it is evident that Horn
Cloud, believing that both No Water and
Julia were dead, returned to where the girl
lay and, placing the muzzle of the rifle at
his own heart, pulled the trigger and in
stantly fell dead at the feet of the woman,
love Tor whom had driven him to commit
this maniac deed.
