ST. PAUL, Dec. 19.-The prize fight be-
tween Pat killen of this city and Joe
Sheehy of Ashland, Wis, MARQUIS OF
Queensbury rules, for the northwestern
heavy weight championship, lasted about
five minutes and was declared i'll favor of
Killen on a foul. Dick Moore, a local
lightweight pugilist, was chosen referee.
Sheehy at the start tried to rush matters,
but in every one of the three or four
clinches in the first round he fOuled by
striking below the belt while clinched:
Killen got in a number of good blows and
refused to allow his friends to a adVan-

second round the men clinched and killen

on the scene and stopped the fight, which
was decided in Killers favor on the ground
of a foul. Sheehy stripped at 1876 pounds

Bull Heads Body Buried.

FORT YATES, N. D., Dec. 19.-Bull Heads
body was buried at 4 O'Clock to-day with
the same honors that were given to his
dead comrades Wednesday. His widow
stood with his father and brother at the
head of the grave. This poor woman was
on a visit at Cannon Ball river the morn
ing Bull Head was wounded. She learned
from an Indian runner that Bull Head was
not killed and set out afOOt for Sitting
BULBS camp, g miles distant. She passed
through the agency but could not be per.
suaded to stop, and walked to OAK creek,
80 miles further. Learning that he was
not dead and had been sent to the agency,
she turned ana walked back here, making
in all eighty miles without rest. When
admitted to Bull Heads presence she
tainted. More than forty of Sitting Bulls
band have come in and reported to the
agent. The rest are reported by runner
sent out by the agent; to be south Of II, the
reau river.

Hostiles Refuse Rations.

PIERRE, S. d., Dec. 22.-J. M. Coulter
who has just arrived from Fort Bennett
reports the following: Four companies of
infantry left for Plum creek to-day. To-
morrow is ration day. Some rations were
issued to friendlies yesterday. About 200.
lodges of Cherry creek Indians arrived at
Fort Bennett today to receive rations.
About 400 hostiles under Big Foot refuse
to come in, and the troops have been sent
to bring them. An Indian policeman
named Look-in-the-Bus arrived at the
fort yesterday and reported no damage
done to property at Plum creek yet. Cav

told him he would be killed if he stayed.
After he left, the Indians killed some cat

of Sitting BULBS camp, now numbering.
about loo, are encamped on Plum creek
They are almost destitute, have no clothes
and want to come into Fort Bennett for
at Grand river, and the women and chill
dreD did not have time to dress. After
their arrival, Hump, who is now captain
of the Indian police. wanted to take them
to Bennett, but Big Foot objected and
wanted them to join him in his march to
c!ic Ddu LaluS. hump TeIuSeQ, 10 give
them up, and an attack was made on him
by BIG Foot. There was some firing but
no loss of life, and Big Foot was repulsed.
The Cavanaughs have left for Belle
Fusche, where soldiers are stationed, to
help the settlers. All the settlers at Plum
creek have left except Henry Angel. who
stays at his store with two horses saddled
for the past ten days, ready for flight. It
will take the infantry about four days to
reach Plum creek, and settlers are follow

in a large number of Indians, inducing
them to leave off dancing. He thinks If
somebody could induce Big Foot to be-

trouble would be at an end. Big FOOt's
band is four times as large as Humps was.

even we're bent. The faces of the dead
were blackened by powder and dirt.
The Indian police found themselves
handicapped and sought refuge in Sitting
Bulls shack, leaving four dead of their
men and nine of the hostiles, including the
chief. outside. The police began pepper
ing them from the shack with little effect
The hOstiles returned fire and shot out
every window. The Indians had retired
to ambush when the soldiers arrived. The
willows were so dense that not a form was
seen. Captain Fechet formed a skirmish
line and began pouring hot shot into the
ambush. Shouts and cries could be heard
and the corporal thinks there were many
more hostile Indians killed than reported.
The soldiers soon. after returned to the
post, taking the dead, wounded and two
prisoners, nephews of Sitting Bull. whom
the squaws were trying to shelter from
capture. One was twelve, and the other
eighteen years old. The elder had several
rounds of ammunition on his person, but
no weapons.
SITTING BULLS SCALP
was lifted by some one of the braves.
Some of the Indian police say that Red
Tomahawk killed Bull, but as it is not
known that Bull Head shot him through
the left breast, the surgeon thinks the
was the fatal wound. Red TOmahawk is
evidently scared, as he refuses to say any,
thing of his part in the affair. He lsa..ot 2
permanent policeman and did not wear q
uniform. Bull Head was carried to the
agency. where he afterwards died, making
fourteen casualties actually known. Be-
fore he died he said he killed Sitting Bull.
Sitting Bulls body was in horrible shape.
In fact, all the dead bodies were mutilated
frightfuily. One of the Indians battered
the dead warriors face with a plank. At
ter firing of this sport he balanced it across
his nose and with maniaca! glee, left
it in that position. One of the policemen
jumped into the kettle drum and shouted:
"NO MORE GHOST DANCES"
The few remaining hairs on Sitting Bulls
head were clipped off and his moccasins
and bits of clothing were carried away for
relics.
1t is said that among his effects were
found letters from Mrs. Weldon warning
him that the government was going to kill
him and advised him to flee to the Bad
Lands.
This is only a portion of the story told
by Corporal Gum. 1t is given for what
it is worth. He looks and acts like a re-
liable sort of a man but he may be away
off in his statements regarding this affair,
as the soldiers did not know anything of
what was going on until about ready to
move Sunday night. What he says, he
gets from Indians at Standing Rock. How
ever, his statements and that of others who
have come from Standing Rock have
awakened a great deal of curiosity to know
exactly how it a The TRlBUNE's
graphic description in another column is
by one thoroughly reliable, and if in error
it is because of false statements from the
Indian police. They alone know the facts.
No white man was there.

Scheme to Bleed U. S. Senators.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The Evening
Star to-day publishes the account of a
shrewd attempt to make money from the
United States senators, by Nm. Duval and
Mary F. Duval, his wife. They sent letters
to many different senators, stating they
had named their first born after the distin-
pushed statesman on account of their adj
miratiOn for said statesman and because
his state was the native state of the happy
father. Duval always enclosed a certifi-
cate of baptism and a number of tickets
for a benefit about to be given for himself
on account of his having broken a leg from
a fall. Numerous senators sent off hand
some silver cups, properly engraved, n
others were only TOO glad to send money
for tickets to the alleged benefit perform
ance, which was to be given in Baltimore,
that place being the residence of the Du-
vals. Already over twenty first born chill
dren have this couple had. and the number
may increase. The matter came out
through Senator Henderson, who received
the usual letter and baptismal certificate
but happened to remember that he had
Justin Morrill, Duval where Charles Man
dersOn appeared in the one sent him. He
investigated quietly and the facts came
out and the senate was in a mild mirthful
state all day. Among senators who have
been hOnOred by having a child named
for them are: Senators Saunders, Power,
Fettigrew, Sawyer, Washburn and others.
1t is probable that proceedings will be i'll

RAPID CITY, s. d., Dec. I9.-Four hum
dred of seventeenth infantry from Fl.
Russell disembarked here and at other
points on the Elkhorn railway last night
and took up the line of march for General
Cars camp at the junction of the Rapid
Greek and Cheyenne rivers. General
Miles has concentrated at that point eighth
and sixth cavalry, seventh infantry
scouts and artillery, making a fighting
force of 1000 effective e There is a
large encampment of h0stiles on what is
called Grass Basin, in the Bad Lands
about ten miles southeast of Cars camp,
from which thieving fOrages have been
made on ranches. General Miles is max
ing dispositions to guard every pass and
outlet from the camp, and he issued orders
for the cavalry to scout and intercept Sit
ting Bulls followers, who are supposed to
be EN- route to join these hostiles. General
Miles present dispositions contemplate
protection of settlers and holding the In
dians in the basin or pocket, awaiting
a general movement into the Bad Lands
simultaneously with General BrOoke's
forces and result of peace efforts of 500
friendly Indians who left Pine Ridge to-
day to bring in hostiles. Escape of the
Indians being cut off they must soon sur
render or, like Sitting Bull, die fighting.
