The Band and Goddard Orchestra
gave concert at Blunt last Friday
| night, to a fair audience, considering
the storm that was raging. We under
stand that some Of the people Of Blunt
have agreed to guarantee certain sum
if they will repeat the concert there at
some future date. They evidently
have ears for good music down there.
The Band and Orchestra will in all
probability give another Concert at
Blunt.
Our little town is becoming noted
for It's numerous musicians and the tai
ents in that line displayed. The Con-
cert given by the Onlda Band and God
dard orchestra, under the leadership of
Prof. Reed, last Thursday evening,
was the finest entertainment of it's kind
we have had the pleasure Of listening
to for a number of years. There was
fine music by the full band, the God
dard orchestra, cornet and violin solos,
brass duette and vocal solos, all rem
dered in beautiful harmony, and show
ed that Prof. Reed had complete con-
troll of his pupils. The Onida people
should feel proud Of their musicians
and encourage them IN substantial
way. They deserve good liberal treat
ment.
On Monday OF last week Captain
Straight Head, and six Indian poice-
men, went to the residence of William
Fielder, near the Cheyenne Agency,
under instructions from Agent Frank
Llllibridge, to arrest him for whipping
his wife because she refused to give
him the money received by her loss of
ponies, and bring him berore the pro-
per Agency official. Fielder closed the
door of his house and refused the po-
lice admission, whereupon they burst
open the door and were met by Fielder
with an axe drawn ready to strike.
The police opened fire, shooting Field
er eight times killing him instantly.
The Indians were arrested by the Dep
uty U. S. Marshal and taken before U.
S. Commissioner Laird, at Pierre, who
bound them over to appear at the next
term Of the u. S. Court for manslaugh-
ter. Fielder was "squaw man" and
has for a long time been terror to the
Indians, who is said grasped this op-
portunity of killing under the protec-
ton of the law.
