PINE RIDGE AGENCY, >. d., req. o.
The following message has just been
received by Capt. Brown from l. Nj.
Humphreys on the White river at the
camp where the four white men were
murdered:
81 arrived here at camp today and
found things too horrible to describe.
Four men were killed in the cabin.
There were two of them working for
me. The other ones are strangers to all
of us. l was expecting to start for the
agency tomorrow with beef. The
strangers were boys looking for horses
and live eight miles north of the agency.
Can't you send down for theirremains. ="
All the bodies are now identified as
follows: George Hathaway and Will
lam Underwood, cowboys; Young Kelly
and Bacon, the two strangers, who live
about eight miles north of the agency.
The story that has been sent out that
the murdered men were drunk is false
in every particular. Two Indians by
the name of CraWlS and Bear-Eagle
tell the following story which is
corroborated by evidence. Two Sticks
party came out of the house where they
had been going through the ghost-dance
ceremony. They were all painted up
and had on their war clothes. They
directed their members to 60 on the war
path, and said that the time to
Murder All the Whites
had arrived. Crawls and Bear-Eagle
told them they were acting foolish and
would get in trouble and they had better
go home. Two Sticks. his two sons
and White-Face Horse commenced to
sing the war dance song. Crawls
and Bear Eagle then left them
and went home. Just as the moon was
coming up Bear Eagle heard some
shots. He got OH his horse and started
for Young Man-Afraid-ot-H Horses
camp. Before he got there he met Bear
Eagle, an Indian, and told him to go and
tell Young ManAfraid-of- His-HorSe
While they were talking Black Hawk
and BIackElk, both Indian police, came
I'D. They told them about hearing the
shots, and started for the cowboys
camp. There they found three men
killed and one more mortally
wounded. They built fire and tried
to get the wounded man 70 talk. All he
could say was: Eyes, yes" 1t is also
we'll known that Two Stricks, after the
killing. told one Indian that his party
had killed them just because they were
white men. 1t is known that both
Young Kelly and Bacon were strangers,
white men, and were straightforward
and honorable. and
Were Strictly sober.
Both of the cowboys, Mr.. Humphrey,
the contractor, says were excellent men,
and did not drink. This shows that it
was cowardly and cruel murder. Capt.
Brown has established camp of police,
fifteen in number, where this oc-
Cured, and intends to keep them
there the balance of the winter.
The police are still looking for
the two murderers that escaped. One is
a solsof Two Sticks and one a Young
Indian named Two Two. They are
closely surrounded by the police and
cannot get into the Bad Lands.
The police report that they
will get them before torty-eight
hours. Everything is quiet. The In
dians are still praising Z pt Brown and
the police for doing their duty. Col.
Cisney, United States inspector, is still
here. He is we'll versed in Indian mat
tiers. He says no further trouble is an

The killing Confirmed.

Two Sticks Instead of Two Strikes.
There are about $500 Indians on Pine
Ridge reservation, and amoug these
there are, or rather were, only about
80 who were inclined to be discon-
tented, and the ones killed were
the worst. This decisive action and
the respect which the great body of In
dams have for Acting Agent Brown are
all that is needed to keep the relations
between the Indians and whites pleas
ant and satisfactory. The remains of
the cowboys were taken to Hermosa, s
