Chief No Waters Record.

Chief No Water. arrested at Pine Ridge
S. d., charged with harboring and refus,
ing to surrender the two Indians who
are wanted for their connection with the
killing OF the cowboys, bears a hard
reputation and is one OF the most des-
pcratc Indians on the Sioux reservation.
Previous to the Indian trouble of two
years ago No Water was ono OF the most
active in inducing the Sioux to engage in
the ghost dance, and underhis lead about
500 Indians gathered at his camp on
Wounded Knee creek and INDUCED in the
dance. SO energetic were they that the
earth where they danced was packed as
firm as a cementcd cellar bottom, and for
q space OF $50 feet in diameter there was
not n vestige OF grass, nor the Indication
OF the smallest shrub. No Water refuses
to adopt the manners and customs of the
whites, but wishes to always remain a
blanket Indian" His prompt arrest so
soon after his bold declaration that he
would not surrender the Indians under
his care nips in the bud any design he
may have had to create trouble. The
Indians on the Sioux reservation as a
whole are disposed to remain on good
tcrms with the government.
