Member of the OtOe Tribe Near Perry
Proves Mighty Bad Injun.

Perry, o. T, June 12.-(SpeciaD-
William Grant is one of the most INTEL
ligent Indians in the Otoe nation. He
has a magnificent farm adjoining the
strip about ten miles north of Perry. In
some way some horses belonging to
Sam Robinson, an imbecile in charge
of Judge Mckinney, got into Grants
field and did some damage.
This was the beginning Of the trouble
The following particulars are given as
gathered from a friend of Robinson'S S:
Judge Mckinney paid the $500 de-
manded by Grant and promised to get
the horses Sunday. But one of the
judges boys and Robinson started off
with revolver to kill some squirrels
and finally rounded up at Grants and
asked him for the horses.
While they were talking Grant sud-
denly seized Robinson around the body
and took from him his revolver and a
pocketbook containing about 5000 in
money. These he took to the house and
then came back and attacked Robinson
with a knife, the latter also using a
knife to defend himself with. Robin
son was badly cut around the head and
arms and was also badly bruised about
the head by a club which Grant pro-
ceeded to use with great effect.
In the mean time the Mckinney boy
had jumped on a horse and started for
help. The Judge took his Winchester
and started for the scene of action but
the fight was over. Robinson was near
~ killed and the Indian had started off
with the other of Robinson'S horses,
but gave il up as he saw he was al
ready pursued. For some reason
Grant had Robinson arrested, but the
sheriff is out now after Grant. The
case is likely to prove serious one be-
