CONFESSED
MURDER OF THE sPlcERF FAMILY
IN NORTH DAKOTA,
Two Indian Boys of Twenty and Seventeen
Declare Themselves the slayers Of the
Six People. Exonerating Caddotte and
Black Hawk.

Bismarck, N. D., Special, April %
Several confessions have been made by
suspects under arrest regarding the muir
der of the Spicer ia mily at Winona. N.
D., and tonight frosa Fort Yates news
was received of full confession bv the
two Indian boys, Paul Holy Track, aged
twenty and Philip Ireland, aged seven
teen, both full blooded Sioux. In the last
CONFESSION, Which seems to be sustained
by every circumstance surrounding the
crime, the boys say that they committed
the murders unassisted and completely
exonerate Black Hawk and Caddotte.
Inc concession explains in detail the
nend1sh massacre Of a family of six, COM
prlslng four generations-great grand
mother, grandmother, mother and the
twin babies-and shows the crime to have
been premeditated and one of the most
heartless and cold-blooded ever commit
ted In the West. The confession was
taken by stenographer and has been
sworn to by both Of the Indians
They state that the day preceding the
murder they went to the Spicer home,
but opportunities for. the deed were not
favorable and they returned on the day
Of the murder under pretense of buying
horse from spicer. They went to the
barn and found Spicer at work cleaning
the stable and they assisted him for about
half an hour. AS soon as his back was
| turned Holy Track picked up an old shot
gun they had brought along and shot
Spicer in the back. Holy Track then ran
| to the house and notified Mrs. Spicer,
but before going instructed Ireland to re-
| load the gun and shoot her as soon as
| she appeared in the barn door, When
! Mrs. Spicer came to the barn Ireland
weakened and did not shoot. Holy Track
then picked up the gun and shot her in
the breast, and as she lay ON the ground
outside Of the barn Ireland stabbed her
repeatedly with pitchfork
Both of the Inciians then started for
| the house and they met old Mrs Waldron
| outside of the door. Holy Track struck
| her in the back with an oak stick and
| also broke her arm with a blow from the
] same weapon. Another blow on the head

applications and entranc.

Annapolis applications and entrance
admissions must necessarily be few
The idea that We ought to duplicate
our military and naval educational
establishments because the ambitious
youths who have been recommended
by their representatives do not wish to
associate with those not of their own
color is worthy Of the attitude of the
South before the war
The astonishing suggestion is all the
more offensive since it proposes that
the United States government shall
confirm the feeling Of supercilious hos
tility that has been rejected by the
great private educational institutions
of the country. Our colleges and uni
versities do not draw the color line.
Through the greatest and proudest of
them colored men have gone with the
approval and sympathy of their white
fellows: High honors have been given
at Yale and other colleges to negro stu
dents, and they suffered no indignity
in their college life.
This, which was true where whole
some public opinion existed, where stu
dents are young men and not cads,
which prevailed where there was no
sense Of elevation above the rest of the
community, no silly idea Of superiority,
ought to be true of those institutions
which are supported by the whole peo
pie. If it is not the sooaer th:y are
remodeled from top to bottom the bet
ter. If there is any such state
Of feeling. at West Point, ana
at Annapolis as makes it. either
impossible or Uncomfortable for
a colored youth who has passed his ex-
aminations creditably to pursue his
studies, then those institutions stand
condemned, and the people will not be
slow in expressing their Cpil. ion
when they become aware Of the un-
pleasant fact. Not in the interest Of
either race, but for the credit Of the
schools which the bounty Of the nation
has founded and sustained, we hope
that no more will be heard Of pro-
posal to elevate and dignity the color
line, and to stamp races, by the ma
tons hand, with the brand Of inequal-
ity. @
