Bismarck, n. d., May 1.-THE pre-
liminary hearing of the five Sioux In
dams who murdered the Spicer family
at Wlnona In February is In progress
at Williamsport, Emmons county.
Holy Track, one of the accused, took
the witness stand, and told the terri
BILE story OF the crime, duplicating
Black Hawk and Cadotte, the two
half breeds, and Standing Bear. De
fender and himself, full-blOod Sioux.
This is Holy Tracks story:
ION Dee. 20 Black Hawk, Cadottee,
Defender and I stole and killed two
cattle. We traded a quarter OF each
to Caldwell for whisky and the rest
we sold to farmers. We stole alto
gether nine head OF cattle and al
ways traded some for whisky to Cald-
well and the rest we sold. Finally we
could get nc more cattle, they were
too poor. and Black Hawk suggested
that W. Kill some white people and get
some money. We planned to kill a
family below Winona, but there were
too many men there and we were
afraid. Black Hawk said: Il know a
man with lots of money near home,
and they are all women there but n
old man; we will kill them Tuesday
Tuesday was very stormy and Black
Hawk said: we will put this OF till
next Monday But Black Hawk had
not been dividing the cattle money
fairly, and / said to the others when
he was gone: Let's fool him and kill
them ourselves and get the money
They agreed, and L said: Il think 1
can get Standing Bear TO help us In
stead which / lid.
ION "Wednesday wo killed them all.
l first shot Mr.. Spicer and Standing
Bear pounded him with a shovel and
then defender stabbed him as he fell
with 4 pltcfOrk. l then went and shot
Mrs. Spicer and stabbed her with n
pitchfork and Defender hit her with an
ak. Cadotte attacked Mrs. Rouse, but
she hit him with something and
knocked him ~sanseless. Then she went
into another room and got a hoe TO de-
fend herself with. / went to kill her
then with the butt end of the gun, but
she was quick and hit me with the hoe,
but maybe she would have killed me
with the hoe If ii had not caught in the
stovepipe wire. / knocked her onto
the lounge and she lay there, as L
thought, dead. but Cadotte. who had
come too, said: She is not dead yet
SO | finished her with an AK. Defend
err meantime killed the two babies.
Standing Bear killed old Mrs. Waldron
with a club as she rocked in her chair.
We got altogether about So in money,
besides the clothes and jewelry. There
was no %outraging of women. The doc
tor was wrong about that"
The officials are satisfied now that
they have the story Of the murder as
II happened. 1t was believed all along
that the four Indians were implicated,
and the man Defender had been under
suspicion. They have all been held for
trial in the district court, which IN
