Defender Confessed.

George Defenders confession last
previous to his death has at last leaked
out. 1t is now said, and it comes from
good authority, that Defender admitted
to having taken part in the Spicer
murders. On his death bed Ire said
that himself, Holy Track, Ireland and
Coudotte did the killing, and we're to be
assisted in the murderous attack bv
Black Hawk, but for some reason Black
Hawk failed to meet them at the time
Fixed to proceed to the Spcer ranch, so
they went without him. His statement
throughout corroborated the confession
OF Holv Track and ireland. It is further
stated that his last words were "whv
didn't they hang Black Hawk? Black
Hawk is the man that got us into itv'
II it is true that Defender confessed
to the above, and there seems to be no
doubt about it here, it is a damable
shame that the clutches of the law cam
not be fastened upon Black Hawk, so
that he might be made to suffer for that
atrOclOus crime. 1t makes one shudder
to think Of having an instigator of such
terrible MASSACRE turned loose in our
midst, Unpublished, with the opportun-
lty, Of repeating that which he is thought
to have done and believed to be capable
to do again.-Winona, IN. d. Times.

Sensible men have no war to make

They intend that the first law Of lib
