steamer Kcln. with her crew, has
foundered. Only one person is known
to have been saved. The steamer
Underwater, which was towing the

heard from. and fears are entertained
that she foundered in the gale. The
Otter is ashore in the upper harior.

Rescued With Great Difficulty

GEORGE BEAR Will SIN NO MORE
WALKS TO ScAFFoLD WITHOUT
SLIGHTEST TRACE OF
WEAKNESS.
NE COMMITTED TWO MURDERS
KILLED HIS sTEPsoN AND AN IN.
DIAN SCHOOL TEACHER AND
FARMER.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Dec. S.-George
Bear was hanged at 9:o3 yesterday
morning. Displaying the utmost nerve,
Bear was led on to the scahold at
900. Quickly the moose and cap were
adjusted, and just minute later the
trap was sprung which hurled Bear
into eternity.
Not a sign Of weakness was made
by the Indian. While the moose was
being adjusted Rev. William Holmes,
an Episcopal minister of Indian blood,
from the Santee agency, Neb., was Of
fering up a last prayer for the victim.
At 9:03 the trap was sprung and
thirteen minutes later Bear was pro-
nounced dead by the physicians. The
body was taken in charge by Rev. Mr..
Holmes, who left with it at once for
Bears home on the Brule reservation,
where he will be buried by his friends.
Only small crowd of legal witnesses
and newspaper men were present, be-
sides the government officials.
George Bear and John Shaw, his
stepson, had cut some hay on shares.
Shaw sold some of the hay to liy-
eryman at Bonesteel. A question
arose as to the division of the money.
Bear referred the trouble to John G.
Tayloe, school teacher and reserva-
ton farmer, having charge of the
Ponca Creek division of the Rosebud
reservation. Tayloe had no authority
to settle the dispute, but wrote to Maj.
McChesney, agent, and told Bear that
the agent would settle it. About Oct
1 Bear borrowed shotgun of a white
man, saying he was going to hunt
chickens. Oct 8, while out in his
buggy with the
Shotgun by His Side,
he saw Shaw going to town with
load Of the hay which they had a joint
ownership in. Bear drove up to the
wagon and asked Johnny Shaw for a
writing" which would show his
(Bear's) interest in the hay. Shaw
refused to give him any satisfaction,
and Bear, who was behind the load,
on which Shaw was standing, shot
him in the back. Shaw fell off the
load, when Bear walked around in
front of Shaw and shot him in the
breast.
There were three witnesses to this
murder-Shorty-thigh, Mrs. Shorty
thigh and John Shaw, Jr., son of
the murdered man.
Bear fired one shot at Shorty thigh
and then got in his buggy and started
for the schoolhouse, some three miles
away, where Tayloe was holding
school, When he reached the school
he entered and found Tayloe. Mrs.
Tayloe, Cain Milk and Daniel Milk
were sitting on the platform. Tayloe
said: Hello, George, been hunting
chickens?"
Bear replied: eyes. 1 have killed
one and now will kill another" He
raised his gun and fired the piece
while only six feet distant from Tay-
loe. The charge entered the right
breast, tearing an immense hole in
the coat and the breast. Tayloe sank
to the floor and died Immediately in
his wife's arms.
Bear then returned home and slept
over night. The next morning he
went to Bonesteel and gave himself
uO.
