INDIAN. MURDERS TWO MEN
E, 0. Tsylss, Teacher at POnca Station, One
Of the Victims.
OTHER IS JOHNNY SHAW, A HALF BREED
George Bear, the Murderer, who Has
Heretofore Borne a Good Reputa-
tIOn, IL Captured by ON
GERS at Bonesteel.

STUART, Neb.. Oct. ESPECIAL Tele-
gram.) .)-Later news from Naper gives the
particulars Of the murder OF e. G. Tayloe
teacher OF the Indian school at the Ponca
issue station on the Sioux reservation, last
evening by al Indian named George Bear.
An order was recently issued by Indian
Agent McChesney OF Rosebud, forbidding
the sale OF wood. On Sunday Bear had
asked permission OF Mr.. Tayloe to take a
load Of wood to Bonesteel for sale. His re-
quest was refused and he went away with
a very bad heart.
He was not seen again till last evening,
when he suddenly appeared again at the
school house with a shotgun. He walked
into the school room and shot the teacher
in the breast at close range without giving
him the least warning. From there he went
a short distance and in the same manner
shot Johnny Shaw, a half-breed killing him
instantly. Shaw was a relative OF Bear.
Bear owned several quarter sections of land
and Shaw managed It for him, leasing It to
the stockmen for hay and grazing purposes.
What his grievance was is not known, but
It was something in connection with the
management of his property. Bear then
fed and was arrested at Bonesteel this
morning by the civil authorities.
Since their rations were cut down about
year ago the Indians have been sullen
and morose. They have held frequent Sc
cret councils among themselves, and 1t Is
probable that Bear had brooded over his
real or fancied wrongs until he had worked
himself up to a frenzy. He was a good
worker and heretofore his department had
always been good.
Tayloe, the murdered teacher. was a ma
tive Of Virginia. He had been in the In
dian service a long time. He was trans
ferred to this agency only few months ago.
BONESTEEL, S. D., Oct. 9.-(Speclal
Telegram.)-E. c. Tayloe, a white boss
farmer and teacher at the Indian school
eleven miles west Of Bonesteel, and Johnnie
Shaw, living in the same locality, were
shot and killed yesterday afternoon by
George Bear, an Indian.
A dispute over hay led to the crime.
The murderer has borne a good reputation
as one of the best workers among the In
dians. The murdered men were prominent.
Bear came TO BO1esteei this morning TO
see a friend and was captured. He had a
loaded shotgun when taken.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 14-Sum-

waGkee Teachers association, more than
half of whom are paid less than ward
laborers and window washers about the
public buildings, schoolhouses included,

expressions of members it would seem
that something in the nature of a strike
is not improbable.
There are Cos public school teachers who
are receiving smaller yearly salary than
the wages of the day labOrer in Mil
waukee, according to a report to be made
by the committee on city salaries which
will be submitted and it will show that
the teachers of the city are the most
poorly paid of any city in the United
States. An appeal will be made for an
increase in wages and the influence Of the
demand will be felt Already the rumors
of it have caused a stir in the school
beard, and Superintendent Siefert said
last night he was investigating it.
What the outcome will be Is probIemat-
