 there was some kind of a fandango
 amOng the Indians up there and in 1.-the course of the good time they
 were having some of them got drunk
 and a couple held Charley Nockey
 while another took a knife and slit Iopen his nose. fThey also added in-
 suit to injury by calling him a white
 man. When they turned Charley | loose he got his gun and turned it i loose on them, killing two and Iwounding others. He gave himself up
 at the time and has been held at
