NEGRO ARCH FIEND OF
SIOUX MASSACRE DIES
Gusa Godfrey Blooded Negro Who Committed Such
Unforsetable Atrocities at New Ulm During the
Uprising. Dead in Nebraska
LEAVES NO FRIENDS TO MOURN HIS DEATH

81 raul DlSpatch:
Morton, Mimi, July 24.-Gusa
Godfrey, the negro whose name
struck terror to the stout hearts of
old pioneers in this region, died at
the Santee Indian reservation in Ne
braska, about 70 years old, hated
and despised by redskin and paleface
alike, for his part in the Sioux mas
sacre and its aftermath.
Godfrey was full-blooded negro,
who lived near the Sioux agency
with an Indian woman. He joined
the Indians when they took the war
path and by his cunning and bravery
became the most atrocious murderer
among them. He knew personally
every settler along the valley, every
child in each family, all the officers
and nearly all the privates in Fort
Ridgeley. Godfrey was present at
the killing of the Zimmerman fami-
ly looked with glee on the headless
body of DR.. Humphrey in a hog pen
and personally directed the ambus-
cade of the party west of Beaver
Creek. He drove wagon containing
three prisoners, Mary Anderson and
Mary Swandt and Mary Schwartz,

and permitted the Indians to torture
them into insensibility. Then he
left the unfortunate Mary Anderson
to die on the roadside from bullet
from his own rifle while he pretend
ed to go for assistance. He was the
prime mover in the murder of Capt.
Marsh and his men at the ferry.
Godfrey knew the location of every
building in Fort Ridgeley and New
Ulm, just where to shoot through
them or the most expedient way to
destroy them. At New Ulm he dis
carded all rules of modern warfare
and boosted afterwards that he had
killed more German babies than it
was possible for him to count.
Finally when the great drama was
ended he turned states evidence and
by his vivid and CHASTITY narrative of
horrors, sent thirty-nine of his COM
rades to die on the gallows at Man
kato. For this he was given a lease
of life, lease no doubt which would
have certainly been broken if he
ever visited Minnesota or left the
Santee reservation, where he lived
FOR forty seven years.

The Jury in the Reed Wilcox Assault
Case Agrees to Disagree.

The State VS.. Reed case in munich
pal court ended about as was ex-
pected, in disagreement. AS
brought out in the trial, it appears
that Mrs. Wilcox, accompanied by
her daughter Grace and the hired
girl Of the family, started up town,
Mrs. Wilcox wheeling the two
younger children in the cab. There
had been considerable bad blood be-
tween the children of the family
and the oldest Reed boy, about nine
or tens years old, who took up some
previous quarrels and talked rather
rudely to Mrs. Wilcox and the girl
and also made some demonstration
toward little Grace, who is about
seven years old, and was being
backed up by his two sisters, one
older and one younger than himself.
The hired girl. Miss Heinhilber,
slapped or struck him and he also
struck her with whip he was car
rying. AS result of the melee he
was getting the worst of it and had
been thrown or knocked down twice,
when Mrs. Reed brought reinforce
ments and the tide of battle turned
in favor of the Reed family. Mrs.
Reed caught up the whip and gave
Miss Heinhilber several heavy cuts
with it, and the young lady in turn
was hitting her back at rapid gait,
but was unable to resist the heavy
artillery of Mrs. Reed and was in
danger of being put to route when
her uncle, Mr.. Bell, came over and
interfered, after which all the Reed
forces reiterated in good line of bat
tie to the house near which the bat
tie had been raging.
Mrs. Reed was arrested for the
assault, and County Attorney Owens
conducted hostilities from thencefor-
ward according to the rules of pro-
ceedure contained in the municipal
court code. Ed. Reed, husband of
Mrs. Reed, was commander in chief
of the other forces and the fight was
conducted in the presence of II men
good and true, who were unable to
agree who was to blame, the verdict
standing five for conviction and sew
en- for acquittal, we understand.
The closing argument of Mr.. Reed
was one of the most thrilling in the
history of legal combats in that
court. In glowing words that
brought the tears to eyes unused to
moisture of that sort. he portrayed
the mother battling for her young;
the hard work he did in hauling
gravel and the fact that it was that
sand and not the lack of the other

kind that accounted for the fact
that his wife had to bear the battle
alone He spoke of her feelingly as
that "homely little woman" In
spite of objections, he took the COM
bat back to other days and showed
up scars and gashes received on
other fields by his children from the
Wilcox youngsters, and asked that
the jury go and see where the blood
of young Reed yet stained the pave
ment where the battle was the hot
test. In short it was the general
consensus of opinion that he did bet
ter than any attorney he could have
hired to plead for him. So far it
must be left as one of the historical
drawn battles of the ages.
There is a phase of the case that
did not wholly appear in the pro-
ceedings that rather obscures the
ridiculous features of the affair.
Mr.. Wilcox bought and occupies as
his home the old Powell residence.
The Reeds rent the old Powell office
Just east of the residence, the two
properties being separated by a
fence and d hedge planted by Major
Powell in the happy days when there
was no strife between the premises.
This hedge looks as though it had
been through a battle. At the time
of the trial there was a good big
wheelbarrow load of missiles of all
sorts against the Wilcox house, and
it is apparent that these things have
been flying over the fence and
through that hedge quite frequent
ly. Among the other stuff were
stones larger than mans fist. Both
families have very young children
and if the thing keeps on some day
there will be serious injury or death
to report Both families claim the
debris was gathered up on the other
side and thrown over to annoy them.
At that time it was mainly all over
on the Wilcox side.
The Pv Lands wound up their last
trip by shutting out Waseca 8 to 0

day game with Albert Lea Z to 8.

cation he is the president. He re-
turned via Minneapolis yesterday.
