Murdo.-Tal Mandan and Ben Hun
cry, Bruie Sioux Indians from the
Rosebud reservation, were the prin-
eipals in a street pistol duel here
which nearly resulted in a tragedy.
AS a result of the shooting Mandan
was arrested by the county authort-
ties on the charge of assault with in
tent to kill, and bonds for his appear
ance at the next term of state circuit
court were fixed at $500.
Over-indulgence in the white mans
'frewater' on the part of Mandan was
responsible for the difficulty. The two
warriors had been firm friends for
years, but this was overlooked by
Mandan when the "~irewater" went to
his head. He accused his friend or
having stolen his money, and after a
few words whipped out a six-shooter
and opened fire on Ben Hungry.
Two shots were fired at close range,
but in his intoxicated condition Man
dan was unable to shoot with his &C
customed accuracy. and to this fact
Hungry owes his life.
