CUSTER KILLED SELF,
FRONTIER JUDGE SAYS
Was Not Ambushed by Indians;
Whites Forced Little Big
Horn Battle.

Chicago. Nov. 25.-Judge Aaron Nc
Gufyey Beede OF Standing Rock Reser-
vation. North Dakota. who has spent
nearly the last half-century among
North American Aborieines. brought
10 Chicago yesterday a new version OF
the famous Battle at Little Big Horn
River in 1875. Hitherto. only the white
mans side Of this battle has been told.
Judge Beede presents the side Of the
red men.
He denies that Custer and his little
band were ambushed. on the contrary.
the Indians were forced to fight for
their wives and homes. he said. They
say 1t was fair fight. forced by Gus
tex. and that the best side won. The
Sioux had no animosity toward Gus
ter.
On the other hand. they respected
him highly. believed he would be the
next President OF the United States
and they would fare well under his ad-
ministration. They sought 10 capture
him alive. but after his cavalrymen
had been slain and he was wounded
severely in the side. he discharged
his own pistol down his throat.
Politics figured in the aifair. The
army was facing a reduction of TO-
600 men. and army leaders and wealthy
cattlemen thought by creating trouble
with the Indians. they could ward on
trouble. The cattlemen desired the rich
Montana lands upon which the Indians
were camping at the time. There were
also hints that Custer was facing
court-martial because OF some irregu-
larities in the accounts OF a relative
of General Grant.
Indians told Judge Beede that the
entire battle. in which Custer and his
$50 cavalrymen were wiped out. was
over In about 20 minutes. Not more
I than 500 Sioux opposed the white
/ forces. but the Indians were bette
armed and had the advantage in tn
/ lay of the land.
