CROW AGENCY. Mont, October
30.-Flaming arrows, shot from the
bows of Crow Indians from the cover
of farm wagons, brought an end to a
siege near here yesterday after
negro fugitive had barricaded him
self in his barn home and killed two
officers and wounded another before
flames drove him into the open,
where he was riddled with bullets.
Ordered by Sheriff Robert Gilmore
of Big Horn County to leave the
agency because suspicion attached it.

robberies, Jim Bolden 40. a cobbler,
barricaded himself in the barn.
300 Guns Open Fire.
He shot and killed Gilmore and
John Mcleod, a special federal Off
Ger. and wounded Deputy Sheriff
Andy Bornberger before Grow Indian
braves fired the structure with burn
ing arrows and drove him into the
open. A volley from 900 guns fired
by Indians, officers and residents of
the agency riddled Bolden's body as
he fed.
The negro was not dead when en-
ragged members of the attacking forces
reached him. A score of hands seized
him and tossed him into the flames
TO be Cremated.
Victor Three Irons. chief of police
at the agency, suspected BOlden of
several recent robberieS. and after a
conference between Three Irons and
Gilmore, the latter ordered the negro
to leave. Bolden fled to his barn
home and shot Gilmore when the
officer followed.
Warriors Ordered Out.
Forced to cover by the negro's bull
lets, the officers ordered out the Crow
warriors. They were armed with re-
peating rifles, while a squad of arch
ers carried eXcelsior-tipped arrows
which had been soaked in oil. Ad-
vancing under cover of a steady fire
from flank parties. the archers
reached some wagons within easy
range of the barn.
A scene of pioneer days followed.
With arrows striking the shingled
roof, Mcleod rushed for the barn. He
fell mOrtally wounded. Dornberger
then led a sally and was knocked out
with a scalp wound. Fire from the
arrows then spread rapidly and the
negro was soon driven from the flam-
ing structure.
He fell an easy victim of the
Indian markSmen.
