content: "Lieutenant Bull Head and Sergt. Shave Head went into Sitting Bull's house on the Grand River, in Dakota, to arrest him and prevent him from going to Pine Ridge to join the Ghost Dancers. When Sitting Bull got outside the door his son, Crow Foot, said to his father: "You are very brave, but when the police are here you act like a child." Sitting Bull went back into the house and refused to go. Crow Foot rushed out and called to the Indians to come, the police were taking his father. The Indians rushed to the house and a general fight started. Bull Head was shot. He turned and shot Sitting Bull, and another Indian fired a shot at Sitting Bull. The police put Bull Head on a bed, and Crow Foot crawled under the bed. Bull Head said he was dying, and Crow Foot, who caused the trouble, was under the bed. The police dragged him out and fired two shots into him. Crow Foot was a bright boy and Lieut. Bull Head was a fine Indian character. Serg. Shave Head, a daring brave Indian, was a brother of the noted chief, Rain-in-the Face. "The fight took place just coming daylight, on December 15th, 1890." --Notation photograph in the Burdick Collection of Barry photographs. (February 1937).
