Soldier WAHINOTO Feb llTho Sioux Indian conference was concluded todar and the Indians will tomorrow or Friday start for home going by war ot Philadelphia and Cat llile Tho feature of todays meeting was tbe story of tbe flcht nt Wounded Rneo which waa toll by Turning Hawk and American Horse beginning his story Turning Hawk lad that a certain falsehood cnme to his auenor from Ihe Welt which had the effect of flro upon the Indians When the flro came upon our people he said thoso who had a certain farRlghtod nets aud could sec Into the mater made up their minds to stand up nd flghtlt The reason we took this hostile attitude to this fire waa because we believed that you yourself would not bo In for of this particu- lar ¬ mischiefmaking thing but just a we ex- pected ¬ tho people in authority did not like this thing and we were quietly told that we must give tip or have nothing to do with this certain movement Tbouch this was the ad vice from our good friends ot tho East there were of course maD ulllr mung men who wore longing to become Identified with tbe movement although they know that there 8 absolutely nothing bad nor did they know there was anything absolutely good In con nectlon with tha movement nnd In the course ot time we boar that tbe soldiers were mov- ing ¬ toward Ilne of the trouble Frightened at the approach ot tbe soldiers and hearing all manner ot rumors aa to what tho soldiers were going to do with them they ned Into tbe Bad Lands heir friends mid relatives I left behind at tbe oeancy became very anxious about them and sent parties to them to trr and Induce them to return Finally they succeeded When our people who had ben frightened away were returning to Pine and when they had almost reached the agency they were met by the soldiers and surrounded and Onrilly taken to the Wounded Knee Creek and there at a given time their guns were demanded and when they bad de ¬ livered them no tbe men wore separated from their families from their tepees and taken to a certain spot their guns having ben given up When tho gun were thus taken and the mon thus separated there wai a crazy man a young man of vory bad luiluenee and in fact I n i nobody amoug that bunch of luoiuns flied hl4 Run and of course the flrlngof a gun must have been tho breaking of a military rule of sumo sort lor Immediately the Holdlers re- turned the fire and tbe indiscriminate

ravlnu tor a long dletnnco they were pursued on both sides by the soldiers and shot down as tbe dead bodies tbnwed altorward- Tho Commissioner In this fight did tbe women take any part Turning Huwk They had no firearms to fight with Tho Commissioner The statement baa been made in the public press that tbe women fought with butcberknhen and this baa been given as a reason why tbe women wera shot Turning Hawk n hen tho men were separ- ated ¬ and wera buooned together at a given place of course only tbe men were there the woman were at a different plaoe entirely some distance off Tlie Commissioner Was it impossible for a soldier to tell tba difference between an Indian man and un IndUn woman Tbe statement bos been made In the public press tbat the soldiers shot thf women because they dressed In such a way that they could not tell tbey were women Turning Hawk I think a man would be very blind If be could not tell the difference between a man aud a woman 1 have told you that tbe women were standing off at a different place Irnm that whore the men wrre stationed and when tbe firing began those of the men who escaped tue Hrst onslaught went in one direc- tion ¬ up tho

statement and have It ready before I went on mr nnnual business trip over tbe country He banded mo the statement a few days ago and although tbe balances looked all right 1 found tbat one person was

conference was concluded todar and theIndians will tomorrow or Friday start forhome going by war ot Philadelphia and Catllile Tho feature of todays meeting was tbestory of tbe flcht nt Wounded Rneo which waa

toll by Turning Hawk and American Horsebeginning his story Turning Hawk ladthat a certain falsehood cnme to his auenor

from Ihe Welt which had the effect of flroupon the Indians

When the flro came upon our people hesaid thoso who had a certain farRlghtodnets aud could sec Into the mater made uptheir minds to stand up nd flghtltThe reason we took this hostile attitude tothis fire waa because we believed that youyourself would not bo In for of this particu-lar

¬

mischiefmaking thing but just awe ex-pected

¬

tho people in authority did not likethis thing and we were quietly told that wemust give tip or have nothing to do with thiscertain movement Tbouch this was the advice from our good friends ot tho East therewere of course maD ulllr mung men whowore longing to become Identified with tbemovement although they know that there 8absolutely nothing bad nor did they knowthere was anything absolutely good In connectlon with tha movement nnd In the courseot time we boar that tbe soldiers were mov-ing

¬

toward Ilne of the troubleFrightened at the approach ot tbe soldiers

and hearing all manner ot rumors aa to whattho soldiers were going to do with them theyned Into tbe Bad Lands heir friends midrelatives Ileft behind at tbe oeancy becamevery anxious about them and sent parties tothem to trr and Induce them to return Finallythey succeeded When our people who hadben frightened away were returning to Pine

and when they had almost reached theagency they were met by the soldiers andsurrounded and Onrilly taken to the WoundedKnee Creek and there at a given time theirguns were demanded and when they bad de ¬

livered them no tbe men wore separated fromtheir families from their tepees and taken toa certain spot their guns having ben givenup When tho gun were thus taken and themon thus separated there wai a crazy man ayoung man of vory bad luiluenee and in fact I

ni

nobody amoug that bunch of luoiuns fliedhl4 Run and of course the flrlngof a gunmust have been tho breaking of a military ruleof sumo sort lor Immediately the Holdlers re-turned the fire and tbe indiscriminate killinglolowdlommlsllonerDld this man Ore at tbe

Turning Hawk All the men who were In thebuucb nero killed right tbore and those whoescaped that first tiro got into tbe ravine andaa they wont along up tho ravlnu tor a longdletnnco they were pursued on both sides bythe soldiers and shot down as tbe dead bodiestbnwed altorward-

Tho Commissioner In this fight did tbewomen take any part

Turning Huwk They had no firearms tofight with

Tho Commissioner The statement baa beenmade in the public press that tbe womenfought with butcberknhen and this baa beengiven as a reason why tbe women wera shot

Turning Hawk n hen tho men were separ-ated

¬and wera buooned together at a given

place of course only tbe men were there thewoman were at a different plaoe entirely somedistance off

Tlie Commissioner Was it impossible for asoldier to tell tba difference between an Indianman and un IndUn woman Tbe statementbos been made In the public press tbat thesoldiers shot thf women because they dressedIn such a way that they could not tell tbey werewomen

Turning Hawk I think a man would be veryblind If be could not tell the difference betweena man aud a woman 1 have told you that tbewomen were standing off at a different placeIrnm that whore the men wrre stationed andwhen tbe firing began those of the men whoescaped tue Hrst onslaught went in one direc-tion

up tho rnvlno and then tbe women whowere bunched together at another Ilnco wententirelyIn a lUffcront dliectlon through an-opon field and tbe women fared tbe snme fatea tbe men who went up the deep ravine

The Commissioner to the lnten reterTellthese men tbat are present that I would like Ifba Turning Hawk makes any statementwhich they do not accept tbat thoy will conectit 1 vrnnt to cot at the truth
