Sitting Bull's Death

He called him & squaw, and that epithet to an Indian brave is the cap sheaf of all that is derisive. The old man weakened under the" boy's taunts, and the Indian pólice did the rest. Sitting Buil was all that his admirers claimed for him. When he feil, the boy who had taunted him crawled under the bunk where the old man had slept. He was there when Shavehead, an Indian from the agency, came in. He heard the story. He liked Sitting Buil, and when he was told that the boy had taunted his father and was the cause of his death Shavehead said the boy deserved death, and he was dragged out from under the bed and killed.
