Indian Killed on Reservation

 

Word was received here Tuesday, of the murdering of Louie Moss, an aged Indian on the South Branch of the Oconto River. The deed is supposed to have been done Monday by three young Indians, who were under the influence of liquor. We were unable to learn the any particulars, but suppose the Indians will be tried in the United States court, being under the jurisdiction of the United States. The murdering of Indians on the reservation seems to be of common occurrence, some one getting killed or pounded nearly to death, nearly every month by drunken Indians. It seems that some steps ought to be taken to stop the Indians from getting full, but we don't know what is to be done.

 

 

 

 

We know he served but were unable to find him in the roster's. He may have assumed another surname of which we know not. Several of the Menominee's that served were not found for this reason, so we have posted what we know about them.
