Murder of an Indian--The Clark County, Wis. Advocate gives the details of the
deliberate murder of a Chippewa Indian last week by a man named Pettengill, a
trader. The Indians were much exasperated and demanded the surrender of
Pettengill, but were finally quieted with the assurance that he should be
brought to justice.
