Tomahawk was credited later with t having killed Sitting Bull during the battle and many North Dakota au- | the thorities on Indian history have con-/e8d ceded his claim.

He was hon- ored several years ago by the North Dakota legislature and has made two trips to Washington, where he was entertained by high officials. Red Tomahawk was a Dakota or Sioux, belonging to the division of the Tintonwanna and a member of the Hunkpapa-Blackfoot tribe of the federated Sioux, according to Lieut. A. B. Welch, Mandan, who has com- piled a review of the Indian's life. Al- though often called chief, Tomahawk did not really bear such a title. Death was caused from infirmities of old age. For the past several years he had been in failing health. Funeral services will be conducted et Cannon Ball Sunday. The body will then be brought te Bismarck for ® public funeral, arrangements for which will be completed Saturday. ; Rites will be of the Christian church which religion the famous Indian po- liceman embraced in 1883.
