Duluth, Nov. 89. Word ha reached
here of a shucking Indian murder that
took tdace on the Fund du Lac reserva
tion, 40 mile north of here. A Chip-
iwwa half-breed named John Anamsin,
left the reservation aeveral days ago
and went to the town of Cloquet. Late
Tuesdav he returned, erased with Ii-
a nor. and in fit of drunken rage at
tacked hia wifo who waa about to give
birth to child. He dragged the
wouian from her bed and threw her on
the floor, where be beat and kicked her
into atate of unconsciousness. The
brutal treatment caused premuture la
bor, and while actually receiving the
blows from her husband the woman
gave birth to the child.
Aliout the time Anamsin had fin
ished bis work another Indian named
Peterson hapeitod to be passing the
bonae, and hearing a noise he broke
into the room and attempted to protect
the prostrate woman. Anamain eeixed
a club and turned hia attention to Pet
erson, who made an effort to set out,
but before he could do to it ia aaid An
amsin knocked him down and literally
iKionded hia head into a pulp.
He then took the body and threw it
into a creek near by, and returning to
the house saturated the floor of the
room in which hia wife and child lay
with kerosene and applied the match.
Then, with the evident intention of
covering up the act, he closed and
locked the door and left the house.
A number of neighboring Indians by
this time became aware that something
waa wrong, and breaking into the
house got the wrtnan and child out, but
the reacuera barely escaped with their
lives. Both Mrs. Anamsin and the
rhild died half an hour later.
A squad of Indian police started
wfter Anamsin, and caught him about
daybreak on the Cloquet road. He
bowed considerable fight and in
formed the olice that they could not
have bim alive, theieuon one of the
police fired at him, inflicting a slight
wound. He was taken back to the res
ervation and locked up.
