The body of 43 year old
Robert Bulltail, a Crow Indian,
was discovered February 2 at
the Warm Springs Roads
D epartm ent storage area,
according to Mark Werner,
Bureau of Indian Affairs
investigator.
The body was discovered by
an employee of the B1A Roads

missionaries in an area used for
storing gravel and equipment.
The area is located just below
the roads shop near Shitike
Creek.
An autopsy was performed
by Oregon State Medical
Exam iner pathologist Dr.
Larry Lewman. Further testing
is underway to determine the

according to Werner.
According to Bob Mannix,
investigator for the Federal
Clean, Clear, Cold
Bureau of Investigation, the
man had been dead for at least
30 days and due to the
condition of the body it is hard
to determine the cause of death.
“There are indications of foul
play, but I won’t rule out
accidental d e a th .” added
Mannix. The investigation will
continue as a homicide until it
can be ruled as otherwise,
Mannix stated.
The FBI and B1A investiga
tors ask if anyone has any
information about the where
a b o u ts of B u llta il a fte r
December 3, that they contact
FBI agent Bob Mannix at 389-

Werner at 553-1121, ext. 414. A
continuing investigation of
B ulltail’s death is being
conducted cooperatively by
the Warm Springs Police
derpartment, FBI and B1A.
Rattlesnake Springs still offers clean, clear, cold spring water year 'round but especially on cold
winter days.

Simnasho School burglarized
The Simnasho Elementary
school was broken into and
various items were taken,
according to Simnasho teacher
Rich Little.
It was noticed on Monday
m o r n in g f o llo w in g th e
weekend of February 6 that
certain items were missing from
the school. Little commented,
“We couldn’t see where they
got in.”
The items that were taken
indicate that the thief was
probably a young person. So
far, students and teacher have
found the missing items to
include: over 300 pencils, 5
chokers made by students, a
case of pop, a flute and a half-
eaten can of pineapple.
Whoever it was that broke in
could have been badlv injured
or killed, mentioned Little as
how a conduit had broken,
apparently where the burglar
was hanging on trying to gain
entry through a window. If the
wires had been severed, high
voltage could have caused
serious injury.
The break-i n was investi
gated by patrolman Chris Still.
He was u n a v a ila b le for
comment at press time.
