Duluth, Nov. 29.—Word has reached here of u shocking Indian murder that took place on the Fond du Lac reserva tion, 40 miles north of here. A Chip pewa half-breed named John Anamsin, left the reservation several days ago and went to the town of Cloquet. Late Tuesday he returned, crazed with li quor, and in a fit of drunken rage at tacked his wife who was about to give birth to a child. Ho dragged the woman from her bed and threw her on the floor, where he beat and kioked hoc into a state of unconsciousness, 'lhe brutal treatment caused premature la bor, and while actually receiving the blows from her husband the woman gave birth to the child. About the time Anamsin had fin ished hie work another Indian named Peterson happened to be passing tiie house, and hearing a noise he broke into the room and attempted to protect tiie prostrate woman. Anamsin seized a club and turned his attention to Pet erson, who made an effort to get out, but before he could do so it is said Ail- amsin knocked him down and literally pounded his head into a pulp. lie then took the body and throw it into a creek near by, and returning to tiie house saturated the floor of the room in which his wife and child lay with kerosene and applied the match. Then, with the evident intention of covering up the act, ho closed and locked the door and left tiie house. A number of neighboring Indians by this time became aware that something was wrong, and breaking into tho house got the woman and child out, but the rescuers barely escaped with their lives. Both Mrs. Anamsin and tiie child died half an hour later. A squad of Indian police started after Anamsin, and caught him about daybreak on the Cloquet road. He showed considerable fight and in formed the police that they could not have him alive, thereupon one of the police tired at him, inflicting a slight wound. He was taken back to tho res ervation and locked up. SAYS DURRANT IS INNOCENT. APPALLING DISASTER. T o r n a d o iu t h e P h i l i p p i n e « S w e p t Th «anda to D eath .
