THE NOBLE RED MAN AS A SUICIDE.

The singular attempt of the Indian
convicts Horse Driver and Little Wolf to
commit suicide at Omaha on the 20th
inst., has already been announced by
telegraph. The Omaha Republican
gives the following description of this
attempt: "After dinner, Horse Driver
and Little Wolf secured a stick apiece
and proceeded to put an end to them-
selves as follows: Little Wolf fell into
possession of the shortest stick, a round
rod of hard wood, about six inches in
length, sharpened somewhat at one end.
This he drove, by the exertion of much
force, by pressing against the wall,
about an inch and a quarter into his
chest, between the ribs. It took a good
jerk on the part of Jailor Reese to pull
the implement of destruction from the
place where it was imbedded. Horse
Driver, whose stick was about a foot and
a half in length, thrust it down his
throat until not a sign of it was to be
seen. The two, however, after they had
thus "sticked" themselves, could not re-
frain from natural groanings, and so
their games were discovered. Several
doctors were sent for, one of whom pull-
ed the stick from the stomach of Horse
Driver. It is evident that both men
have given themselves bad wounds, but
it is not thought either will produce
death.
