They Roughly Handle Two Minnesota Deputy Sheriffs.
DULUTH, May 31.—Word has just reached here that the two deputy sheriffs who went ten days ago to a Deer Lake Indian camp, in Itasca county, to arrest an Indian named Cut Face for the murder of a squaw man, Joe Bonville. Arriving there they learned that he had left, and they followed him to Net Lake camp. Enticing him to their canoe they bound him and started off.
The alarm was given and sixteen bucks gave chase, soon overtaking them. After a fight in which both sheriffs were badly handled, but not seriously injured, Cut Face was released and both white men captured. Through the intercession of an Indian who speaks English the sheriffs were released, but told that they would not be allowed to take any Indian for killing a white man.
