I met and talked with the Indian (Red Tomahawk) who killed him. Red Tomahawk was at the Custer celebration last June on the Custer battlefield. I took his photo, but it did not come out very good. I met about 20 of the old Sioux who were in the Custer fight, and took a photo of the whole bunch."Item "That clipping you sent--I have had several sent to me from various sections--the same clipping and same man."(1930-01-28) Brininstool, E.
