FOUND DEAD

Dunlap, a son-in-law of White Eagle, Chief of the Ponca Indians, was found dead four miles east of the Agency near the bridge, crossing the Arkansas River, early this morning by Lennie Sears, a mutual friend. Dunlap had been missed from his home for six days and Sears has been constantly searching for him.
White Eagle came to town at noon to ask his friend, Dick Plunket, what the white men would do about the matter. The Ponca reservation being embraced in Noble County’s judicial district, the coroner at Perry has been notified and will come up on the evening train to view the remains. He will be met by almost the entire tribe of Indians. The Indians in the meantime have not touched the body, consequently the cause of death is not known. – Ponca Courier.
