confronted at Fort Sill, in south-central Indian Territory,

with corn on May 15th on the Butterfield trail, Satanta said
he was the leader of the raid. Satanta tells the agent that
Santak, Big Tree, and others were with him. General Sherman
places the 3 Indians under arrest and handcuffed. While being
transported back to Fort Richardson in north-central Texas,
Satank manages to work free from his handcuffs. He then attacks
a guard with a hidden knife. Satank grabs a rifle from another
guard, but he is shot and killed by the remaining soldiers.
His body will be thrown in a ditch, and the group will continue
