Crow Dog, a leader on Rosebud Reservation, show and killed Spotted Tail in 1881 resulting in tribal council trial in which representatives ordered restitution of horses, money and blanket to Spotted Tails Family, the case closed quickly. Agents of the Government felt the case was handled with to much leniency and had Crow Dog arrested and brought to Deadwood to stand trial. He was appointed an attorney, A. Plowman, with Gideon Moody the presiding judge who believed federal law had jurisdiction over Indians on tribal land. Judge Moody found Crow Dog guilty and on March 25 1882 sentenced him to hang, based on appeal which Plowman filed immediately with the U.S. Supreme Court which overturned the decision by Judge Moody and Crow Dog was set free. This case leading to a milestone with Congress passing " Major Crimes Act of 1885" which gave federal government authority over Indians for felony crimes. This law is still in effect today. The Remington shows silver gray patina, functioning action, faint barrel address, square brass tacked grips in typical Indian fashion, shanks cut off flush on back sides, stamped "Spotted Tail" 1 /16" tall letters, the date "1874" letter 3 /32".
