Crazy Horse was killed
The Oglala Lakota chief Crazy Horse was killed at Fort Robinson in Nebraska.
The circumstances surrounding the killing are still disputed. The officer on duty is said to have told the guards the evening before the killing that he did not want to see Crazy Horse alive the next morning. He was then stabbed and killed that same night after a provoked escape attempt.

From time to time you stumble across things you can\'t manage without. One of my things is Jeff Tanners powder dispenser. It\'s simple, cheap, and best of all: it\'s incredibly time-saving. I\'ve used mine for a couple of years now, and my old Lyman No. 55 is used less and less.

About svartkrutt.net
About
Svartkrutt.net is owned and maintained me whose name is Øyvind Flatnes. I'm a Norwegian black powder shooter and I started this web site in February 2000. The ambition was to provide Norwegians with a black powder site in our native language, but since then most of the content is also translated to English. I'm also the author of a black powder book, which was published in March 2005. This book is currently available in Norwegian only.
On svartkrutt.net you can read my articles about various black powder related activities, participate on the international discussion board, chat or find interesting black powder or antique firearms on the market pages. The discussion forum has become a valuable archive of interesting articles. Sign up and participate!
