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.
