This was a genteel mode of dying, which cannot, with truth, be attributed to him.
He always deplored the habit of drinking, to which the Indians are so much addicted.

In his latter years, however, he could not withstand the temptation; and, on one occasion, being exceedingly drunk, he was put into an ox-cart, and being rather restive, was thrown out, and the cart wheel went over him.
Thus died Hole-in-the-Day-one of the most noted Indians of the present day; and his eldest son reigns in his stead.
