Indian Recluse John Stink Dies After Long Hatred of Whites
PAWHUSKA Oklahoma AP John Stink an 80 year old Osage recluse famed for his hatred of white people died at his home Friday night. For more than 30 years he lived on a Pawhuska hill nursing a grudge after a dogs killing incident. He was seen smoking a black cigar and guarding his premises with a large knife. In his younger days he sat at the Pawhuska general store steps with many dogs around him. The marshal shot some of the dogs after complaints from the store owner and townspeople. Stink then withdrew from white society vowing to avoid whites. In later years Osage friends said he showed less contempt but remained mostly aloof.
