In answer to some questions I posed:
North Dakota was a state by then, so would the killer of the cavalryman be tried in a local court?
If a half-breed Indian killed a cavalryman in 1890, would he be tried in military court or civilian? If military, I need information on the procedure.

The killing did not occur in a military fort. However, the man was being pursued by the cavalry at the time because he had just broken out of the stockade at Fort Yates. The man was a civilian.
