SLAYER OF TOM CUSTER.

RAIN-IN-THE-FACE COMES TO TOWN.

The Wily Sioux Who Displayed Reckless Bravery in the Slaughter of the Seventh at the Little Big Horn Will See the Fair.

Leaning upon two crutches, with the whirling snow pelting his long black hair and the eagle feathers he had worn in the scalp-lock ever since he left the Missouri, was a sturdy old Sioux warrior in Buffalo Bill's Indian village in Sixty-third street yesterday afternoon. There was nothing in the appearance of the crippled Indian to indicate that he was more than one of the commonest of coffee coolers-a set of beggars always to be found about the post traders' stores

Sitting Bull's cabin on Grand river, before whose door the old savage gave up his life at the beginning of the last war with the Sioux, was placed in position at the Sixty-third street grounds yesterday. It is built of oak and cottonwood logs, with a sod roof. The door has been perforated in three place by bullets, and two holes in the floor show where deadly missiles entered after they had passed through the bodied of Bull's sons.
