NESBIT ( or Po-ga-has-ka), and the noted BOY CHIEF OF
THE PAWNEES, MASTER WILLIE BURGESS (or Was-each-asulla
the Lone White Boy).
The latter, Master Willie Burgess, or Was-each-asulla
(as he is familiarly known on the Frontier), is younger than
any other Chief of whom there is any knowledge of record
among the entire different Indian nations. Though but
a lad of sixteen Summer, he speaks fluently the language,
or patois, of nearly every Western Tribe; and for
his intrepid daring in battle, skillful scouting, and unferring
markmanship he received, at the early age of
fourteen years, the greatest distinction that is bestowed
upon an Indian Warrior–that of being made a Chief; and
he is universally known west of the Missouri River as the
BOY CHIEF OF THE PAWNEES. The Indians and Interpreters
will be mounted on their own Mexican Bronchos,
or Indian ponies, and appear in their native and
varied costumes peculiar to the different tribes.

and Extraordinary Life.
At each entertainment MR. CODY will give an exhibition
of his Wonderful Glass-ball Shooting and fancy shots with

and unrivaled. The Indians will also break glass
balls thrown in the air, using their bows and arrows.
