General Miles to Visit "Buffalo Bill"

To-morrow General Miles and the entire
corps of West Point cadets will attend
Buffalo Bill's "Wild West," and will be
joined at the grounds by a large number of
regular army officers from Fort Sheridan
and a battalion of the famous Seventh Cavalry,
United States Army, as well as Capron's
Battery, both troops of which are
noted Indian fighters, the Seventh being
known as Custer's regiment, figuring prominently
and bravely both at the battle of the
Little Big Horn and at Wounded Knee.
