WILLIE WAS ARRESTED.
But He "Took a Fall Out o' Chimmy Just de Same."
When Willie Johnson, one of Mr. Daniels's most especially washed waifs, smelt powder and saw Col. Cody put to rout seventy or eighty redskins single handed he wanted to go and do likewise. He didn't care with whom or what he conducted an encounter, but he thought "Chimmy'" McGill would do as well as anybody. "We're de ell's Chimmy?" he inquired of a friend. "Chimmy's over on de good side 'mong de girls," said the other. "Hully gee! See me go spoil his hair cut," said Willie, and he went. Just in one of the intervals when Buffalo Bill's tame Sioux had retired to be revived from his prodigies of valor, the spectators were astonished to notice a little figure with a brand-new hair cut and a clean collar, worn as though its owner had suspicions of its propriety, make his way across the arena. He went straight to the spot where "Chim- my" McGill was conducting a miniature flirtation through the medium of a popcorn bag, said not a word, but biffed him between the eyes. Then he returned solemnly back across the arena to his seat. Retribution, however, came to him later when two of his enemies, "de cops," hauled the hero from his seat and locked him up in Woodlawn station.
