He is 71 years old now, but hearty and vigorous and full of enthusiasm on the subject of the rare collection of fossils, relics, and curiosities which he has brought with him for exhibition as a part of Col. Cody's wild west show.

When at last the warriors left the Illinois Central train and entered the domains of Buffalo Bill a group of Arabs rushed forward to meet them. The denizens of the far eastern desert and the prairies of the great northwest shook hands, while Col. Cody stood by and witnessed this triumphs of his ambition with a face beaming with pleasure. But the braves made only a short stop for ceremonies and quickly ranged themselves about the long tables in the barracks, where roast beef and coffee disappeared in startling quantities.

Probably no feature of the world's fair will attract more universal interest than this band of fighting Sioux fresh from the hostile fields of Wounded Knee and Pine Ridge.

Young Jack Red Cloud, Rocky Bear, Standing Bear, White Cloud and No-Neck were the chiefs who stalked up to Col. Coyd, Nate Salsbury and Maj. Burke and shook hands with them. All are influential men among the Indians and are fine-looking specimens of the red-skins.
