WASHINGTON, Sept. 2t.-As The Indians with
the Buffalo Bill mbination are the Pawnees,
off their reservation without permission, the
Commissioner of indian Affairs, when his at
tention was drawn to the matter, ordered that
they should return Immediately to their re-
seryation. Mr.. Cody represented to the Com
missioner that If this order was carried into
effect it would cause considerable pecuniary
loss to him. as the combination was advertised
for appearance fifteen Or twenty days ahead
and assured the commissioner that the Indians
were well treated. Arrangements were finally
made by which Mr.. Cody entered into bond
of $4,000 to return the Indians after specified
time, within which it is agreed that the In
dians shall be kept sober and returned to thell
agency at his own expense.
