"COMANOaE."
Tho Only Survivor Of the Custer
Ma9saoro-Buffalo Bill
Wants TO H5tar''
Him.

AN excnA0go says that Buffalo Bill
(William r. Cody whilom scout and
a: present the star In ''blood and
thunder" drama, has applied for per-
mission to take the b 'rse Comanche,
the sole survivor of the Custer mas
sacre, and use him in connection
with his theatrical performances
through the country. Cody promises
to give the horse the best Of fare, and
to pay whatever isju,t and proper for
the use Of the animal. He will also
enter into good and sufficient bonds
for his safe return or indemnify the
government In case of loss. He urges
that his application be granted, chief
" for the reason that it will arouse
public attention aud serve to keep
alive the memory of the gallant deeds
Of tho heroes Of the regiment.
It is hardly necessary to state that
Buffalo Bills request will not be
granted-if for no other reason, be-
cause there is no power to permit pub
lie property to be used in this way for
strictly private purposes.
Comanohe originally belonged to
Company I'fKeoyh's) which is now
stationed at Fort Totten, under COM
mand of Captain Nowlan. but In 1873
Colonel Sturgis issued an order
transferring the horse to the custody
Of the adjutant of the regiment and
directing that he never again be rid
den by anyone. The order also pro-
vided that he be properly caparisoned
and led in front of the colors vt every
parade Of the regiment.
In color Comanche is dark dun,
and although over twenty years old,
he is in excellent condition and frisky
as colt. He receives the best of
treatment, and the day when the old
horse no longer marches In review
will be q sad day for many of the
men.
Possibly the man of facts and the
cynic will smile or sneer at this as
but what chapter of war,
what vision Of gallant endeavor
and heroic death there would be If
could reveal what he saw
and heard on that disastrous day on
the Little Big Horn.
Not a little romance attaches to the
history Of this old horse. Comanche
was the favorite beast of Captain
Keogh, and was ridden by him In
the fight on the Little Big Horn in
1875. To be sure, Curley, the Crow
scout, is thought by many to have
from that bloody fight, Tut
there are grave doubts among the
officers of the Seventh whether he
Was actually Ia the fight, and IL Is
believed he witnessed 1t from safe
hiding place.
Comanche was found shortly after
the battle standing in the waters of
the river. H. had seven wounds,
three of them quite dangerous ones.
and had p .iutully m .do his way to
the river tn slack his thirst and allay

Helena seems to be in earnest
about building railroad from that
city to Benton. Estimates Of cost
have been made by a competent en-
gineer and his figures submitted to
the committee having the enterprise
in charge. His estimate places the
total cost at 81 .OO2 500. A branch of
the road running up to Marysville,
which is built at the Drum Lummon
mine, can be built, according to the
engineers estimate, for $50, 900. The
citizens Of the Capital have held
meeting to consider the proposition
of building the road. It is thought
capital sufficient to complete it may
be raised In the city. If Helena de-
cides upon building the road it will
be built. The Capital City never
