Sheriff MCGEE returned Tuesday from a
trip to Winona. He reports that last
Monday morning q woman who an
nounced that she had come all the way
from New York to marry Sitting Bull
crossed over to the agency. She said that
she had seen S. B. when he was east, and
that she had determined to have him for a
husband. She had little boy about. 8 or
10 years old with her, and the sheriff says
she was apparently 80 years Of age and
not bad looking. .As:the Indian already
has tive red wives. and the agent at
Standing Rock, Major Mclaughlin, be-
lieves that, although Of 4 bad record, Sit
ting Bull should not be inhumanly pun
ished, he refused to allow the lady with the
Naturalization to visit the aboriginee
camp. Sitting Bull came UP to see her,
however, and escorted her back to the
ferryboat. The old man was as polite as
could be, helped her out OF the wagon.
and, through an interpreter, asked her to
send him her picture when she got back
to New York. 1t is strange infatuation,
for the notorious coffee. cooler, besides
being aged, never was an Apollo Belvi-
dere. 1t 10 said that, as the fair tender
foot can't have Sitting Bull, the Winona
people will seek to have her take one of
the Times editors. who advertised for a
wife some time ago.
