In 1873 the water from the lot drained
across the avenue, but in raising the grade

point no provision was made for drainage,
since which time the water flows back,

BUFFALO BILL WAS HILARIOUS.
Started to Arrest Sitting Bull in silk
Hat and Kid Gloves.
From the PHILADELPHIA Press.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1l.-When the federal
officials at Washington gave Buffalo Bill
permission to go out to Sitting Bulls camp
ani arrest the old medicine man, they based
their faith in the ex>plansman's accomplish.
ing his ARA ID on his previous successes in
dealing with obstinate Indians. But before
Buffalo Bill got fairly started on his mission
he became hilariously and playfully
inebriated. When he reached Standing
Rock Agency, which is only short dis
tance from Sitting Bulls camp, he had
grown SO eccentric that he started after the
big chief in a tall silk hat, patent leather
shoes, cutaway coat, and kid gloves The
weather was cold, but Bill did not mind the
blast.

escort of heavily-armed soldiers, the old
government scout rode at the head Of the

that Buffalo Bill had started after Sitting
