DIR. CARvER,s BRAVES.
On Then Wav from Australia 10 Pin,
Ridge Agency.


A car load of Ogalalla Sioux were the
center of attraction at the depot Yesterday.
They were part of DR.. Carver's Wild
West show band, and are on their way to
Pine Ridge agency after a tour around
the world.
He Crow, the big chief, heads the list,
and is accompanied by the following In
dams with their wonderful names: Black
Bear, Eagle Elk, Black Elk, Scare-the-
Bear. Brave Heart, Shields. Waterman,
Picks Arrow, Bear Necklace, Kills His
Enemy. Brave Elk, Plenty Birds. White
Wolf. with Mrs. Black Bear and Black
Bear, Jr. Mrs. Black Bear is the only
squaw in the party.
Black Bear, Jr., is a lively and intelli-
gent Youngster, about 2 years old, as pert
and saucy as any bow. He Is liable to be
rather mixed in future years as to his ma
tiopality, as he was born under the Brit
ish flag. while the ship was making the
passage in rough water around Cape
Horn.
DIR. Carver's show left the United
States about three Ye ars ago and the
Indians have made a complete tour of
northern Europe and Australia. The
In lians are a good looking lot of fellows,
well dressed in citizens clothing and if it
were not for their dark complexion and
long hair they could pass easily for COW
punchers in town and dressed up.
He Crow desires to shine as a fighter
and when he arrived at San Francisco a
reporter told him of the outbreak at Pine
Ridge. His eyes snapped at the news
and he told a companion that he wished
be had been there. The show received
the news of the outbreak while in Aus
tralia but did not tell the Indians Tor fear
they might become restless. The show
created a furore in Australia as it was
something entirely new to the dwellers in
the Antipodes.
These Indians are en- route home as
the contract DR.. Carver had with the
United States government required that
the Indians should be returned to the
agency at a date that is close at hand.
DIR. Carver, with a portion of the show,
remains in Australia and will not return
for about a month as he has arranged for
a shooting match with a local shot named
Clark.
The party Is under the charge OF a half
breed named Billy Garrett. who is a
cousin of Gibson Clark Of this city. Gar
nett is a very intelligent fellow, with a
wonderful memory. About seventeen
years ago he knew Dave Creath, hack
driver, when the latter was driving stage
on the Chugwater. When Garnet
reached town today he met Gibson Clark
and knew him at once, and also knew
Dave Creath. although he had not seen
either of them for years. He had also at
one time known H. B. Kelley, and made
him a call after reaching the city. Bar
ney kempton, a noted sure-shot and
broncho buster, Is also q member of the
party. Billy Tegeler alias Billy the Kid
who has been doing a riding act and some
shooting with the show, also accompanies
the party.
DIR. Carver's show met Buffalo Bills
ontft at Hamburg, Germany, and both
gave exhibitions on grounds not forty feet
from each other. Buck Taylor, a Wyo-
ming cowboy who lately purchased a ranch
on the Sweetwater, was with Buffalo Bill
at the time the two shows met. Billy
the Kid" says that Taylor was the only
smart one OF the outfit and he worked the
rest OF the gang to perfection. He
started up a faro bank for the show peo-
pie and did the Indians. the cowboys, and
every once in a while would catch a
big bundle of Buffalo Bills money. At
time he had a mortgage on the stock
of the show for money advanced to Buffalo
Bill at divers times, and when it was paid
off lie had money enough to come to
Wyoming and buy a ranch.
Frank Sparhawk made the Indians a
call and conversed with them in Indian like
native. The party leaves this morning over
the Cheyenne Il Northern for the agency.
