There was quaint party In the

1t included Maj. j. M. Burke, better
known as Arizona John; Congressman
Geary, of California; Congressman Nc
.Adoo, of New Jersey, and Baptiste
Purier, better known to army officers
rs Big Bat, an old scout of Gems. Crook,
Miles and Terry. He is here with tho
Sioux Indian delegation. Stories of ex-
Congressman John Finerty, of Chicago,
were in order. While Fincrty was q
member of the house of representatives
he paid great attention to Irish matters.
he never missed an opportunity of
twisting the tail of the British lion or
iof expectorating tobacco juice into his
!eyes. He had an ardent sympathizer in
iRichelieu Robinson, who then repre-
scented Brooklyn district. McAdoo
says Robinson was coming into the
house one day when he met Finerty
who was going out
whats being dono in tho house?"
Robinson inquired.
"Oh, nothing but some damned Amer
lean legislation" was Finerty's re-
Spouse.
VI course there was roar of laughter.
To the establishment of everybody, Big
Bat began to tell story about Fincrty.
1t was told in the dialect peculiar to tho
Canadian French trnppcrs and excited
great merrimcnt. The story is known
in the northwest as Lieut.. Sib-
ley's close call" 1t was about the time
of the Custer massacre. The command
was near Tongue river. Lieut.. Siblcy
was detailed to go to the Crow nation
and bring back some Crows as scouts.
Siblcy's party numbered thirty picked
men. Among them were Big Bat, Frank
Gruard, chief of scouts, and Mr.. Finer
ty. Finerty was accompanying the COL
umD ms u newspaper correspondent.
Up to that time he had been looking for
