St. Paul daily globe., 1891-06-19
ODDS AND ENDS.

Hon. Henry c. Bull, of Cokato, was In ST.
Paul yesterday. He slipped cog or some
thing. for he came just one day late. His
side partner of the last house of representa-
tives, Hon. Joseph Roach, of Northfield, was
here the day previous Mr.. Bull seldom
comes to the metropolis, except to meet the
Rice county statesman, and he was panied
by disappointment on hearing that genial
Joe" had come and gone. He was half
tempted to extend his trip to Northfeld. There
will be reckoning when the two meet
again, for it is known that Mr.. Roach is in
an unhappy frame because of Mr.. Bulls
delay Of day in arriving. Mr.. Bull ex-
pressed himself as very confident Of a rous-
ing Democratic victory throughout the coun-
try, as well as in Minnesota, in 1892
Thomas Foley, the billiard man is spend
ing few days at his Chicago home. Yes
terday Chicagoan, who is quite a billiard
isl, by the way, was in st. Paul, and he
naturally called at Foley's billiard parlors to
meet the devotees of the game He was
somewhat disappointed at finding the pro-
prietor away, but he took occasion to regale
the party that he found in the place with an
anecdote
Last summer" said he, s'when the fishing
on Lake Michigan was in its halcyon glory,
Foley thought he would go out and catch
string of perch. He considered himself an
adapt and sailed forth with that confidence
with which Julius Caesar invaded England
He hired boatman, who rowed him to an
advantageous point in the lake. The boat
man stopped and said:
Throw out the anchor
"The anchor was in the Prov near where
Foley sat. He looked at it and then at the
boatman. Then he stopped and studied for
moment but he evidently realized that he
should do something-just what was the
problem. Finally he stared helplessly at the
boatman and asked in planitiye tone.
Where shall throw it.
ASK him about it when he comes back,
boys, and nothing is too good for you." So
saying the Chicagoan started for the Union
depot.
Gen. Chauncev McKeeyer and wife are at
the Ryan The general is adjutant general
on Gen. Miles staff, and he is in the city, he
explains, for the purpose of making certain
arrangements connected with the admins
tratlon OF the affairs of the department of
Dakota, the details of which he thought
proper to withhold for the time being. He
proiessed to know nothing concerning who
Will Prove the fortunate successor to Gen.
Ruger aud he did not care to make any
prophecies for publication. He also said he
really knew nothing authentic relative to the
reported probable change in army circles
whereby the Chicago headquarters will be
transferred to st. Paul. The general ex-
pressed himself as delighted with St Paul,
and he spent portion of yesterday in look
ing over the city.
Sitting Bulls horse is in st. Paul. 1t ar
rived last evening from Montana, was taken
in charge by George Allen and
placed in the barn at the corner
OF Fifth and Cedar Streets The horse
was purchased by DIR. Frank Powell
(White Beaver. the friend of Buffalo Bill,
and will be shipped to the latter in Europe
to be exhibited with his Wild West show.
The horse is a speckled gray about fourteen
hands high, is a good sample of the plains
horsefesh. but by no means a fine-looking
animal, such as indicates a thoroughbred.
His head is shapely, out his limbs and body
are rather ill-favored The tail has been
clipped in a rude fashion by persons who
evidently wanted a lock as a memento.
