Sitting Bull at a Theatre.

Fifteen years ago times were lively
in Dakota" and Fargo was boom.
ing town of $4,000 people. Half
dozen theatrical enterprises were in
full blast, and seventh manager
opened new house, the magnificence
of which far outshone those of its com.
petitors. The theatre was to be opened
on Monday evening, and that morning
the train from the West brought the
great Sioux chief, Sitting Bull, with
small party of Indians who were en-
route to Washington to see the great
Father. The new management secured
the attendance of the warriors for the
opening of his house, and the hundreds
of "tenderfeet" who had never yet seen
real Indian in war paint paid fabu-
lous prices for seats.
Sitting Bull and his warriors were on
hand early. gaudily arrayed in feath-
ers, headdress, beaded blankets and
wampum. They were seated in the
centre aisle in the space between the
orchestra railing and front row of par.
quet. The red men preserved their
monumental stoicism, and throughout
the entertainment not n smile wrinkled
their faces. Each one of them carried
n short painted stick, one end of which
was split
Into the split was thrust q small
piece of looking-glass. Occasionally
the Indians held the mirrors up before
their eyes and took careful survey of
the audience behind them. This en-
abled them to see what was going on
all over the house without shifting
their position. The closing feature of
the programme was an act performed
by n female trapeze performer who
was advertized to possess wonderful
strength in her jaws.
The stage manager announced that
che would hang suspended from the
trapeze bar by her knees aud support
n heavy cannon with her teeth while it
was discharged. At sight of the can.
non Sitting Bull and his men began to
show signs OF uneasiness. They shifted
about in their seats nervously. Two
men lifted the cannon and left it dang
ling from the woman's jaws. The
muzzle of the weapon swung on a level
with the Indians headdress.
Sitting Bull and his warriors by this
time had become extremely nervous.
They looked at each other inquiringly,
as if they suspected that they had been
drawn into trap and were to be delib-
erately slaughtered. They jabbered to
each other excitedly and two or three
times SO far forgot their stoicism Ms to
look over their shoulders. Finally,
everything was in readiness; the stage
manager stepped back. gave the string
that he held jerk, there was tiash
and roar, and out of the cloud of
smoke that shot into the parquet Sit
ting Bull and his warriors sprang.
wildly shouting as they made their way
down the aisle, striking madly right
and left with the long-stemmed stone
pipes which they carried. No attempt
was made by the audience to stop the
Indians, who made their way outside
and didn't stop running until they
reached the hotel. For once the fear
less chief of the Sioux WAS unneryed.-
