OF life on the plains, and particularly
the pictures OF Sitting Bull. Rain-in-

Indian warfare OF recent years. The
picturesque beauties OF the Yellow

scenes, and the scarcely less rugged
features OF Indian chiefs and their
squaws made a pleasing panorama.
Now the ruins OF an old fort. and then

Mounted Indians and soldiery In bat

fields were passed before the eyes OF
