allowed would simply be q division

BUFFALO BILLS START.

Mere Accident Made the Well Known
Scout a Snowman.
An old Nebraskan was speaking Of
Buffalo Bill recently, and incidentally
he told how he came to engage in the
show business.
"Cody was for years government
scout on the western plains" said the
Nebraska man, land it was when he
conducted the buffalo exterminating ex-
pedition for the entertainment of the
Grand Duke Alexis in 1871 think it
was-that he got his name. Cody at
that time distinguished himself by the
number of buffaloes he killed, and there
by earned his cognomen, which was
given him by the duke. While he was
we'll known as a scout, he would prob
ably have never been widely known as
a Snowman except for an accident.
"It was in 1881 that the people of
North Platte, Neb., near which town
was Cody's ranch, decided to celebrate
the Fourth of July, and at the sugges-
tion of John Keith, who is a wealthy
ranchman at Sutherland and North
Platte and formerly claim adjuster of
the Union Pacific, they selected wild
west show. Cody was one of the men
most prominently interested in the
| scheme, and to him was left the work
of securing the cowboys and Indians to
help out the show In North Platte at
the time was an old stagecoach owned
by Jim Stephenson of Omaha, who was
the proprietor of the Deadwood- Sidney
and other western stage lines. At the
suggestion Of Cody the Indians were to
attack the coach and be repulsed by the
cowboys and soldiers.
"That Fourth was the hottest cele-
bration Of American independence ever
seen in Nebraska. The Omaha papers
had men to cover it, and it attracted q
crowd from all parts of the west. The
programme which Cody and Kieth ar
ranged included riding wild horses,
shooting, rope throwing and all the 9th.
er amusements and business proceedings

tainment, if such it may be called, that
Matt Kieth, no relation of John, but an
old time western man, told Cody that il
was big thing and ought to be repeat
ed every Fourth Of July. Cody at once
said that it was something new in
American entertainments, and he be-
lieved that by taking the aggregation
east he could make money. The matter
was discussed in North Platte, anG
finally Cody said that he would ad
vance the money and start out. He die
so, and his success is well known.
