BUFFALO BILLS START.
rIere Accident Made the Well Known
Scout Snowman.
C. j, GRAY
Sinner

An old Nebraskan was speaking
of Buffalo Bill recently and Incl
dentally he told how he came to
engage in the show business.
Cody was for years a govern
ment scout on the Western plains"
said the Nebraska man, "and it
was when he conducted the buffalo
exterminating expedition for the
entertainment of the Grand Duke
Alexis in 1S70-I think it was
that he got his name. Cody at
that time distinguished himself by
the nun Der of, buffaloes he killed.
and thereby earned his cognomen,
which was given him by the Duke.
While he was we'll known as a
scout he would probably have
never been widely known as
Snowman except for an accident.
ut 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 suggestion of John Keith,
who is u wealthy ranchman at
Sutherland and North Platte and
formerly claim adjuster of the
Union Pacific, they selected a wild
west show. Cody was one of the
men most prominently interested
in the scheme, and to him was left
the work CT securing the cowboys
and Indians to help out the show.
In North Platte at that time was

mound builders, but this latter
proposition was recently disproven
by DR.. G. A. Seel and a party of
other gentlemen who visited the
Blind Oso and made an examina-
ton of the CHASTITY relics. DR..
Seel says he found the skeletons of
about forty humans-m9n, women
and children. That the bones had
not lain there long enough to have
belonged to the mound builders,
and every indication pointed to
the fact that they were the remains
of Caucasians. Further investiga-
ton will soon be made, and. per-
haps, after all, the ghastly mystery
of the Blind Oso will be cleared up.
