STORY Of BUFFALO BILL
His Sister Writes a Biography of
the Famous Scout.
INDIAN SLAYERAT 11YEARS
Captures a Road Agent Who Would
Have Robbed Him Discovers Band
OF Redskins and His Mule Gets
Honorable Mention"

Years ago, when men of middle age
to-day We're eager schoolboys with a
strong desire concealed about them to
fight Indians, Med Buntline," then a
writer of lurid, mclodramatic, blood
curdling stories, made the reputation
of William F. Cody and William Hick-
ok. respectively known to fame as
Buffalo Bill and wild Bill" Both
of these men performed notable SER
vices on the great plains in the pas
time of staying all the rampant buffa-
loes and in the more serious duties of
rendering the wild west tame. Both
in course of time attracted the title of
colonel by that easy method of progress
sion from the grade Of enlisted men TO
the eagle without other warrant than
the good wishes of the people, so dis
tinctively American. Their careers in
this particular reminds one of the say
ing of Max O'Ren that America has
60,O00,O00 inhabitants, mostly colonies"
But they did work as valuable as that
of any colonel at that.
Buntline's yarns, the stories which
from time to time have appeared in
print. and the press notices have never
told the story of the life of either in
consecutive form. HiCkok has long
since passed over the great divide, but
Cody is still with the show. In order,
therefore, that the world, and America
in particular, might have fair idea
of the career of the famous scout, last
survivor in the band which served I'M
der Sheridan in the post-bellum from
tier troubles, a sister Of Buffalo Bill
has written an authentic biography.
Helen Wetmore Cody in a volume call
ed The Last of the Great Scouts has
given to the world true story. simply
told, of the career of her daring brother.
The narrative would prove interest
ing with a less interesting subject. 1t
is told in simple language, which at
times rises to distinct merit. This is
particularly true in the descriptive
pages wherein the author displays ar
intimate knowledge of frontier condi-
tions with considerable facility in poi-
traying them. The early chapters
cover the birth, the family relations,
the removal from Iowa to Kansas ana
the border troubles before the outbreak
of the civil war. A number If youthful
adventures are recorded, showing the
early aptitude of the youth for firearms
and horses. The shooting of a savage
panther when but 10 years of age, to
defend the lives of .he author and a
still younger sister is one Of these eX'
nc its.
Cody, unlike many boy of his time
he is still a comparatively young man,
being in his SD year-had the chance
to fight Indians at a very early age.
AS all the romance surrounding his
career is connected with scouting pony
expressing, stage driving buffalo hunt
ing and Indian fighting, the early in

tional interest. His first scalp was won

writer's style. The natural exultation
in the success and prowess of a favorite
brother, the sole survivor of three, is
discreetly modified throughout. But the
book is mine of such stories, many
of which see the light of publicity for

He PAID THE FIDDLER
n Idaho Man Fell In With
Grafters.
HIS FLEECE WAS SHORN
He Thinks Lizzie Briggs Is Responsible
for the Loss of His Diamonds
and Cash-He Could Prove
Nothing.

1t cost c. Tomasi, a saloon keeper at
Soda Springs. Idaho, 1925 in diamonds
and about $50 in cash to come to Butte
to see the sights, according to that
gentleman's statement to the police
yesterday. Tomasi called at police
headquarters to complain of having
been robbed by bad lands grafters. He
was not exactly certain who was re-
sponsible for his loss, but he knew
he was out, and as he had spent con-
siderable time in the company of
French woman named Lizzie Briggs,
he thought she was the guilty party.
Tomasi told the police that he came
to Butte several days ago to purchase
supplies He took a room at the Cop
per King block, corner of Wyoming
and Galena streets. Having nothing to
do Wednesday evening, he started out
to see what could be seen. He came
across the Briggs woman in Galena
street, and finding she knew several
friends Of his, he stepped into her
place to have visit. They had sew
eral drinks, and he visited for some
time. They went to a nearby saloon
and had drink or two more, and once
while ne was paying the woman play
fully grabbed his change, but the bar
tender made her give it back After
time they went back to the wo-
mans place and there ordered more
drinks.
Finally he became unconscious, but
recovered after a while and went to
his room. He was still very much stu
pefied, and Immediately went to sleep.
When he awoke yesterday morning he
found that he had been robbed. All
the money he had in his purse, about
$780, together with two diamond rings,
worth $3.50, diamond pin worth SIS
and a So gold piece, very rare coin,
were gone. Tomasi said he would take
his medicine if it had all been money
he lost, but the jewelry had been given
him and he desired to escape the I'M
pleasant explanations he would have
to make when he got home to his
wife If he could by recovering the
jewelry
Officers searched the womans house,
but found nothing, and as Tomasi said
he would remain to prosecute, the
Briggs woman was arrested. To get
the matter over as soon as possible
and allow Tomasi to get away, the
case was set for hearing in the after
noon in police court At that time
Tomasi consulted with the prosecut-
ing officer and came to the conclusion
that he could prove nothing, so the
case was dropped and the woman dis
charged.

CASE OF "PEG-LEG" BROWN.
Itch of Jealous Detectives for No
toriety Leads to Political
SuuRbble.

Some time ago negro named peg
Leg" Brown, in London, Ont, engaged
in a quarrel with policeman named
Toohey, who served the civic govern
ment Of that town. In the quarrel
Toohey was slain, and Peg Leg"
escaped across the frontier into the
United States. The character of the
crime was we'll defined, having been
witnessed by number of persons, and
the evidence was clear that the negro
had been the assailant and had pro-
voked the fight which ended fatally to
the policeman. Upon this showing an
| indictment for murder was found, and
the necessary steps were taken by the
dominion authorities to secure the de-
livery Of Peg Leg" into the hands of
justice.
Before the eXtradition papers had
passed the regular formality Canadian
detectives had placed Brown in q from
tier town in New York state, and they
boldly entered it, arrested Peg Leg"
and without regard to the local author |
tiles or the treaty of eXtradition hur-
ried him across the suspension bridge |
and back to the scene of his crime. The |
case was promptly reported and the
United States made an instant demand |
for the body Of the prisoner, and the in
Simultaneous return of the man TO the
place whence he had been taken. The
government at Ottawa responded with
the most earnestapologies, and Brown
was sent back and locked up in an
prison, to be taken thence
only by the prescribed channels.
Now Ontario is having political
squabble over the affair, which is pure
~ OF interest to itself, but which
menaces its parliamentary elections
The question is the defense of the zeal
ous detectives who broke the law. and |
It seems that some Of them will go to
prison with their late prisoner. The
Itch OF these men for notoriety, says \
he Washington Post. appears to be in
fair way TO receive an unexpected
orm Of acknowledgement, and need
d lesson will be administered TO a large
lass of which they form group, that
detectives are also subject to the law.
leanwhile over this matter a legisla-
I've body is changing its political COM
lexion.
