Arkansas Cit Traveller: Some time ago
Wash-un-ga went to Washington 10 see
the president, and it is evident that he
created a great deal or comment. The
people have seen this old Indian about
the streets so often that they have for
gotten that he is a chief. In Washing
ton an Indian Is evidently a Curiosity
for the following is the way the report
went out from Washington. He was ac-
corded as much attention by the news
papers as the representative of a foreign
nation. The story is dated December a:

Guided Wash Shun Cab, chief Of the
Kansas tribe of Indians. He was in full
war paint, from his thoroughly smeared
face TO his gay coloTed mOccaslns and
fiery red shawl, but he was not in a bell
Hcose humOr. He was, in fact, the best
natured and most laxative Indian who
has been to see the great white
father for a long time. He was SO full
OF talk that he wanted to make a speech

free and easy way, extending his right
hand in a gay and cordial manner.
Wash shun Gan has made two speeches
since he came to Washington. One was
to Secretary Hitchcock, or the interior
department, and the other to Commits
sioner Jones. Secretary Gage went to
the White House while Wash Shun Cab
was there and was introduced to the
chief The interpreter explained that
Secretary Gage was the man who had
all the Indian money. Wash's face
Frightened He patted Secretary Gage
on the shoulder and said: Me no 90

panied to the White House by Represen-
