Buffalo, June 8.-This mornipr
in the Indian village Was the sccno.
Of a unique performance given in
honor of the Vice-PrrsidentigL
party, now visiting the Pan-Amer-
lean Exposition. There were Indian
dances, hunts, ambusheS, d sbart
battle, war WhoOps and other Der.
fOrmances, but all this was routine
compared with the unexpected inei1
dent Of last night when the sturdy
Vice-Presldent, tempted by his
hosts and the small party who dined
with him, visited log cabin in the
woods near the home of his host
The Vice-President, naturally in the
lead, had scarcely put one foot over
the threshold when he was seized
by two brawny Indians, with full
war regalia on, and tomahawks at
their belts. The muscular Vica-
President was startled and inyoIun-
tarily set his shoulders back for L
struggle. Then from outside came
fierce war whOOps, followed an in
slant later by the sharp crack of u
vOlley Of rife shots. The two
chiefs lOOsened their hold on the
Vice-President and he turned
around to see: the space outside the
doorway filled. with painted sayagcs,
jumping up and down, waving TOM
ahawks and rifles.
Suddenly he realized that Il Joke
was being played on him and laughed
heartily. Indians and white people
crowded into the cabin, while the
captOrs of the Vice-President, Chief
American Horse and Chief Red
Cloud, led him to a spot near the
fireplace, which was an Old-fashion-
ed one with roaring, blazing logs.
a picturesque scene was presented
by the Indians and the whites in
their respective full-dress clothes
The Indians, twenty-five in number,
were decked out in their gaudiest
Of purple, yellow, blue and red,
while their features we're almost hid
den by the deep coatings Of paint
that decorated their faces
With Standing Bear lis an IN
terpreter, American Horse. who iS
one of the diplomats of the Sioux
thus addressed the Vicc-Prcsidcnt-
eve have invaded the camp Of the
great white warrior, and have un-
tremendously taken him prisoner
The Indians have heard of the bray
cry of the leader of the famous
Rough Riders, and we admire the
great white man. SO we will let
him off on parole, if he promises to
call at our camp tomorrow morning
and bring his white warriors with
him. We would also ask the white
warrior to save the Indians land,
and not let the white settlers steaE
it."
The Vice-President accepted the
invitation to visit the camp and then
promised to see that the land of the.
Indians is protected. 'If you ever
have trouble about your land come
to- me and l will try to help you"
he said.
A press agent who failed to get
this story said to-day that Teddy
went in the lions cage with BOstock,
but New York Tribune man SAYS
he stuck to the Vice-Presidcnt al
day and kept particularly close tn
him in the visit to the midway, anG
declares he did not see this.
