Cody Will Close wild West.

New York Special to st. Louis Post-Dls-
patch.
Buffalo Bill" is going. to disband his
wild West show. Buffalo Bill" who is
known in private life as Colonel William
r. Cody, has written to a friend in this
OF Europe is concluded he will retire from
the show business and will settle down as
a krivate citizen on his ranch in Wyoming.
Il have made my last trip" he writes,
"and Will disband the Wild West when l
arrive in America. 1 am going back to
dear old Wyoming TO take up life as a
private citizen. My business interests de-
mand my attention, and / will spend the
remainder of my life-for 1 am growing
old. you KNOWN peaceful pursuits"
The Wild West was the first of the big
and Colonel Cody became the lion of the
hour. During his first tour of the European
capitals he was received at the court of
nearly every reigning monarch, and the
old Deadwood coach. which was one of
the features of his show. carried in 1t a ma
jority Of the crowned heads OF Europe at
various times.
Cody's life has been exciting in the ex-
IRENE. From the time when he began his
life on the plain his name has been almost
a household word, and as pony express
rider, buffalo hunter, scout with Miles.
Lawton and other famous Indian fighters,
he won fame that has made him the idol
Of young America.
He organized the Wild West in partner
ship with Nate" Salisbury, and their VEN
ture proved exceptionally fortunate. There
has not been a season since the Wild West
started which has not closed with a large
balance on the profit side OF the shows
ledger. For the last five years James
Bailey, principal owner of the Barnum &
Bailey circus, has controlled a share of
the Wild West and has directed the tours
of the organization. Since the death Of
Salisbury Cody has been anxious TO retire,
and has evidently made arrangements to
that end.

BUILDING IN BAD SHAPE.
Report of Board of Charities on
blackboard Poor Farm.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE
county board of charities. which inspected
the poor farm Friday, says that the old
frame building in which the insane and
invalids are kept is in a frightful condi-
ton. 1T is a disgrace to civilization and
to Blackford county" said James Fulton.
one of the members of the board. 'You
would not put hogs in such a place, let
alone human beings. The air was so foul
we could not stand it to thoroughly inspect
the place. How human beings live there
at all is beyond me. The rest of the build
ings and the farm are all in good shape
and well kept. 1t is not the fault of the
superintendent. Mr.. Mills, for no one could
keep the old building in good shape. 1t is
unsanitary and in every way a disgrace
and a shame. A new building is imperative
there. and it ought to be built without
delay"
The County Council has appropriated
$3.50 for the purpose of a new building
there, and it will be erected in the spring.

strike-Brenker Farrell a Regular
Bulldog Fighter in Trouble.
Chicago Inter Ocean Saturday..
They say Jim Farrell. the king of the
strike breakers. is in town to run the cars
for them"
We'll. he can't be much worse thar the
bulldog motorman, Curry"
Few of the striking trainmen who ex-
changed these opinions yesterday knew
that Boss Farrell. the terror Of strikers
from st. Louis to the Atlantic coast, and
Frank Curry. the fearless motorman, whose
daring pilotage of the first car to break
the siege on the wentworth-avenue line
won their reluctant admiration, were one
and the same man.
Frank Curry's reputation In Chicago Is
that OF the most daring motorman in the
city, and the police records OF one station
show him to be the most ~pugnacious. In
st. Louis, In Cleveland. in Brooklyn. and
in many another city where street car men
have opposed their employers in the cause
OF unionism. the same man bears a like
reputation. but in those cities he is known
rs Farrell and sometimes as Farley"
He has been at leisure so far as following
his profession OF 'strike-breaking' is con-
,erned since the strike at Waterbury.
Conn.,, but as he would rather Eight than
do anything else. he has managed to keen
embroiled IN one way and another even
while employed as a nonunion motorman
on the Chicago City Railways lines.
1t was 1880 O'Clock yesterday morning
when the king or the str1ke-breakers made
his official bow to the public OF Chicago
md the striking employees OF the Chicago
City Railway who had hitherto known him
only as a fellow train-service man on the
EalSted and O'Neil street cars.
The crowd hooted and stones began 10
whistle about the car. cracking a pane OF
glass here and there. A brick crashed
through the front window close to Curry.
Without a trace of nervousness he put one
hand on a revolver in the belt beneath his
troller over TO the notch OF highest speed.
During the entire trip TO the city, with
its long waits in the midst of rioters, the
boss" was the chief prOte5tion of his car
His eyes cowed the rioters more than the
menacing revolver he used to check the
mob when they approached too close; his
language, too. seemed To impress his enc
mics, and when. with face cut by broken
glass and body bruised by bricks and
stones. he brought his car. windowless and
filled with rubbish of the streets. back tC
the barns at Se~venty-ninth and Wentworth
avenue. he was ready to go out again.
To-day some OF his helpers will arrive
from ST. Louis. Terre Haute and Other
cities where he has sent for them, and il
the police cannot keep Off the mob he says
that he thinks he can.
