SITTING BULL.
Some History Relating to The
Surrender of Sitting Bull AS
Told by Cap. Grant Marsh.
EDITOR LEADER

In a conversation with a party
of friends about the capture of
Sitting Bull, l thought it would
not be amiss to relate what [ know
about the matter. Sitting Bull
was never captured but surrendered
to the military authorities at Fort
Buford in the fall Of 1881, and he,
with his band, was taken to Fort
Randall, near Yankton, South Da-
kota, and kept prisoners during
the winter of 1881 and 1882. In
the spring my boat, the w. j. Be-
han, which was at Sioux City, was
chartered to take them to Standing
Rock to locate them on the agency.
There were III prisoners, includ-
ing women and children. Sitting
Bull had two wives and a number
of children. Among the latter was
a boy about IA years old who was
captured from the Rec Indians.
During the winter the soldiers
had taught Sitting Bull how to
write his name, and he spelled it
Settling Bull" and he had also
been taught the value of money
and would charge a dollar for his
autograph and he did a big bust
ness.
The prisoners were in charge of
Lieut.. Davis, of the 18th infantry.
Davis had an escort Of soldiers,
and everywhere we landed on our
way up, the young people would
flock on board to get Sitting Bull
to write his name in their albums.
At Chamberlain and Pierce they
met us by the train load. He
would charge one dollar for every
signature and he had lots of money.
At Cheyenne agency there was a
half breed by the name Of Frank
Chadron, who had made me a pres
ent Of a very fine pipe stem; I
showed it to Sitting Bull and he
wanted to buy it, but as it was a
present I did not care to part with
it; finally I told the Interpreter,
Charley Pecot, in a joke, to tell
Bull that 1 would take fifty dollars
for it, Bull answered, in his own
language, that it was too much
money. 1 told Charley to tell him
that he had kept me scared for
twenty years along the river watch
ing for him and that he ought to
allow me something for that. His
reply was to tell me that he did not
come on my land to scare me and
if / had not come on his land I
would not have been scared. I

Down the Eastern Shore of Maryland about three
years ago. there lived very cunning Fox named Red
TAIL He was too lazy to work and spent time
One day he walking along the seashore thinking
about his next meal and feeling very hungry them
he saw an oyster lying the sand playing a game of
checkers with tiny shells The Oyster playing by
himself moving the both sides of the board and
having nice quiet time
Here thought Mr. Fox ssis my chance to get .
good NEAL
So he trotted very gently toward his victim.
But the Oyster saw him coming and shut down the
top OF his house tightly that Red Tail could
not get at him. Accordingly he down very friend-
ly manner and thus addressed his intended prey:
Good morning, Mr.. Oyster he said. ssHave told
about my experiences IN Washington last week9''
The Oyster did not answer but only grunted There
upon the wicked Fox commenced telling long tiresona
story about what he had seen
He described his visit to the Senate and House of
Representatives. and repeated word for word of
the most unnteresting speeches he had heard
After he had talked half hour the Oyster becama
terribly sleepy and tired of listening the stupid stories
that Red Tail telling He very polite at first and
tried to look interested but at last could stand it
longer, and opening his shell he yawned and yawned
Now this just what that wicked Fox wanted him
to do.
He sprang the poor little Oyster before he cor
shut his shells together and devoured him In
After he finished swallowing his victim, he smaeke
lips and grinned.
.tAfter ALL, he said, 1.-The Congressional R
be put TO use.''

A SIMPLE TRICK.

"A paFlor trick which seems super
human to the uninitiated. but which is
really very simple when explained. is
performed in THE way: The performer
requests that he or she be blindfolded.
A number of pennies OF different dates
are placed by the audience In hat
The magician requests that one of the
coins be selected at random and passed
from hand to hand. so that each one
notes the date. The coin is then placed
back in the hat and the coins shaken
up.
Il will now pick out that particular
eoin." the wizard announces, and he
does so. The trick may be repeated any
number of times The secret
metals are very sensitive to |
the coin handled by a number Egar
gets warm from contact wi
fingers. When dropped back @
hat, It Is easy to find. beca
warmer than the other coins.

HAD TWO DIAMONDS,
Negro Boy Gets Into Trouble By Ds-
 playing the Rings.

Tuscaloosa, December 22.-(Special)-,A negro boy who works for Mrs. F. w. Needs of this place was locked up last night by the police for being too vulgar in the display of his diamond rings. It seems that the boy appeared at one of the jewelry stores to ascertain if two diamond rings he had were the genuine articles. The clerk became suspicious at once and went to the telephone to have the boy apprehended, when he became insolent, and the clerk then knocked him down.
 He was then turned over to the police, and after communication with Mrs. Needs was effected it was found that she had missed two of her rings, and these were identified as hers. She stated that she did not think the boy intended to steal them, as he had picked them up several times and returned them to her. The boy stated that he took them down to find out whether or not they were genuine to substantiate a bet that he had made about the rings with friend of his, and that he intended to take them back as soon as the bet was settled in this way.
