must apparently be on the track of
Cody as he has such good history.
Where must Blake be all this time?
by inquiry | can not learn from any
of the old residents of Fort Randall
where William Cody, Buffalo Bill, was
ever here. Also | fail to see how he
could make his frequent trips to the
Ponca reservation. II is not possible
he could as that reservation was for.
ty-seven miles from Fort Randall. This
would show that the government had
Cody employed for no other purpose
than to make love to Indian women.
Again Blake says when he first
knew Mrs. Cody she was at Fort Nc
Pherson, Neb. How came this man
Blake to have such a knowledge of all
these stations and especially Mrs. Co
dy!s alleged history for this occasion.
William Cody was moral young
man and when | had a knowledge of
him from 1869 to 1871 he never was
known to drink or carouse but at all
times was faithful to his trust as a
