OF CUSTER MASSACRE.

misery, but when it was found that he
was the only living thing that had
survived the fight 1t was resolved TO
save his life If possible. He was cared
for By Reno's men as If he We're hu-
man and when he had recovered suft'
ciently he was sent to Lincoln, Neb.,
from which place he was transferred
to Fort Meade. Later he was trans
ferred to Fort Riley. Kan. where he
passed the remainder of his life in
ldleness, kept at the expense of the
government He was Is years old at
the time of the battle OF the Little Big
Horn and died at the ripe age of 80.
Capt. Keogh was the last man who
ever rode Comanche. The dignity of
a government order was invoked to
save the old horse from further labor
and at the end of his life, by gov
ernment order, l.. L. Dyche. professor
of systematic zoology of the Univer-
sity of Kansas, mounted his skin.
Coaanche was just a plain Texas
range horse, where he was picked up
by a government agent. Long before
the battle of the Little Big Horn he
saw service in Texas and Indian ter
ritory. and after a battle with the
Comanches was named in honor OF the
event. Being with the army on the
frontier during all of his active service
he probably never knew the luxury
of oats until he was put in the big
box stall at Fort Riley, where he dled
as n pensioner of the United States.
But for all that he was a tough beast
as he proved by his recovery from
wounds that would have settled the
fate of whole troop of less hardy
horses. When Prof. Dyche dissected
his carcass he found where he had
heen shot twice in the hips, once In
the lungs. once in the shoulder ana
once in his neck He carried parts
of two bullets in his body to the end
of his life.
On Comanche's back as he stands in
the museum is the regulation cavalry
saddle with the figure ~ the insignia
of the Seventh cavalry, worked In the
cloth. But neither the saddle nor the
bridle are originals, as everything
mat came from the field was so badly
hacked by the Indians as to be unht
for use. The skin contains none oil
comanche's skeleton but the skull.

GEN. PALMER PRESENTS
Immense Collection of Birds Present
ed TO Colorado College
By Palmer

Through the generosity of General
Palmer. Mr.. Aiken's valuable col
tion of birds has become the property
of the Colorado College museum. The
collection includes about 5000 speci-
mems, embracing about 500 species
and sub-species, and is especially rich
in Colorado and Rocky mountain
birds. Mr.. Aiken has been at work
making this collection for over 35
years. that Is to say. ever since he
came to Colorado Springs in the year
1871.
Out of some 800 species of birds re-
corded from the state of Colorado
Mr. Aiken's collection contains about
$50 species and is very probably by
far the most complete that has ever
been made, so far as Colorado is con-
cerned The collection illustrates in
many of the species variations due
to sex. age season and locality, and
some of the most important reports
written on the birds of Colorado have
been based on the specimens of this
collection. II is, OF course oil the
greatest Importance that such a col
lection as this, the life work of one of
our greatest authorities on birds of
Colorado, should be kept intact and
deposited in some public institution
in Colorado, and is particularly fit
ting that this depository should be
in Colorado Springs. with which place
Mr.. Aiken has been connected for so
many years. General Palmer's far
reaching generosity has made this
possible. Under the arrangements
made. Mr. Aiken will prepare for ex-
hIbition at the Colorado College Mu-
scum a set of Colorado birds. while
the bulk of the collection will remain
in the form of study series stored in
cabinets for the use of students of
natural history.

district attorney resides in another
county of his district. he will often
go into court without full information
to the cases he has to conduct If
he had been also the county attor-
ney these matters, even if handled by
a deputy, would have been directly
under his control and he would have

RAILROAD MAN KILLED
John Ii. Leasley well known, Killed
at Dicllic, Colorado on
Yesterday

Yesterday, the father of John b.
Laseley, young railroad man en-
ployed in the shops at Dickie, Colo
rado, received a message stating that
his son had been killed while on duty
on the turn table at Dickie.
The remains will be brought to this
city tomorrow and taken in charge
by Undertaken Bannister. The fun
eral and interment will probably take
place on Sunday afternoon.
The full particulars of the fatal
accident have not yet been learned
but it is understood that the young
man was struck by an engine. The de-
seased was about thirty-two years OF
age. He had only been married about
seven months. His young wife is al
most prostrated with grief. They had
been located at Dickie for about a
year.
The deceased was a member of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive fre-
men. He was well known to many
railroad men in this city. He has
brother-in-law, Ed. Gearhart. the
blacksmith. His father resides on
South Fifth street in this city.
The deceased had visited this city
several times. One of the sad featur-
es of the death is the fact that he was
preparing to leave Dickie in a rev
days and secure a new position with
the road at another point probably
in Denver.
