The Old Scout Will Be Forever Asso-
ciated with the Winning Of the
West-He Says Goodbye Tomorrow.
AS boy of thirteen in his first
Indian fight, winging an enemy; &C.
companying Gen. Albert Sidney John
son on the Utah expedition; filling
every grade possible as an all-around
plainsman, with its attending adven-
lures and dangers; serving through
the civil war; acting as guide, scout
and trailer until achieving the dis
tinction of chief of scouts of the Unit
ed States army under Gen. Philip
Sheridan; serving in repeated cam
paigns under the most distinguished
Indian fighting generals and officers of
the United States army up to and in
Guiding the last ghost dance war Of
1S9O.91; taking personal and active
part in his educational exhibition for
a third of a century; being active In
the settlement of the west; being
prominent in the development Of the
last corner that was a vacuum-the
Big Horn basin of Wyoming; pushing
theoretically the reclamation service,
under which he took up and complet-
ed the first irrigation proposition un.
der the Carey act; interested in vari-
GUS industries now developing in the
valley; having the prospective metro
polls named after him; having the
railroads built 1875 miles over the
mountains to It, and believing that
section is on the verge Of financial
development, the old scout, Col. Cody,
feeling justified in finishing his career
as an exhibitor and saying to the Am
erican public "Farewell!" with the
visit here Saturday of the Wild West
and Far East.
The people like man who has
done something" and that fact gives
them confidence in his veracity when
he says something" Mankind &C.
knowledges that Buffalo Bill is past
master in the first proposition and
that gives a certainty to his present
announcement that his coming visit is
one of farewell. The old scout an
nounces that his arenic career, in each
and every town visited, will hereafter
be one that makes the parting of the
ways from his patrons and his re-
tirement to private life in the shad-
ows of the Rocky mountains.
This announcement is made with all
seriousness, as he feels that his labors
from natural causes soon cease. BY
taking time by the forelock the &C.
casion can be celebrated without the
sadness that age and decreptitude
would create, while ripened vigor and
virility add spirited picture that
memory could treasure with a modi-
cum Of regret. On this occasion he
brings to his auditors sufficient num-
Der of novelties to refresh and bright
en- the standard program of historic
events in Buffalo Bills Wild West,
by an alliance with Pawnee Bills
Far East. Thus he gives to his old
time patrons sufficient newness to the
entertainment, while retaining an ap-
propriateness in the character of the
additions.
With the ambition to even excel his
former efforts as an entertainer, with
the experience of his younger cOad-
jutor, Major Lille, Col. Cody still ad-
heres to the grand historical scenes
of the now passed western days Of
strife; the exploitation of native,
primitive and natural horsemanship:
the inclusion of rough riders from all
parts of the world; international mill
tary cavaliers; trained high school
equines, all supplemented by the
sports, pastimes, ceremonies and rites
of Oriental peoples from the Far East,
thus adhering to the chronological
character and human interest Of his
exhibition to the untraveled.
The managerial object is to give an
entertainment fitting the occasion
when one who has so long held public
attention finds it incumbent upon him
to seek seclusion from public care,
changing his almost daily life Of min
Cling with the masses, and to these
old associates say Farewell"
