INDIAN CHIEFTAIN WORRIED BECAUSE HE
MAY HAVE TO LEAVE WILD WEST SHOW.
HIGH BEAR HAS THE RHEuMA
rIsM BUT DOES NOT WANT TO
RETURN TO RESERVATION.

Chief High Bear, Of the Sioux tribe,
is worried. He has rheumatism. That
Is enough to worry even stolid
Indian. But it isn't simply because he
has rheumatism that Chief High Bear
worries. 1t is because his ailment may
compel him to leave the 101 Ranch
Pine Ridge agency.
When Chief High Bear was first ap-
preached by an agent Of the 101 Ranch
and solicited to join the Indian con-
gress, which is an important part Of
the exhibition, his dignity was Of.
Tended. He was, he said, an Indian
chief, not a Snowman. He had always
frowned upon the young men of his
tribe who joined the wild west show,
displaying their beaded finery to the
gaping crowds and exhibiting their
sacred dances to the inquisitive pale
faces. It required several visits Of the
agent to Chief High Bears tepee, and
several additions to the original
stipend offered to induce the old chief
to accept.
That was four years ago. Since that
time Chief High Bear has been con-
stantly with the show, except when he
has returned to his tribe on the reser-
walton for brief winter visit. He Is
infatuated with thes show life. The
magic existence, with his tepee
erected ON the show grounds every
day by his squaws and daughters, and
the opportunity to see many strange
parts Of the great white mans coun-
try, appeal to him. The only thing that
could drive him away would be his
rheumatism tw1nges.
1t Is a pity, too, for Chief High Bear
fs magnificent specimen Of the real
plains Indian, although he Is a very
old man. Among the scores of other
Indians with the 101 Ranch show n
Sioux, Cheyennes, Arrappahoes, Pom
cas-, Navatos-he Is held In high re.
