Tribute To General Carr.
Colonel Cody. when seen in his pri-
vate ear in the Santa Fe yards last
night. paid a glowing tribute to Cen
eral Carr as an Indian fighter, a sol
dier Of intrepid courage and a man
who was every inch a man. He told
how. in 1868, while he was stationed
at Fort Hayes. Kan. Genera Sheri-
dan had sent a regiment which he was
to guide into the mountains TO dis
perse the tribes Of hostile Indians that
were committing depredations i'm Wes-
tern Kansas, eastern Colorado and
northeastern New Mexico. Eugene A
! Carr. brevet brigadier general of the
union army, had recently been mus
tered into the regular service al ma

! the regiment which Buffalo Bill had
to guide

Problem Solved
Continuing in "a reminiscent vein
1 Colonel Cody told Of an experience
when he was with General Crook in
Montana IN the winter of 1876, serv-
ing as scout A friend at trading
lpost some $50 miles distant had sent
him bottle of brandy by the only
scout in the army who was a tcctotalef
and who was bearing dispatches to
General Crook. Colonel Cody SNUG
gled the brandy into camp but the
next day on the march, the thermom
eter was lowering down near the zero
mark, and he thought st would be
only the proper thing to offer the
general a drink.
/ It took some time to convince the
general that he really had the brandy
/ in his saddle bags but when this was
accomplished the two detoured from
! the column, found their way into q
deep arroyo, and each of them leaned
against stiff bracer After the cork
! had teen replaced the general smack
/ ing his lips, remarked. ~ don't know
what to do about this. I'm afraid to
! trust you with the brandy.
That's just what I was thinking
general, replied Buffalo Bill Pm
afraid to trust YOU with it,
According to Colonel Cody, after
thinking the matter over for quite n
while it was decided that there was
only one solution to the problem,
They pulled the cork again and fin
ished up the bottle.
! Entertained ia III paso.
/ Colonel Cody was the recipient of
many honors during his stay In El
Paso Friday and Saturday lie was
/ the guest at banquet attended by
the most distinguished military and
civil officials in and around the city.
and riding by his side in the parade
was Col Charles w Taylor COM
handing the Sixteenth infantry an
old-time friend and comrade of the
famous Indian fighter and army
scout He was entertained at Fort
Bliss at a campfire spread, and every
courtesy possible was shown him.
After the parade this morning Col
onel Cody will make an address to tha
students of the Albuquerque Busi7e'
college, and it is quite possible that
/ he will be called upon to make other
