"You have one of the liyest dem

Col. H. b. Morgan, who fit, bled
and escaped that the whiteS man
might carry the banner of civiliza-

where for ages the ancestors OF
Spotted Tail, Sitting Bull and
countless hordes of fearless chief
tains had held sway, recalled the
fact this morning that he and Col.
Bill Cody, better known as Buffalo
Bill" were fairly good friends. Col.
Morgan was doing frontier service
in the region of FIT. Leavenworth,
Kansas, years ago at time when
the Grand Duke, Alexieff, of Rus
STA, visited the United States The
Grand Duke was guest of Col.
Cody at Ft. Leavenworth. AT that
time buffalo were as plentiful upon
the western plains as flies in
sugar barrel Cody, crack shot,
went out with the Grand Duke and
killed hundreds of bison merely for
his guests entertainment. Col.
Morgan declares that the title "Buf-
falo Bill" was given Col. Cody as
recognition of his prOwess as buff
falo killer. Col. Morgan and Col.
Cody were born the same year.
