! the President will receive another
| demonstration. following which a
| large group of mounted cowboys VIII
| join the party as escorts.
When the lodge is finally reached,
| the party will receive greetings from
half a hundred Indians who live IN
| that section, and from the large force
! of attendants of the link of parks IN
| the Black Hills Reservation. Also,
| there will be on hand, in military
| formation, the troop of dismounted
| Cavalry from Fort Meade, which body
| of men will act as the guard for the
| Summer White House during the stay
| of President and Mrs. Coolidge.
| During President Coolidge's former
vacations the patrol work about the
| Summer White House has been done
| bv a large detachment of United
| States Marines, but the President de-
MED the Marines the honor this sum
| mer, because he deemed it a useless
| expense to transport that many men
such a long distance, when the little
| Cavalry post at Fort Meade, less than
| so miles away from the game lodge
| could furnish the men to serve the
purpose just as well.
Indians i'm Outfit.
This cavalry guard is expected to
| be of more than ordinary interest to
the President and the members OF
his party. because in the outfit are a
number of full blooded Indians, one

a grandson of Sitting Bull, who led
the Sioux at the battle of Little Big
Horn, Wyo., in which Gen. Custer
and his entire command were killed
