when Secretary Moonoy roceivcj word;
iroin tn inuian department hi waan
Ington that all the rod men necewsnry
to mnko the celebration a slice ea could
be obtained from the Rosebud agency
in South Dakota.
Tlietw Indians will probably ride
their cayusos from the agency to Norlh
Platto which na tin ciw fliicia, is
about 150 nillea. They will come pre
pared to deck themselves in real war
paint and feathors and some will bring
