NORTH March 14th, at his residence in this eity, ef coBgeitioa of the luags, Major Frank J. North. . Mr. North started from New Orleans March 5 to, for home. At St Louis he encountered a snow storm, when he was taken sick. At Omaha, he was met by his brother, James &, with whom he returned home on Wedaesday last On Bator day, at 4 p. m., his brave, generous spirit left the body. The funeral services took -place yesterday forenoon, the Mayor's re quest by proclamation having been complied with, and harness houses closed. The Opera House was crowded to its atmost capacity, and many remained outside. Bsv. Dougherty of Brownell Hall, Omaha, read the impressive service of the Episcopal church, and deliv ered a well-merited and touching tribute to the memory ef the de ceased. A select choir sang "He Giveth His Beloved Sleep," and the Mssnnerchor, "He Rests ia Peace." Acquaintances were then privi leged to cast a last look upon the remaias, and the procession reformed for the cemetery.' And there, after the burial service and hymns, the mortal remaias of Frank J. North were consigned to mother earth. The following, from the Omaha Bee of Monday, written by the as sociate editor of that paper, a per soaal friend and admirer of the de ceased, will be recognized by our readers as a fitting tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased : "Frank J. North was born March 10, 1840, in Tompkins county, N. Y. His father, Thomas J. North, was a gen eral merchaat Early in life deceased moted with bis family to Bichland coaaty, Ohio, and in 1856 the family moved to Omaha, Neb. The father was engaged as a surveyor under coatract with the government, and on March 12th, 1857, while so employed near Papillion river, he was caught in a terrific storm and perished. Thus, at the age of 17, Mr. Frank J. North by the sad death of bis father, was left with bis mother to superintend the extensive business in which his father had become engaged whereby forty men were employed in clearing a large tract of timber land, on which a part of the city of Omaha now stands. Frank took charge-and kept this work moving until its comple tion. In 1857 the deceased moved to Florence, just above this city, where he resided in the winter of 1857-58, and went in the following summer to Columbus, Neb., while the family re turned to Ohio, and after about one year's residence there returned to Nebraska. At Columbus Frank J. North began to. break prairie with teams taken with him there, and did some farming. In the fall of 1858 he joined a trapping party, who es tablished a camp 125 miles west of Columbus, and remained there until the spring of 1859, returning to Co lumbus and farming during the sum mer, after which he began freighting from Omaha to Cottonwood Springs. In the spring of 1860 he went to Den ver, shortly returned to Columbus, continued freighting for some time, and finally went to the Pawnee reser vation with a team to work for the agent there. Having previously be come proficient in the Pawnee lan guage, Mr. North soon secured a good position at the agency as clerk, in which position he remained until August, 1864, when he began the or ganization of a company of Pawnee scouts, to be enrolled for ninety days. This organization completed, he went with these scouts with General Sam uel Curtis, serving until his time ex pired as first lieutenant. Before bidding adieu to Lieut. North and his Scoots, bo favorably thought was Gen. Curtis of them and their control by Lieut North, that without solicitation be promised a captain's commission to North, which he received October 15, 1864. He immediately recruited to a full quota a separate, independent company of Pawnee scouts, which he led to Jules burg and joined Gen. Connor, going out on the Powder river campaign. Besides a great deal of scouting dur ing the season, this company, killed more than 200 Indian enemies with? out the loss of a man from the ranks of the. scouts, who attributed this wonderful escape to the Great Spirit. In 1865 Capt North commanded Camp Genoa, twenty-two miles west of Columbus, remaining there until the spring of 1866, when all volun teers were mastered, out of service. Returning to Columbus, Capt. North in the fall of 1866 was appointed post trader for the Pawnee agency, where he remained until the spring of 1867. In March, 1867, he again entered the service as major of a battalion, he or ganizing it aad appointing its officers. These troops 'served along theU. P. liae.nntil 1871 when they were mus tered out In the summer of 1871 Major North was made post guide and interpreter for Camp Munson. In 1872 be was transferred to Sidney Barracks where he remained until August 5tb, 1876, when he was called to Chicago to report to Gen. Sheridan and ordered to proceed to the Indian Territory and enlist 4oae. hundred "Pawnee Indiaus as scouts for service in .the department of the Platted This was done, and he brought bis Pawnee scouts, by rail to, Sidney Barracks, where they were equipped fer service. They were or dered tor Bed Cloud Agency, where they participated ia the capture of Chief Bad Cioad.and his entire Jribe of warrior. They then went" with Geaeral Crook and served during the1 entire campaign of 1876-774 returned to Sidney barracks aatil May 1st, 1877, where they were disbanded.and retaraed to the lodiaa Territory. 8ooa after Mafor North came to Omaha, formed a co - partaership' with Hob. W. F. Cody, (Baffalo Bill), aader the firm aasae of Cody A North and embarked in the stock business, having accumulated ,4,500 head of cattle which grazed on five ranches, embracing an area of country twenty five miles in breadth by thirty in length, situated in the Dismal river section, sixty-five miles north of North Platte Citv. in western Ne braska. On December 25, 1865, Major North married Miss Mary L. Smith, in Columbus. She was born in Hart ford county, Connecticut, June 3, 1845. They have one daughter, Stella G., a lovely girl now attend ing Brownell Hall school, in Omaha, born April 16, 1869. The tidings that flashed along the wires Saturday fell upon the ears of his IegionB of friends all over this great western country, aye, and away on the Atlantic border, like a mourn ing, melancholy wail I It was diffi cult to realize that he waajdead,whom we all have -known- for. twenty-five years as the conspicuous chief and leader of an Indian tribe, in their savage battles with their inveterate! foes, the equally savage Sioux; as the pioneer white man, who left the path of the husbandman, cultivating the ways of peace, to ride at the head of feathered Indians and mark in red war a pathway for a thousand white men's homes; as the cool, cautious, trusty adviser of Sheridan, Conner, Curtis, Crook and others to whose keeping the safety of the border was entrusted, when the fiery breath of Indian rifles was constantly blown so near that one could almost feel it upon the outstretched hand ; as the white chief whose courage, truth, wisdom, precaution and prudence had won their savage hearts and made him chief and ruler of the barbar ous red men ; as the real pioneer. whose energy, pluck and faith in Ne braska kept him day after day break ing her virgin soil to receive its first kiss from the generous sunlight; as the law-abiding -citizen ; the dutiful son; the affectionate husband and father; the true friend, and amidst all the trying scenes of a most eventful life, the noble, brave, gen erous and honest man. It was meet that a life of romance, hardship, dan ger and heroism, should be ended amidst the scenes of its exploits that stand alone in their simplicity of grandeur and greater because un boasted and ondisplayed. This truly good and useful man has gone I We all knew him and we loved him ; and while the young girl, now an orphan, her mother having died abont two years ago, is left midst the hosts of his friends to be respected and be loved, green be 'Frank's' memory as the grass upon his grave I" a Feraal.
