Sitting Hull at a Theatre.
Fifteen years ago times were lively
in "Dakota," and Fargo waa a Ixxim
ing town of 12.000 people. Haifa
dosieh theatrical enterprises were in
full blast, and a seventh manager
opened n new house, the magnificence
of which far outshone those of its com
petitors. The theatre was to be opened
on Monday evening, and that morning
the train from the West brought the
great Kiouz chief. Sitting Bull, with a
small party of Indians who were en
route to Washington to see the great
Father. Tho new management secured
the attendance of the warriors for the
ooning of his house, and the hundreds
of "tenderfeet" who hail never yet seen
a real Indian in war paint paid fabu
lous prices for seats.
Kitting Bull and his warriors were on
hand early, gaudily arrayed in feath
ers, headdress, bended blankets and
wampum. They were seated in tha
centre aisle in the space between the
orchestra railing and front row of par
ipiet. The red meu preserved their
monumental stoicism, and throughout
the entertainment not a smile wrinkled
their faces. Each one of them carried
a short oaiuted stick, one end of which
was split.
Into the split waa thrust a small
piece of looking-glass. Occasionally
the Indiaus held the mirrors up before
their eyes nnd took a careful survey of
the audience behind them. This en
abled them to see w hat was going on
all over the house without shifting
their position. The closing feature of
the programme was an act performed
by a female trapeze performer who
was advertized to possess wonderful
strength in her jaws.
The htage mauager announced that
rhe would hang suspended from the
trapeze bar by her knees and support
a heavy cannon w ith her teeth while it
was discharged. At sight of the can
non Kitting Bull nnd his men began to
show Higns of uneasiness. They shifted
about iu their seats nervously. Two
men lifted the cauuon aud left it clang
ling from the woman's jaws. The
muzzle of tho weapon swung on a level
with the Indiana' headdress.
(Sitting Bull aud his warriors by this
time had become extremely nervous.
Tbey looked at each other inquiringly,
as if they suspected that they had Wen
drawn into a trap aud were to be delib
erately slaughtered. The.y jabbered to
each other excitedly and two or three
times ao far forgot their stoicism aa to
look over their shoulders. Finally,
everything was in readiness; the atage
mauager stepjied back, gave the Btring
that he held a jerk, there was a Mann
and a roar, and out of the cloud of
smoke that shot into the parquet Sit
ting Bull aud hia warriors sprang,
wildly shouting as they made their way
down the aisle, striking madly right
and left with the long-stemmed stone
, pipes which they carried. No attempt
was maue by the audience to atop tne
Indiana, who made their way outside
and didn't stop running until they
reached the hotel. For once the fear
less chief of the Sioux waa unutrved.
