From the Cleveland Leader. Perhaps the greatest experience of Buffalo Bill’s life was the killing of Yellow Hand, a famous Cheyenne chief, and the consequent naming of War Bonnet creek in Wyoming from that circumstance. When Gen. Crook was serenading the Sioux tribe with bul'cts in the summer of 1876, Buffalo Bill was h s wagon master and chief of scouts. A courier had come into Crook's camp with the intel ligence that young Sitting Bull bad broken away from Red Cloud agency with 800 fighting bucks, and was then on the way to join old Sitting Bull up here in Montana Territory, while Yellow Hand, the big chief of the Cheyennes, had also left his agency without permission, with 800 warriors, bound north on a similar errand. Troops were out scouring the country in every direction. Crook’s particular business being to reach Running VVater, follow on to Raw hide creek, cross a plateau to Indian creek, and there meet and crush Yellow Hand, or drive him back to the agency. Arriving on the plateau mentioned clouds of Indians cou dbe seen far ahead in the dim distance, and one of the officers pre dicted that everybody in the civilized com mand would be killed. There were fivo companies of infantry and one troop of cavalry, the latte • making a detour and coming around ahead of the wagon train in line of battle, while the mule whackers were ordered to dismount and fight by their mules. All this took time. At last the red men drew quite near, when from their hosts rode out in front of the lines, halting mid way, a magnificently equipped and gaudily decorated Indian, his handsome war bonnet filled with eagles’ feathers trailing behind, and a shining Winchester rifle resting easily on the angle of his arm. He proudly sat his steed and surveyed the palefaces with inso lence and scorn. Then, uttering a war whoop of defiance, the chieftain raised his rifle and fired one shot at his enemies. The challenger was Yellow Hand. His riding forth alone, delivering but a single shot,anil that in the face of his enemies, tiie uttering of a defiant war whoop—all this meant nothing more or less than a challenge to a due!. Was there no one among all those white soldiers to ta e up the gauntlet so de fiantly thrust at them? For a moment everything was still; not a sound was heard; the Indian meanwhile striding majestically before them and awaiting the result of hi shot. Then, all at once, from ti e white nr Js lines da-hed a single horseman with his rifle carried at a ready, who rode obliquely along the front of the line, then turned suddenly toward the champion standing alone and ready to receive him. Troops and Indians watched with deepest interest the outcome of the fight, for it meant a duel to the death. Yellow Hand stated his pony galloping in a circle, lying far over on the opposite side, according to the aboriginal style of fighting from horseback, fired shot after shot quickly and rapidly at his pale-faced adversary. Buffalo Bill sat his steed like a centaur, and only pulled the trigger when there was some reason for it, preferring not to wa te a shot unle s there was som” chance of liiL ting. Gradually the circle became smaller, and the faster Yellow Hand fired his W n chester, always loading his mngaz ne and manipulating his iece while Iving along side of an on the fur' best ide of his flying animal. When the distance had been les sened to about 150 yards, and when Buffalo Bill had been grazed more than once by Ids enemy’s lead, 'he latter suddenly halted his horse, took a quick and acc rate aim at the circling ] air, and pulled the t: igger. Down went rider am steed, rolling over in the dust, both of them shot to the death. Rush ing forwai and, the white scout leaped from his horse, and, v hipping out his long, keen hunting knife, seal ed the great warrior, in full sight of lioth armies. With the loss of tlr ir leader the spirit of the Indians was broken. They could not fight after that calamity, the scalping of their favorite hief utter y und teetotally breaking their savage hearts. They gave up the scheme of joining the other hostdes in Montana and hurried back to their own agency, scattering provisions and plunder by the way. That night the troops camped on Indian creek, and in honor of Buffalo Bill's great achievement and handsome trophy taken from Yellow Hand’s head, the name was changed from Indian creek to War Bonnet creek, which latter title it still bears. A Cat ale. From the Fere York Star. A gray cat, entered Michael Dowling’s sa loon at No. (i-Is T. ii'ri avenue a few even ings ago. If looked around, as if taking in the surroundings, and was so gentle ami cunning as to gain the friendship of Mr. Dowling, who treated her to a free drink of milk. Pussy after swallowing her welcome meal jumped off the bar, and with a cheer ful mew disappeared through the open door. ••.Just like ail tramps,” exclaimed Mr. Dowling; “they come hire looking as if they were starving, sick and dying, they tell y u an awfully sad story, you give them help and they go out w tbout even saying th ink you. Now that was a nice cat, and I w mid like to have had her here and given her a good home.” Mr. Dowling was talking to some custom ers an hour later, when he was thunder struck, as ho baw that i-aine gray cat come into the saloon carrying in her mouth a kit ten. Pussy went uninvited behind the iar and debited the kitten at Dowling’s feet. Than pussy hurried out with a “mauw,” aid Mr. Dowling laughingly and astonished told the story of the cat’s first coming, and thought it was a sure sign of luck of her bringing in that prettv little black and white kitten. The customers in the saloon were so amused that kilty was at once treat- ed for luck. What, however, was their as tonishment when, shortly afterward, the gray cat re-enteied the saloon carrying an other kitten in her mouth. This, like, the first, she deposited at Mr. Dowling's leet, and again hurried out. Pussy brought in a tim'd and a fourth kitten, and as the strange actions of the cat spread, neigh bors came around to see the cat and her litter. Two days ago James Curry, who keeps a saloon and restauiant near the Grand Central depot in Forty-second street, called on Mr. Dowling to inquire if he had his cat. •‘What cat?” asked Dowling. “Why, my gray cat.” “What brought you here?” exclaimed Mr. Curin', as pussy sprang upon the bar and greeted her former owner. What brought pussy to Dowling’s! Why she came there and how she managed to carry for three long blocks her family of kittens is a puzzle. Pussy is, however, still at Dowling’s saloon.
