WEDNESDAY, OCT. 16, 1895. Major Burke, the Generaiis* simo of Buffalo Bill. A Graphic Description of the Kill ing of Capt. Wallace at the Battle of Wounded Knee. A white sombrero attracted attention at the Charleston Hotel yesterday, aud ao investigation of the register revealed the fact that its owner was * John M. Burke, Uoited States," which'broad domain argued a broad minded cosmopolite. Government Agent Carlisle, who is bere "famishing build ings," furnished the farther io forma tion by introduction to "Major*7 Burke, Col. Cody's (Buffalo Bill) long time associate and generalissimo. After a few general remarks tbe cause and nature of the Major's visit developed itself in the followiog : 44 Well, sir, I have come abead more particularly to assure tbe people of the South and Charleston tbat Col. Cody (Beffalo Bill) is bringing his great ex - hibition bere io its entirety, as large, if not largor, than at the World's Fair, Chicago; also to impress upon them that we have never been here before? small imitators have?and in tbe nature of things it is highly probable we may never be again." "How is that "Well, everything and everybody we have are genuine, and tbe primitive people. Icdiaos, Cossaeks, Arabs, cow boys, Gaachos, warriors, scouts and, nresnmabiy, the cavalry, are things fast passing away ; in fact, the last of 'The Last Mohicans.7 Col. Cody's am bition is to leave tbe memory of this realism in all its grandeur and magni tude as a legacy to every part of tbe country and theo finish his really extra ordinary labors in this "line." "There must be considerable diplo - macy necessary to present this Organi zation." "Yes, we have to have the sanctioo, assistance and official countenance of some eight Governments, months of worry in organizing and days and nights of care and trouble travelling, besides the great expense. All our people represent a class that in a few years it will be impossible to assemble together, and if war occurered now in any part of the globe our organization would be affected materially, so strong ly do we embrace tbe martial heroism, not only in tbe past, but the present.'7 "Whai Indians have you?" "The Sioux of various tribes. From the same nation one of your gallant Carolinians fell so late as ?891?Capt. Wallace, of your State, at the time of the Ghost Dance war.'7 "You knew Capt Wallace ?" "My dear boy, yes. It seems so short a time 1 can almost see him ? standing before me. Poor fellow, I saw j him just a few boors before the battle ; of Wounded Knee, and afterwards when bis body was being prepared to be sent to the railroad, tbenco here to Charlcstoc, I think. No soldier ever left a more glorious record on any field than is recorded in the army annals cf 1?* ?. Wallace's death." ' What were the circumstances ?" "When the Ghost Dance craze oc < curred in 1890, Col. Cody, who was in j Germany, closed the Wild West, leav ? ing the outfit in winter quarters in | A!?aee*Lnrraioe, while he took quick steamer to the seat of trouble. After ao interrupted effort to reach Sitting Boll he took tbe field as brigadier gen eral of tbe Nebraska National Guard, while I went with our Indians also to tbe seat of trouble, to pacify through their aid, if possible, the malcontents. We landed two hours afrer tbe 7th civalry, at Pine Ridge. Capt Wal lace was one of the Srst to greet Col. Cody, as they were old acquaintances, and daring the several weeks of the campaign we Were all daily together, j Wallace was a tall typical Southerner, j auiver*aUy jolly? a?d was the life of the j cam-p, in fact, a great favorite with j everyone and resultingly deeply grieved j for to this day. "Sitting Ball had been killed and one of the Northern bands under 'Big Foote7 and 'Hamp' bad stampeded south toj?in the hostiles under 'Kick ing Bear7 and 'Short Boll,' that were confronting us in tbe B?d Lands.? Gen. Miles intercepted *HumpV band, and having whipped him before, suc ceeded in getting him to come in, but 'Big Foote' evaded all parties and kept the military thinking, escapiog them aH until Major Whiteside's command discovered him on Sunday morning. "By the way, John Cbangrau, who "is with Buffalo Bill as interpreter, was one of tbe guides tbat found him, and i was afterwards in the battle. Cbangrau held a parley with them in regard to surrendering, and Major Whiteside, deeming it imprudent to attack with ' bis force, sent for the balance of the 7th cavalry to aid him. I was in Capt. Wallace's tent when tbe orders came, and ander cover of a heavy sand storm, that hid them from tbe Iodiaos in front, they reached Whiteside dur ing tbe eveniog about dusk, Gen. Forsythe then being in command. The Indians, feeling equal to the first com- j maod, and not knowing of the rein forcements, were divided as to sur- ; rendering, but the head men at last arranged to do so. Capt. Wallace was ordered to superintend tbe affair, and j was in tbe village with Philip Wells, ! Chaograe and others when, all at once, an unexpected firing commenced. Wallace, of course, was surrounded, sod the sudden and bloody battle was fought awhile uctil the Indians were annihilated almost (only five escaping and about fifteen wounded.) After wards the gallant Wallace was found shot through the body ar/d the skull crushed in, but with five chambers of bis revolver emptied and five dead In dians at his feet Thus fell a man that South Carolina may well be proud of, as Philip Wells says he was shot at the first fire, eo with a mortal wound he showed that expiring bravery of the lion-hearted man with sand?a true soldier.''?News and Courier.

BLOODSHED* At"cHTJRCH. Pistols, Razors and Brass Knucks Freely Used. St. Paul's Church, colored, which is j situated near Wisacky, this county, was last j Sunday the scene of a bloody row between negroes who were just drunk enough to be: bellig?rant. The row started by Mack Lackey objecting to a straage negro from Charleston paying | too much attention to his wife. Luckey en- ! forced his objection by drawing his pistol aod ! shooting at'the Charleston dude. He missed his mark but old Billy Anthony, a bystander got it in the thigh a few inches below the Lip. Lackey's brother took a band with a rez?r and inflicted a severe, but not dangerous .found on the Charleston negro, who retal iated by knocking bis assailant down with a pair of brass knucks, and injuring him J seriously. The meeting broke op in a perfect turmoil, j the greater part cf the. congregation leaving the vicinity as rapidly as their legs would take them Several besides those mentioned | above look a bund in the fight, and for time there was a lively little skirmish. The only serious wounds received in the affray were ibosr mentioned above. The minister hr.d the cooleess and fore thought to take the names of ail who took part in the row. These he bad arrested at once and they were to be takeo to Bishopviiie j yesterday afternoon for commitment by \ Tr?! Justice Parrott. ? Tltc row is said to have been the dircei j outcome of a two free indulgence in liquor, j aud that under the circumstances it is remark able that a greater number .rere not injured. ...? ?rw~ ? ? ? -q? ?
