GREAT CHIEFS IN TOWN
A BAND OF SIOUX INDIANS COME ON AN ERRAND OF PEACE
SIGHT-SEEING AND SPEECH-MAKING

They Visit the Lincoln Institution, See Some Big Stores and in the Evening Listen to the Oratory of the Friends of the Universal Peace Society - Interesting Points About the Visitors - Sitting Bull’s Old Enemy Makes and Eloquent Address.

A band of Sioux Indians invaded the city of William Penn yesterday. They were friendly Indians, although they are fresh from the disorder and carnage at the Pine Ridge Agency, and they come from Washington under the charge of Special Agent F.E. Lewis as the guests of the Universal Peace Society.

The party arrived at 11:29 in the morning and were met by William J. Hugg, superintendent of the Lincoln Institute, and Secretary Alfred H. Love. They were at once escorted to see their friends and relatives at the Lincoln Institution, at 324 North Eleventh Street. They attended at the annual meeting, listened to the singing of the girls and watched them dining with the imperturbability of their race.

They were fine specimens, and were all dressed in ordinary citizens clothes. Three of them had long hair and two of them could speak English fluently. Their names and records were as follows:

THE NAMES OF THE VISITORS

John Grass, a big chief, the life-long enemy of Sitting Bull.

Young Man Afraid of His Horses, a veteran friendly and a Christian.

Hollow Norn Bear, a young chief.

Major George Sword, Chief of Indian Police in the Pine Ridge Agency, who wore the United States regulation uniform.

Clarence Three Stars, an ex-pupil of the Carlisle School.

Lewis Shaugran, a half breed, the interpreter, who has a daughter, a son and niece in the Lincoln Institution. He was a scout in the Bad Lands and is a nephew of Red Cloud.

Rev. Charles S. Cook a full blood Sioux and a clergyman, who has a church in the Pine Ridge Agency, which is now used as a hospital.

After completing their visit to the Institution the redskins and their escort were hospitably entertained by Mrs. J. Bellangee Cox and then proceeded to see the sights of Philadelphia. Wanamakers was the first place they bore down upon and to prevent the shoppers from crowding the curious sightseers Policemen Hatteroth and Conrad Atkinson were in attendance as a guard of honor and protection.
