Indians at the Princess Tonight.

Indian Vaudeville will be the feature tonight at the Princess theatre. The company consists of Sioux and Cherokee Indians, Chief Ogalala Fire, who is now 87 years old and is the last survivor of the 6,000 Indians that actually took part in the famous Custer Battle. The Chief will lecture on that terrible massacre at each performance Princess Wauema, a full blooded Cherokee Indian princess, daughter of Chief Swift Panther (who was leader of a band of about twp hundred braves who are held to account for many scalps of people who attempted to cross the frontier in the early days) will entertain with Indian songs and tribal dances. Miss Charlotte Codding, who has been in charge of the Monnett School for Girls for some time, will leave this afternoon for St, Louis, Mo., where she will be identified with the Epworth Evangelical Institute. Her place here will be taken by Miss Grace Findley, who was with the school, on one previous occasion. ~Jk
