Gretna during the Red Men's recent convention here, was witnessed by thousands of people and that it was duly appreciated is evidenced by the manner in which the entertainment became noised over the country.

Kleiser, treasurer of the 1902 committee, inquiring how the production ______ be secured ______ their home. On July 12, the tribe gives its regular annual reunion and outing and some of the members who attended the convention here were so "stuck" on the production that they desire to produce it there. John White, the chief of the records, however, was notified that the musical score and general pantomime features were the property of Prof. Tyrrell, band master of the Perse Band and could only be had from him. The tribe, however, seem to be determined to have the production, for yesterday Prof. Tyrrell received a telegram asking him whether the musical score could be had or if not what the band will charge to produce the "Campaign" at the reunion. Prof. Tyrrell at once made reply by wire, stating the prices of the band and it is more than likely that the favor and the band be engaged.
