We may yet go back to Chicago covered with glory." We struck the trail going north, but as we had not come out on a scout for Indians, we concluded not to follow them; although Milligan was now very anxious to proceed and clean them out.
The hunt came to an end in a day or two, and we escorted the visiting hunters to North Platte, where they took the train for Chicago.

Before their departure they extended to me a very cordial invitation to come to their city on a visit, promising that I should be well taken care of.
Soon after this I had the pleasure of guiding a party of gentlemen from Omaha on a buffalo hunt.

Among the number were Judge Dundy, Colonel Watson B.Smith, and U.S.District Attorney Neville.

We left Fort McPherson in good trim.

I was greatly amused at the "style" of Mr.
Neville, who wore a stove-pipe hat and a swallow-tail coat, which made up a very comical rig for a buffalo hunter.
