THEATRICAL GOSSIP
The Era (London, England), Saturday, August 29, 1891; Issue 2762.
Paul "Eagle Star", one of Colonel Cody's Indians, died on Monday at the Sheffield Infirmary, from an accident which befell him whilst the Wild West Show was on a visit to that town. He and a number of other Indians were riding in the arena when his horse swerved against a part of the hoarding. "Egale Star" sustained a compound fracture of his leg, one of the fractures being close to the ankle. For a time he made favourable progress, but lockjaw set in, and from this he died. Mr Crager, Colonel Cody's chief interpreter, sat up with him the whole of Sunday night, and he was visited also by "Short Bull," one of the Indian chiefs. The deceased was a Brule Sioux Indian, twenty-five years of age, and was a prisoner of war, having taken part in the last Indian rising. He was married. His wife and children are living in the Rosebud Agency, United States.
