KU Museum in Dark On 'Comanche' Petition
An aura of mystery surrounds the efforts of a group apparently determined to have the stuffed body of "Comanche," the horse ridden by Gen. Custer in the battle of Little Big Horn, moved from the KU Natural History Museum to Ft. Riley.
Grace Cooper, museum administrative assistant, said that anything the museum administration knew of the group's efforts was what had been reported to it by various people.
"They didn't contact anyone at the museum," she said.
Mrs. Cooper said she had been told that the group had had a petition which they wished to present to the chancellor but said
she didn't know if this had been done.
She added that if the group—whoever it may be—is serious in its efforts to have Comanche moved, it should contact the museum administration to discuss the issue.
Comanche, according to most historical reports, was the lone survivor of the famed battle, "Custer's Last Stand," where Custer and his men were destroyed at the Little Big Horn by Chief Sitting Bull and his warriors.
The horse supposedly returned with 26 arrow and bullet wounds, but lived to be 13 years old.

"Examination of these vouchers," Bickford said, "revealed none of these funds have been used for other than approved purchases."
A state probe ordered by Gov. Robert Docking found that no state money was used by the Black Student Union to purchase ammunition during the July disturbances in Lawrence.
