From the Racine (Wis.) Daily Times:
Those of our citizens who failed to at
tend the concert last night missed rich
treat, and one that is seldom afforded us.
Not that Racine does not have the best of
the amusements that are OH the road, but
in this case, Madame Fry's company hap
pened to be the best of the best. We have
not had so enjoyable an evening in long
time, and this was the feeling Of those
present, as was evinced by their rapturous
applause and frequent encores. 1t is one
of those rare combinations sometimes seen,
that newspaper advertising cannot fully
cover. They advertise themselves by their
work. Madame Fry and her three daugh
ters, Eugenie, Lulu, and Alta, have n good,
friendly, wholesome look They have good
heads and faces. one feels as if they would
like to know them, and enjoy their society
From the opening to the closing they COM
manded the close attention of their
audience. They are correct, pleasing sing
crs and IN usicians of great merit

one be they rich or poor.
Some stores size the customer up
as be enters their door and mans the
price on the boot or shoe accordingly,
if you are judge Of boots and shoes
you may get even, but the chances
are ten to one against you, of having
to pay an extra half dollar on your
shoes that the fellow that just went

chase to even up things (as you see)
they say.
THIRD. We buy direct from the
the manufacturer, others buy from
jobbers or middlemen, we save you
this profit other dealers pay to the
jobber, that extra money we give to
our customers in solid leather, style

Smashed TO Death.
BLACK FEET AGENCY VIA FonT SrAw,
MoNr., Jan. IA courier reached here
last night from Sweet Grass Hills with
news OF y fight that occurred on Wednes-
day last between quartet of Srosventres
and River Grow Indians. The struggle
occurred about rundown on January I'd
on the banks Of Cottonwood creek in the
Fort Hills, three of the reds being killed
outright and the fourth 30 seriously
slashed that he died on Friday night.
It appears that for several months
Spotted Dog, Grosventro brave, had
been paying frequent visits TO a River
Grow squaw in spite Of warnings from
her brother, named Willow, to keep away.
Wednesday, Spotted Dog set out with a
companion on hunting expedition up
Cottonwood creek. The couple were fol-
lowed by Willow and Young half-breed
named Joe Hunks, and when about 80
miles from the Grow camp Willow and
the half-breed caught up with Spotted
Dog and bic companion, and commanded
them to halt. An alteration enBued,
which resulted in challenge from
Spotted Dog to have il out then and
there. The challenge was accepted, and
depositing their guns and blankets on the
bank of the creek they drew their knives
and squared away for the fight. Spotted
Dog and Willow were pitted against each
other, and at the first lunge Willow
buried his knife in the muscle Of his
antagonists right arm, disabling it. The
fight lasted half an hour, and, at its con-
clusion, Spotted Dog, Willow and the
halt-breed, Hunks, we're dead or dying,
and the surviving Grosyentre, bleeding
from several wounds, was barely able to
mount his pony and ride to the camp
where he made known the result OF the
battle, and subsequently died of hit
wounds. More trouble is feared.

he had spent all the money made In large
practice to obtain relief for her incuraole
nalady. They had no children. d.

who claimed to he the owner thereof. After
giving his check 1t occurred to Mr.. Baker
that he had better have clear titls proved,
so II was arranged that the stranger should
show satisfactory evidence of ownership In
the morning, and that, meantime, they
would both sleep In the same house. Sun
day morning MIR. Baker found that his
check had been cashed and that his COM
paniou of the previous night had gone to
parts unknown.
