White River.

Special Correspondence.
CANT ON WHITE RIVER, Jan. S-The
killing Of Lieut.. Z. W. Casey, 22nd in
fAntry, commanding Cheyenne scouts, was
most cowardiv and brutal. The lieuten
ant left his camp, which is three miles
from here. about ll:S0 yesterday morn
ing. accompanied BY two Of his scouts, to
go into the hostiles camp and talk with
Red Cloud, who is q friendly Indian being
held by the hostiles. The scouts I'm
plored Casey not to go, as did a friendly
squaw from the hostile camp, as it meant
certain death, but go he would, paying no
heed to 'their entreaties. The scouts re-
fused to accompany him further than
within about a mile aud a half Of the
camp. -Four Indians, appearing to be
friendly rode up to him and asked
him for a cigarette. which he
willingly gave them. They rode side
by side for a short distance, then the In
dams began to fall back. Casey becom-
ing suspicious Of their movements, turned
back. Just as he turned, one of the
bucks dismounted and shot poor Casey,
the ball entering back of the right ear,
passing out through the left cheek bone.
Lieut.. Getty, 22nd infantry, also with
scouts, went out last evening with thnty
men aud got the body. Everything was
taken from Casey except his cont and
vest, which was left on him. The above
is the account of the murder" as told me
BY White Moon, the scout, who started
out with Casey and the last to leave him.
Lieut.. Casey's body was shipped to
Washington. D. C.. this morning.

Black the Heels of Your Boots

One day, when | was in college, | heard
young lady say: II don't think much Of
college fellows"
To my xuery as to to the grounds of SC
singular an opinion, she replied:
''They do not black the heels of theil
boots"
When protested that that charge could
could not be true Of them all, she re.
sponded:
'Oh, no, suppose not; but the excep-
most of them only black the front part OF
lars and cuffs"
What does it indicate when the heels of
boots are not BACKED? The boy is not
thorough He only does what he is forced
to do. Is he thought he would muster
among people if he did not black his
boots at all, they never would be black
ened.
Boys laugh at girls, and say they pay
the boys like to see their sisters with soiled
collars, buttons off their boots, a ruffie
hanging on their dress? 1t is the evil
dence of a true gentleman or true lady
when the clothing worn is in order
and suitable to the occasion.
Dress and the way it is worn is an indi
cation of character If the heels of the
boots are BACKED. you may be pretty sure
that the boy or man is thorough In what
ever he undertakes. He learns his les
sons, not because he must, but because he
desires to learn. When he is sent to
clean up the garden, he rakes the dead
roots and vines in a pile for burning; there
are no stray piles hidden in the bushes
near the fence He blacks the heels of his
boots.

liver complaint, is fully corroborated by the self
