KILLED GEN. CUSTER
RAIN-IN-THEFAcE CONF Ess Ed
THAT HE FIRED SHOT WHICH
ENDED BRILLIANT LIFE.
Miss Mary c. Collins, Formerly Of
keokuk and Now Missionary at
Standing Rock Agency In South Da-
kota, Tells Of the Confession of the
Aged Warrior.

The long dispute as to who fired the
shot that killed General Custer, June
25, 1876, has been settled. 1t was
generally agreed that. Rain-in-the -Face,
who recently died in Little Eagle,i,S S.
D., was the. one, but Miss Mary G.
Collins, formerly of Keokuk, and now
superintendent of Indian work
at the Standing Rock agency in South
Dakota, is the first person to positive.
ly assert that such was the case. The
old time warrior made the confession
to Miss Collins, who was intimately
acquainted with him.
Miss Collins says:
"His right name was Chase-the-Ene.
my. In childhood he had smallpox
and was marked SO that they gave, him
nickname Rain-in-the-Face. His
fathers name was Bear Face.
"Rain-in-the-Face was a gentle, kind.
hearted man and strong and fearless
warrior. l cared for him all summer
and he was very fond of me as his
missionary and talked very fully with
me. He said: When I am dead, tell
them / never knew fear; I have nc
fear now. I never did a cowardly
deed
Says He Killed Custer.
II asked him if he killed Custer and
he replied, What will they do to me
If tell you the truth?' said to him
do not fear. they will not hurt you
now He said, Yes l killed him.

Custer and he said that he did not
asked him If he cut either of them
and he replied that he did not have
time, as he was busy killing and wher
they had killed all they ran away. He
added that he had five horses sho
under him and when he left he tool

HE said he he did not murder thu

that he only killed in war.
"He said one day, after l had rea

"He passed away peacefully AM
quietly," concluded Miss Collins.

1t is to his ability of writing terse

conjunction with Gustav Luders COM

The New FiSke Star

Much has been said lately about Ber-
tina Kalich, New York actress, who.
in the dearth of good things during the
last metropolitan season, rose to ex-
traordinay heights of popularity. She
has been taken under the wing of Fiske
and will be presented next season at
his Manhattan theater. Concerning her
James Huneker says in the Metropoli-
tan Magazine:
Bertha Kalich's cardinal virtues and
defects are temperament-not profound
ly emotional, rather shrill; good pres
ence-she is tall, not graceful, though
alert as a panther; she lacks distinc-
ton; an expressive mask which she
never allows TO remain in rest Ga grave
error); a voice thin and acid in the top
register. but full of color In the middle
and lower tones. Her eyes are express
i've, yet the glance is seldom winning.
LAS for her absence of beauty, that is
something she can remedy, for she has
the mimetic faculty remarkably devel-
oped. She has been trained in a com
monplace school; rather she is deficient
in academic training altogether, A IA
vorite with her audiences, she has had

New Musical Club

A new musical organization has been
formed and it is called THE Artists
Lyric Operatic club" and will soon give
it's initial work in presenting Gou-
mods Faust with caste including
Estelle Katherine Heart as "Siebel,"
Maud Reese Davies as "Margarita,"
Formosa Henderson as Martha"
John Douglass Walker as Faust, y
Harry H. Barnhardt as "Mephistophe-
ies," and William James Chick as
valentine" The musical director and
conductor is Signor Jaunotta. All of
these artists are in the work for the ex-
perience it will give them and to in
crease their knowledge of operatic
work
After the first Faust" production
the aim of the club is to give hearty
welcome to all professional singers and
vocal teachers to join the club and ar
range for a series of operatic events
throughout the season. Talented pupils
of different vocal teachers will be taken
in as understudies and the work will
undoubtedly add much to the musical
life of Los Angeles.

enough to believe in the actress born,
not made. The manufactured article,
like the manufactured play, we always
have with us. Now Bertha Kalich may
or may not have studied Sarah Bern
hardt-yet her exposition of Fedora
was much more in the key of Sarah

lutely nothing of Duse in her work. The
Polish woman is deficient in charm and
subtlety, not alone in Fedora" but in
all her impersonations. Give her
mouther--as Flaubert calls it--and she
responds to the tips of her long, thin
and uncanny fingers, and to the top of
her excellent lungs. She is all move

fire, without heat. Hers is not yet a

self"
