she won a veritable ovation, especially
after a Spanish song by Palahelhe.-

There has been considerable in the
sporting papers the present winter with
regard to A. r.. T. Doc Hillebrand.
Hillebrand is tied up to Washington,
but would like to get away aud play
with the Pittsburg National league team
with which his brother, Homer, is con.
nected. Washington has a claim on
"Doc' that he cannot get away from.
Recently Jake Stahl, of the Washing.
ton team, passed through Sioux Falls on
his way to Webster, where he had a
conference with Doc but could not
induce him to join the Senators. Before
the recent meeting of the national COM
mission doc" tried to have his con
tract with Washington set aside, but
the national board held against him,
and, as a consequence, Doc will play
with Washington, or will have to seek
work in the outlaw league.-Argus-
Leader.

burned to death in a lodging house fire

had engaged a there. When the
fire broke out, she tried to escape, but
found the stairs cut off, and returning
to her room, she fell unconscious on
the floor and waf fatally burned. She
was o. acquainted with the building
or she could have been saved. The
body was taken to the morgue and will
be claimed by her relatives.-Minne-
apolis Journal, Thursday. The above
party, it is feared, Is no other than the
Alta Hutchinson who had charge of the
millinery department of The Fair last
spring. A telegram received in Webs
ter just as we go TO press confirms the
suspicion that it was the lady who was
formerlv emDloved here.
