turn the Indians eastward should they
try to escape. The program was that
tho forces of General Terry were to
meet General Clusters regiment on
June 20 at the junction Of the Little
and the Big Horn. General Custer and
his command rode all night and thus
arrived at the rendezvous ahead of
time.
The Indians, 5000 strong, were
camped in the canyon-like valley. Gen.
eral Custer decided to attack at once
and with his usual impetuosity he pro-
ceeded. He divided his command into
three details and. taking five compan-
ions. went on with the attack. 1t is
generally believed that he had no idea
of the great number of the Indians.

Captain Renteen We're ordered to at
tack from different points. and Custer
himself rode into the center of the foe.
Closer and closer drew the Indian
circle. An hour had passed, and the
sun was creeping down to the western
hills. A Crow scout, one of Clusters
men. having disguised himself as a
Sioux. gained his side and offered him
opportunity of escape. He refused it.
Many of the fighting warriors that
knew him well called on him to sur
render. His answer was to fight the
more bitterly.
Surrender? Custer never knew the
meaning Of the word. Live when his
men were dead? He did not know
what such a thing meant. Out from a
defle came a puff Of smoke. the ring
OF a rifle shot. a fash Of fame. and the
colonel of the Seventh had gone to his
eternal rest. Not n man in the entire
command survived to tell the story of
the fight.

hacked to pieces in a three-cornered
razor fight, the bodies of Charles
Gagliona and Paul Kollis we're found

Alley.
The officers were led to the place
where the fight occurred by two 16-
year-old girls, who saw the battle,
and over whom, 1t is alleged, the
quarrel which ended in the fight
started. The third contestant, whose
name the police have not ascertained,
is being sought.
The fight was desperate one. Evil
dence of the struggle was found at
the entrance to tho alley, where the
three men had shacked and slashed
at each other. The bodies of the two
victims were found little way up
the alley.
A trail of blood splotches leading
from the place makes the police be-

HALLBERG
ANNOUNCES
OPENING
FIRE SALE BEGINS THURSDAY
AND CONTINUES ALL THIS
WEEK AT STORE ON LIBERTY
STREET.

About month ago a damaging
fire occurred at Hallberg's, on Lib
erty street, in the early hours of
Sunday morning. fire that threat
ened complete destruction of one of
Salem's newest and finest dry goods
stores. Happily the fire department
got the flames under control sum-
cIently. as it appears, to save many
thousands of dollars of valuable
merchandise.
The insurance companiesS through
their appraisers, came to an agree
ment with Mr.. Hallberg upon the
valuation of the salvage stock. Mr..
Hallberg's announcement In another
section of this issue tells its own
story. The publicNhas been waiting
for the announcement of the fire
sale that will unquestionably prove
of more than usual interest.
Fire sales are always more or less
alluring-in this sale it is forecasted
that there will be exceptional oppor-
tunities of acquiring merchandise
not obtained readily every day in
ordinary sales merchandising.
