Ben Macintaush, known as Cur
ley, the Crow" the only survivor of
the Custer Indina Massacre in 1876
is in Phoebe mad win give lectS<e
tomorrow evening at Thompson's
Opera house
The following taken from an Ore
gon exchange, refers to his lecture
in this manner:
Mr. Mackantaush was employed
as scout by Custer on the day Gus
ter and his command met their
death and had been under Custer
for ten years previous to that time.
He witnessed every charge made
during the battle and the manner
in which he describes the events
leading up to and following the bat
tie convinces one of. the absolute
truthfullness of his statements.
The real object of Mr.. Mackans
taush's address was not so much to
lracountthe Indian wars and troubles
with the government as it was the
nature of plan for state rights for
the Indian. He told how the Indian
had been treated and how he was be-
ing treated today and his speech was
IA powerful plea for the rights OF
citizenship for the Indian the same
as the ordinary citizen and the nel
groes exercise"

KEEP THE CHRISTMAS
SHOPPING DOLLAR IN TOWN

Don't let the Christmas shopping
dollar get out OF town. It's as plain
as the piiestaff that the dollar you
take out Of town seldom comes back
II you spend a dollar in your town
it stays here 1t circulates in the
community 1t is living thing.
The dollar goes to the butcher, the
laker. 1t goes to the printer. The
local merchant with whom you spend
1t pays it out for wages. 1t makes
for the individual well being 1t
makes for the community well being
Therefore circulate your Christ
mas dollar in town. Be community
builder. 1t might be well to empha-
size the fact that you cannot do any
better out Of town than you can right
here with your local merchants.
With that fact confronting you
why hesitate about spending your
Christmas dollars with the home
merchants? With a few exceptions
the home merchants are progressive
and part of the community in which
you live and in which you are vital
ly Interested. They'll give you value
received for every dollar you spend
Besides they'll circulate that dol
lar OF. yours in town. 1t will stay
here. If You take it out you are il
1uring your neighbor. You are in
juring yourself.
Circulate your dollar here.
Do your Christmas shopping in th
nome stores and those who carry dis
p'oy ads in the home newspaper cal
be relied on.

Young Critic Cleperest
Boxer in Rings History

fiths. and he was born in Sydney, Aus.
tralia. about forty-four years ago. His
imitation INTO the ring was as bare
knucile fighter. and he whipped lots Of
good men when he was only q kid. From
the first he was so clever that few box
ers could land on him. although Dan
Crecdon, afterward a famous middle
weight, succeeded in giving Critic a
caCllflower ear. Griffo came to America
in 1893. and did his first fishtlnk & in
Chicago. There he fought draws with
Tommy White and Solly Smith. and then
went to New York and fought a draw
with George Lavigne. He defeated Ike
Weir at Boston, and Billy Murphy in
the same city. He first met Dixon in
four-round bout in Philadelphia, end
ing in a draw. His only defeat was at
the hands Of Jack McAuiiffe, tho Light
weight champion, who got the decision
In ten-round battle. He fought three
draws In all with Dixon. a second draw
with Lavigne. and met Joe Cans in Bal
tir1ore with the same result. In 1897
dissipation began to get his goat and
he lost decisions to Cans and Adam
Ryan. but II was not the real Grtffo,
but u shadow OF the old boxer, who
fought those bouts.
After quitting the ring Critic hit the
down trail. and the last the writer heard
OF him he was guest OF New York city
