Search For Mrs. Abe
Racine Unsuccessful

| Though continued search has
been carried Oh for several weeks
the body of Mrs. Evelyn Spanish
Racine. who disappeared in the
vicinity OF Dupuyer Sunday
night, August s, has not been re-
covered.
New evidence that s h was
murdered developed when Andy
! Whitford. brother-in-law Of the
missing woman, searching along
an area four miles further south
of where some of her clothing
was first discovered, found her
shoes and purse in an old building
of stock ranch. The property
is in an out-of-the.way section.
, The recovered articles had been
carelessly buried beneath some
dry stock manure, indicating that
murderers were operating hastily
n d without master crime"
technique in trying to obliterate
traces of their crime.
Previous clothing found in
gopher holes early last week in
cluded a green dress. underwear
and stockings. In the later find,
according to officers. there were
! traces of blood upon the purse.
The shoes, of brownish color, are
said to have been scuffed as to
indicate that Mrs. Racine had
been dragged some distance.
Searching parties this week ex-
tended their activities to h
rugged sections tow ards Heart
Butte. some using saddle horses.
Acting on the theory hat
neither Abe Racine, husband of
It h missing woman, nor his
brother Aaron. who arein custody
of Glacier and Pondera County
officers, may continue their sill
ence indefinitely, efforts are be-
in g made to substantially 10
crease the number of searchers
that greater area may be covered
intensively b e ore inclement
weather sets in.
The husband, who is confined
in the Pondera Jail at Conrad,
though confronted t i'm and
again with situations that SEEM
ingly would cause a person of
finer fabric to break down, con-
tinues to insist that he is inno-
cent of crime in his wife's dis
appearance. His mien IS cold
and calculating, showing more
interest in the rolling of a Gig
arctic than in the welfare o f
family. which includes four small
children, the oldest being seven.
His brother, Aaron, who is in
the county jail at Cut Bank. Of
ficers believe. will be the first to
crack.
Visited BY former Deputy
County Sheriff Ionic Goss Of
Browning Monday afternoon, he
8 said t o have wept bitterly
when Goss questioned him.
Goss pointed out that in justice
to those who by blood are near
and dear to him, he should make
a clean breast o what h e
knew. Goss explained that he
stood to get the extreme punish.
ment if he permitted himself to
remain inarticulate when loved
ones of his brothers wife were
in the valley of the shadow.
Racine is said to have been on
the verge of saying something,
when his countenance hardened
and he remained silent.
He gripped Goss' hand firmly
when they parted n d asked
Goss if he would visit him again
if he were asked to.

Reiss' Indian Portraits
Exhibited at Museum

$4,000
. (By John C. Ewers, CURATOR
The current exhibition of orig
inal portraits of Blackfeet In
dams by the noted artist, Winold
Reiss, at the Museum of h e
Plains Indian, should be of inter,
est to everyone. Subjects of the
portraits are Indians of the Black
feet Reservation familiar to all of
us.
Included in the series of strik-
ing portraits are Rides at the
Door, veteran of the intertrihal
war; Fly ing Higher, son Of Theo-
dore Last Star; Big Bear, noted
story teller, Yellow Owl n d
baby; George Bull Child, well
known craftsman; Tom Spotted
Eagle; Crow Chief. instructor at
the Sun Dance this summer, and
Mrs. Cree Medicine, aged woman
of the tribe.
T h e portraits on exhibition
were selected by Mr.. Reiss from
among those executed by him in
Browning tn 8 summer. 1t is
their first public showing. 1t is
regretted that space limitations
prevent the exhibition of larger
number of portraits at this time.
Mr.. Reiss has worldwide re-
putation as interpreter of tn e
Blackfeet in form and color. He
ranks as the ablest contemporary
painter of the American Indian.
Mr.. Reiss studied at the famed
Royal Academy in Munich, and
under his father. Fritz Reiss,
we'll known painter Of peasant
types of the Black Forest. H
came to America in 1913, and six
years later began painting por-
traits of the Blackfeet Indians.
Since then he has returned many
tim 8 to this region to record on
canvas and drawing board the
appearances af the Blackfeet In
dams of this reservation and of
the North Piegan, Blood n d
North Blackfeet Reservations in
Alberta. Through his work he
has helped to make the Blackfeet
Indians rank among h e best
known of the North American
tribes.
Mr.. Reiss' portraits display
remarkable combination of real
ism in facial characteristics and
decorative treatment of costume
detail and overall composition.
His portraits are appreciated by
students of the Indian for their
authenticity as we'll as their artis-
tic quality.
Blackfeet portraits by WinolG
Reiss have bee exhibited in
many European galleries as well
as in the museums and art gal
leries Of the United States. They
have been published as book ILL
ustrations, as illustrations for the
weil-known art calendars of the
Great Northern Railway, and as
full color separate plates. When
it came to the selection of sub
ject for the dust jacket of DR..
Paul Radin's outstanding volume,
The Story of the America it
was Winold Reiss' portrait o f
Weasel Head. Blackfeet medicine
man, that was chosen.
1t is indeed an honor for the
Museum of the Plains Indian to
be able to present during the
month of September. an eXhibi.
ton of the BlacKfeet Indian por-
traits OF Winold Reiss.

Miller Higgins, who guided the

The will to win Is important, of

day racing week int he i0-year his
tory Of the course last Monday. The
track will be closed Good Friday in
observance Of the religious holiday.
Racing will resume Saturday,
when the Bristol Handicap, $500
sprint feature Of the week, Is down
for decision. The late spring at
Narragansett has resulted In several
Of the fastest sprinters Of the
grounds being backward In their
training, and many horses that were
unable to make the issue In the
Spring Handicap on opening day,
or which started and failed TO show
top form, should be ready for the
six-furlong Bristol.
1t is highly likely that Mrs. A.

In Saturdays contest, despite the
fact that he went in the mile and
a sixteenth Roger williams Handi-
cap recently. Through Bound has
shown In the past that he has an
exceptionally high burst Of speed
over short distances.
Mt. Desert Stables Par Avlon,
winner Of the Spring Han
dicap is another Roger Williams en-

He won the opening day dash in Inn

Speedsters
Medid, Time o. War and Madi-
CANA, all crack sprinters appeared
In the Spring Handicap and met
defeat. This trio, having trained
steadily since, should show vast inn
provement In the Bristol.
Bridleour Is another highly re-
garded sprinter here which has been
backward In her training and has
been unable to get to the post. 1t
Is likely that she will be ready by

nard. Navy, champion of the
Charlestown meeting last December,
has failed thus far to return his
early winter form, but can be ex-
pected among the nominations for
the Bristol, which close on Wed.
nesday.

There Is some chance that Mer-

The enthusiasm Of Uncle SANS cit

also should warn the Axis that the
United states Is taking the war In
stride, even though that stride Is
mighty big.
Considering the pan-American
angles of the Washington opening,
we note that "a President Roose-

cause he was doing some important
pitching down Mexico way: ca Vice
President Wallace, likewise was UNI

The value Of major league base

Like Baseball
Most Latin American countries
are extremely baseball conscious.
Millions Of fans in Mexico, Puerto

Of our major league pennant races
with the same enthusiasm as our

themselves 50 proficiently that they
have sprinkled our minor leagues

some Of their stars up TO the majors.
Right now there are five Latins In
