Suesine Silk Per Yard 50c
Come in and see Suesine Silk
IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO ATTRACTIVE THAT NO WOMAN WHO
SEES IT CAN ESCAPE ITS CHARM. THAT IS WHY WE WANT YOU
TO SEE IT.
The minute you glance at Suesine, you will say: "What lovely ma
terial for dresses and waists." And you are right. Rich, inexpensive it
is just the fabric for indoors and out; for daytime and evening.
The colors are exquisite ? gorgeous and sparkling, dainty and delicate.
Full 27 inches wide.
Yes, Indeed, Suesine has all the beauty of China Silk ? but wears better
because it isn't. And Suesine costs about half the price of China Silk,
which means that you can have two dresses of Suesine Silk for the prico
you would pay for one of China.
Twelve yards for a dress ? only $5. Think of it!
We have sold ever so many yards of Suesine ? and have never had a sing
le complaint. That/s how good it is!
It is certainly the best and finest and most beautiful silk that we have
ever seen for 50c a yard.
Come in and see Suesine ? please, do.
FIRST MURDER
IN IDITAROO
Meagre details of the first murder :
in the Iditarod are published in th<>
News-Miner at Fairbanks under date !
of Dec. 7, as follows:
"Although it has not as yet been ;
learned whether the man who shot
the Finlander in the Iditardd coun
try was Felix Boucher, well known
Dawson and Fairbanks miner who left,
for the Iditarod last summer, further
details of the shooting were wired to
day to the News-Miner by Jack Bairil '
from Nulato. Baird learned of th<' |
shooting at Diskakek.
"According to Baird the Finlander
and his partner were working ground :
on Willow creek. Boucher, who hail j
not yet struck pay was sinking a
hole on a fraction of the Finn's j
claim and was living in a tent. The :
Finn struck pay, so armed with an ;
axe he went to Boucher's tent and
ordered him off the ground. Boucher j
left but later returned and continued '
to work in his shaft, caching his
rifle near where he was.
"The Finn returned next day and
ordered Boucher out of the shaft at ,
the same time brandishing the axe,
which he had with him in a threat
ening manner. Boucher came up
out of the shaft and tried to reason
with the Finn, but fearing bodily
harm he procured his rifle. He then
backed away from his assailant,
warning him not to come closer.
"The Finn, however, paid no heed
to the warning, but continued to ap
proach toward Boucher. This was in
dicated by the marks of footprints
noticed in the snow by prospectors
who afterwards came to tho scene of
the affair.
"When the Finlander continued to
approach, Boucher fired, blowing the
entire side of the mans head off.
"Boucher was turned loose, Baird
says, but whether by a miner's meet
ing or after preliminary hearing be
foro Commissioner Bruhn, is not in
dicated."
