Indians Dying of Smallpox.

Suiter of La Crosse, member of the state board of health, state that unless something is done to stamp out the smallpox which has again attacked the tribe of Winnebago Indians on the reservation near Black River Falls, and scattered on private farms between there and La Crosse, half of the once great tribo will be wiped out in a short time.
