X11K MUK.Mau OKKUOXIA.K, FKIDAY, MARCH 15, lOT. I EDWARDS TO BE DEPOSED Indians Tell Harsh Tales of Conduct of Agent of Uma tilla Reservation. W. L THOMPSON ALSO OUT Office Official Guardian Is Abol ished Inspector Davis Made Complete Examination of the Charge Against Edwards. THNDtETON'. Or,. March 14. (Special.) That Major O. C. awards, agent of the Umatilla Indian reservation, will lose his official head as a result of the investiga tion conducted by Inspector Charles U lMvis. is believed in Pendleton by every one at all familiar with the course affairs have taken during the last few days. Before leaving for Yakima today. In spector Davis announced that an order abolishing the office of guardian for all Indian heirs had been issued in con nection with the Umatilla reservation, and that hereafter the agent would prob ably act as guardian. This means that W. L.. Thompson has lost his position as official guardian for minor Indians here on the reservation. Testimony of the most damaging char acter against Edwards and Thompson, and especially against Kdwards. was given by leading Indians during the clos ing hours of the council, which has been in session for a week and was called by the Inspector in order to give the Indians i a chance to present formally their griev- j ances and complaints. Kdwards Makes No Defense. Newspaper representatives were barred from the sessions of the council, but Joe Craig, who. acted as interpreter and who ts regarded as the best educated and most reliable Indian on the reservation, came to town last evening and talked freely concerning the things that were said and done at the council. According to Craig, Kdwards was unable to secure a single Indian to go on the wltnes stand and offer any contradiction ' to the mass of testimony -against htm. or make any de fense for him whatever, while chiefs and the leading men of all three tribes were vehement In their denunciation of his character and actions. Among the things testilled to were drunkenness, repeated acts of cruelty, overhearing treatment, wrongful with holding of rental money and attempts to defraud the Indians of their land. Craig. In addition to being the interpreter, gave In perhaps the most damaging testimony rf all. ns he had been very friendly with Thompson and Edwards and claimed to "he on the Inside." He testified to hav ing been offered $150 by Thompson and by George Porringer if he would se sure the signature of an Indian woman to a deed for her land. Craig also stated last evening that he was recently of fered 250 by Thompson to stand up for him a.m. Bdwards during the progress of the Investigation. Edwards Was Often Drunk. Several Indians testified to seeing the agent on the reservation in a state of intoxication. Julia Small Hawk told of seeing him come home from town one day when he was so drunk that he could not guide his horses, and they hung up on a cottonwood tree, one horse going on one side and one on the other. Two other Indian women testified to meeting Kdwards on another occasion when he was coming home drunk, while another told how he shot at her dog one day when lie was drunk, and how one bullet passed through her tepee. Joe and Billy Craig both testified to seeing the agent drunk and in several instances named the time and the place. Other prominent Indians who gave strong testimony against the agent were Captain Sumpkins. the most eloquent In dian on the reservation. Chief No Shirt. l"ma Pine. Yum Sumpkins. Charley Small Hawk, Red Elk and Amos Pond. One of the most touching scenes at the council was an Indian woman with tears streaming from her eyes as she told how Major Kdwards had come to her tepee and taken her and her little girl, who was sick and unable to go to the school, !o the Indian Jail and left them locked up all night, and she gave it as her belief that it was as a result of this treatment that the little girl soon 'after died. Look l"p His Yakima Record. Davis practically completed his inves tigations here yesterday and went to 1 akima today, to investigate the conduct of Major Kdwards when he was over there after Indian pupils last Fall, at which time he was arrested and lined $100 for resisting and threatening an offi cer. Davis will return to Pendleton Mon day. but he lias told the Indians that he Will not hold any further council. Major Kdwards had Insisted all along liurlng the course of the council which has Just closed that he be given an oppor tunity to Introduce witnesses and to dis prove the charges and statements made against hlni. but when the time came for him to do so. and he was given the op l.ortunity. he brought forth no witnesses snd had nothing to say himself. Having failed to make a defense at that time. lavis told the Indians that he could not be allowed to do so later, as he had had the privilege of being present and hearing what they had to say and that he would not be given a chance to say anything against their statements when they could not be present to henr It. It is generally understood here that Kd wards wanted to resign some time ago, and that he will now be allowed to do so, instead of being discharged.

TRAP IS SPRUNG ON TEN GAMBLERS Walla Walla Sports Indicted Under Felony Gam bling Law. WORK OF CIVIC LEAGUE Church People Quietly Collect Evi dence and Capture Seven of Ten , Accused Crusade Threat ens Wealthy -Citizens. WALLA WALLA. Wash., March 14. (Special.) One- of the greatest sensations n the history of Walla Walla was sprung today when warrants for the arrest of ten men. who were charged with violating the anti-gambling law, were placed in the hands of Sheriff Haviland for sen-ice. Among the men informed against by Prosecuting Attorney Rupp are: Charles Maguire. Percy Valden. Ed Smalley. W. Findlay Jones. Mike Smith, Andy Evans. Fagan Scott. Ras. Kees. O. Cardlment and Jack Hayden., . With the exception of Cardiment. Scott and Smith, all the men were taken into custody and placed under JoOO cash boniis. It has not been possible so far to locate the three missing men and it is said they got a tip from some source and fled the state before action could be taken. Kees is a brother of A. Frank Kees, the deposed warden of the penitentiary. 1 he gamblers have been plying their trade in this city in the most open man ner for a long time and although a few rumblings ot the coming earthquake have been heard occasionally, no notice was taken of the warning and the games went serenely on. Even as early as last November there was talk of asking Judge Brents to impanel a grand jury and make searching inquiry into the gambling situation, but action was postponed until today. Exactly who or what is responsible for the present .raid is not known, but it is supposed that the crusade began some months ago when a Civic League was formed consisting of members of the different churches in the city. They, it appears, went at their work with the utmost care, hired detectives and con sulted counsel, but in spite of their efforts to keep the matter entirely quiet some of the gamblers got wind of their plans in time to save themselves. It is not expected that the crusad? will end with thenien in custody, for it is well known that men of wealth and standing are menaced with the law and that some of those arrested are being depended upon to furnish the. evidence necessary for their conviction. More startling events are expected at any moment. "" Gambling is a felonv in the State or Washington and punishable by imprison ment in the penitentiary. FORM VAUDEVILLE CIRCUIT Alexander .
