Fell in Argonne.
Before one of the largest crowds
that ever gathered to witness a
football game in Cottage Grove
Delbert Kelly field was dedicated
Friday afternoon preceding the
game between Cottage Grove high
and Eugene high. The ceremony

was an impressive one. Members
cf the Kelly family were guests of
honor for the occasion and occu­
pied chairs near the center of the
field during the exercises.
The American flag was lowered
to half mazt on the high pole which
had been erected at the grounds
and the crowd stood with bowed
heads while pastor John Linn, of
the Methodist church, opened the
exercises with prayer.
He was
followed by Pastor Duncan P.
Cameron, of the Presbyterian
church, who made the- dedication
address.
Delbert Kelly fell in battle in
the Argonne in 1918. Mr. Cameron
gave a brief resume of the war
and the principals for which Ameri­
can boys fought.
The football
field would occupy a distinct place
in the life of the community, he
said, to honor the memories of the
lads who fell in battle and as a
training place for young manhood,
The band played ' ' The Star
Spangled Banner” and the services
were concluded by singing “My
Country ’Tis of Thee.” Music was
furnished by the Eugene high
school band.
Store» of the city were closed
during the game and the streets
were practically deserted. A num­
ber of stores had attractive win­
dows advertising the game, Colors
of the opposing high schools, foot-
balls and miniature players ar-
ranged in formation made several
attractive displays, Flags placed
on Main street by tho American
Legion gave the day the appear­
ance of a holiday.

A JOB AMP KELP BCAVrffM
resident here:
(By Donegan Wiggins.)
In thiB, our Oregon, there has
been little strife of the sort of
which the states in the eastern
country hold in memory; here in
the Pacific northwest, the land of
the pioneer, white men have not
as a race fought their brethren,
Save the battles of the olden days
with the red men. we have here
no war memories to mull over in
spare moments. No invaders have
come from the foreign ehores to
test our courage and skill at arms,
and may this ever be truo.
But, nevertheless, the past years
of Oregon’s existence have seen at
least five wnrs fought betwixt red
men and white: the Cayuse, Jack
sonville or Rogue River, the Yaki­
ma, the Modock and the Bannock
wars. Each has ended as have
all the struggles of the two races;
the red man's ancestral homO has
passed from hip hands to those
of the Caucasian race; naught re­
mains save the memories of*the
days past.
Of the survivors of the Cayuse
war, there appear to be but two
of the men who marched to the
Tucannon and the Touchet to
avenge the massacres of Dr.
Whitman and his flock; the Yaki­
ma war has but a few narrators
still with us. The Rogue river
struggles are yet vivid in the minds
of both races, for their veterans
still meet yearly to fight over the
battles, as is the case with the
men who fought, both with and
against, Captain Jack in the lava
beds of the Klamath country.
" And of the last war, that of the
raid of the Snake and Bannock
tribeB from Idaho into Oregon, I
write. Many now living recall the
gathering of the ranchers into the
towns, the signal fires on the hills
while riflemen waited at their
posts and women prayed as they
clutched their babies to their
breasts; old timers tell of the
funerals of the victims of the raid.
Of all the alarms and struggles
of that summer of Beventy-eight,
perhaps the fight of the Umatilla
guards under Captain Sperry at
Willow Springs is the most des­
perate, aid the following tale, as
told to the writer by one of the
participants of the affair, may be
taken as a reliable account. Inso-
far can be learned, this is the
first detailed account to be pub­
lished in recent years; newspaper
stories being apparently the only
other documents dealing with the
fight.
The Bannock tribe, angered by
what they considered mistreatment
by the agents of the government,
left their reservation in Idaho,
and joined by some Snake and
Piute Indians, the latter from
Nevada, came over the border of
Oregon during the month of June,
1878, and proceeded to kill, steal
and burn, as has been the custom
of savages, both red and white,
since Miles Standish landed on
Plymouth rock and primed his
snap-haunce for war.
The regular army was of course
called out, and did nobly, but
could bo only at best a police force,
due to the enormous scope of coun
try to be covered, so many volun­
teer bands of riflemen, mostly
mounted as cavalry, were formed.)
The only two companies so raised
of whom the names have been re­
ealled to the writer were Robbin’s
Rangers, aid the Umatilla Guards,
of whom thin story tells.
The command was raised at Pilot
Rock, and commanded by Captain
J. L. Sperry, with Dr. Oglesby as
1st lieutenant and J. C. Lamar
2nd lieutenant. The men of the
