Only Two Weeks Since Cir
cuit Court Adjourned
But Docket Is Rapid
ly Filling. 1
With less than two weeks elapsed
since the May term of the circuit
court completed its work, there
are already 14 criminal cases on
the docket including one murder
charge. Aside from the latter and
four indictments returned by the
grand jury, for which warrants
were served at Bend, the balance
of the case are prosecutions for
horse and cattle stealing.
A week ago there was consider
able talk of holding an extra ses
sion of the circuit court in June,
but inasmuch as there are several
warrants in larceny cases still to
be served, it is not thought best to
convene the court in extra session
until the state has completed its
labors in arresting all of those
against whom charges of stock
rustling have been preferred. In
the event that Richard Roe and
John Doe whose nan.eo now appear
on several warrants, are gathered
into the coils of the law within
reasonable length of time, it
probable, that circuit court will
convene again before - the
regular October term. Two of the
men wanted in the stock cases are
at present in other counties; one
of them is serving time in the
Fossil jail, and the other lies in
Canyon City suffering from
broken leg.
The trial of Corbett Holt, the
Indian who killed John Stakony,
the Warm Springs chief of. police
a week ago, is Jikely to bring out
some interesting bits of testimony
regarding the savage superstitions
prevalent among the Warm Spring
tribes and which it is stated are
directly responsible for the bruta
murder committed near Madras
last week.
Several years ago several child
ren belonging to Pat, the chief of
he Warm Springs, were attending
the government school at the
Agency. The confinement, in
cident to the pursuit of their
tudies, brought sickness .among
the chief's family, and he employ
an Indian medicine man
last week, or merely a superstitious
desire to put out of the way, as
Pat had done, a man who could
do nothing but bring him trouble
and sorrow, are matters which
will be brought out clearly in the
trial. That he killed Stakony in
the most brutal way is a revoltiog
feature of the case, but the in
stigating cause, so fraught with
savage superstitions, is a matter
likely to prove of interest, to those
who hear the testimony.

effect a cure on one of his boys
who waB dangerously ill.' "For
several days the medicine man
abored with his witchcraft in an
effort to restore health to the
dying Indian, but the boy finally
died and the father, angered by
the thoughts of the close school
work which he said had taken
bealth from one of his family, and
the failure of the medicine man to
keep life in the boy, killed the
Indian practitioner. Then he took
the rest of his children but of
school. ,
Corbett Holt also has a large
family of children. Not long ago
all of them were learning American
ways in the government school;
but the close rooms, " Corbett
thought, were detrimental to their
bodily welfare. Being familiar
with the fatal results in Pat's
family he prepared to take his
children out of the white man's
keeping, and his superstitions were
thoroughly aroused when several
of his children died before he could
take them back to the outdoor life
and the wigwam. After that no
reason that Uncle Sam's employes
could give could change the plans
of Holt.
He took his family back to the
tepee and for a time was happy
Then the school authorities decid
ed that Corbett's children must
receive the education which makes
them sturdy American men and
women, and John Stakony, the
Indian chief of police, was detailed
to force Holt to brine his children
back to the school.

The state land board issued the
following orders this afternoon:
It is ordered that in case of the
tender of any payment of prin
cipal or interest on any of the
certificates included in the list
alleged by the Marion county
grand jury to . be issued upon
fraudulent application, it shall not
be accepted until ordered by the
board at a regular meeting, and
the clerk of the board and state
land agent, as such tenders
made, shall investigate and report
to the board all information they
can obtain relative to the applica
tion on which such certificates
were obtained and are now held or
owned.
It is ordered that hereafter no
deeds shall be issued for any state
lands except for farms acquired
by foreclosure of mortgage, for
which certificates have been issued,
until the same are first submitted
to and ordered issued by the board
at a regular meeting, and that
when applications are received for
deeds by the clerk of the board
he. together with the state land
agent, shall make a thorough in
vestigation and report in writing
to the board at the succeeding
meeting, all the facts and informa
tion obtained, and whether or not
the application is in accordance
with the law and regular and
proper in every way.'
And it is further ordered that
no certificates shall issue until the
applications to purchase are pre
sented to and approved by the
board.
The form of application in future
was changed so that two witnesses
must be required to attest to the
signature of the applicant and the
notary must certify that he
personally rcauainted with the
applicant and witnesses.
The statement published that no
certificates would be issued
future unless the application was
attested before the clerk of circuit
court is false. The old rule
this regard is unchanged.-Journa

It is true that we laid oft a
force of men some time ago; but
that was made necessary by the
delay in the rock work near the
end of the flume. Until that was
finished it was necessary to haul
water some twelve or fifteen miles
onto the desert to the crew work
ing on the ditch and we found it
to be to our own interest to lay off
the latter force until the rock
work was completed and water
flowing in the ditch as far as con
struction of it permitted. The re
port of a prospective sale may
have gained ground by this action
of ours, but it was nevertheless
wholly without foundation. We
