there were no. known and settled rules
of practice, and that such courts as were
organized transacted business In a hap
hazard style, without control or judicial
dignity. Such was not the case, however.
spects orderly and dignified. The man
who Introduced himself In the precincts
of justice, thinking he was in the "wild
and Woolly West," was promptly and forc

judicial, observation. Such men as George
H. Williams, O. C. ' Pratt,' Cyrus Olney,
William Strong. .O. B. McFadden. ,R. P.
Boise and others who graced the bench In
pioneer days were men of learning, ex
perience and dignity, and knew- now to
command respect, enforce order and un

cupants of judicial positions In Oregon or
elsewhere. .
Among the cases tried In my youthful
days I remember best that of the Indians
who were arrested and tried for the mur

leading to what Is known as the.Cayuse
Indian War. These Indians were trjed
with as much judicial care for thelf rights
as would have Deen any white person ac

"The manifestation of a lively Interest
