L Jones, of Oakrille, and Coonty Cierk O. 3. Montague made abott but in teresting "addresses. A club was then organised, and tbe following resolutions were introduced : Resolved, we, tbe populist club as rembled, do reaffirm onr-fai'.h in tbe Omaha platform, believing it to be tbe only sore road to liberty. Resolved, that we do not favor fusion on any other platform. Tbe advisability of adopting such res olutions was warmly discussed, but they wete finally adopted. ; The resolutions can hardly be consid ered as the official views of tbe populist i voters in this locality. Tbe attendance at the meeting was not very large, owing to tbe fact that Hon. D. P. Thompson lectured in Lebmon tbe same evening, and many populists attended bia lecture. "Middle of the rosd" populists, by their radical remarks against anion, just be fore the club was organised, caused sev eral ponulieU who favored uoion 10 re fore to join the club.

PIMPLY FACES "t8TS&3rSB& w BATTLE OF WELL SPRINGS. Ac Interesting Semicentennial Anniversary tor Two of Our Citizens. Editor Democrat. Fifty years ago today, on Feb. 24,1848, occurred the principal battle of tbe Cay use Indian war, at Well Springs, in what is now known as Gilliam county, in Eastern Oregon. Quite a -number of people from this county were engsged in that campaign, and two of our promi nent citisens were severely wounded at this battle. One of them, Mr. N. G. McDonald, although shot through the lungs, recovered, and resided near Scio. in this county, until tbe time of his death, which occurred only a few years ago. The other, Mr. Jason Wheeler, is now a prominent citizen of Albany, and being still hale and hearty, will no doubt very much enjoy tbe congratula tions of bis many friends as he celebrates today, along with Mr. Aahby Pearce, another comrade, this fiftieth anniver sary of the historical skirmish above re ferred to. The horrible massacre of Dr. Whit man and his associates by the Caj ue Indians occurred on Nov. 29, 1S47. As soon as tbe news reached the Willamette vallev the provisional governor, Aber netby. called for volunteers to suppress the uprising, which waa supposed to be general all through tbe upoer Colombia country By January 9th about 500 mounted men were mustered into ser vice at Portland, and nnJer tbe com' mand of Col Gilliam started np the Col uirbia for Whitman mission. Ammu nition, etippliee, and an old cannon, borrowed from tbe Hudson Bay Com pany, were sent up the river in batteauz, wcile the command went np by Una. swimming their horses across ttie Col ombia twice before reaching Tbe Dalles This place was made the base of their applies, and a stockade a a erected for detente. About to weeks were eoetit nere, ana in tne meantime several scout iog parties were sent out. Ouita a nam ber of skirmishes occurred witn the In dians, incipaily w moos and Teniooa Trn men. An nl tK.m n mI p..k .wwl were ambashed, killed and scalped within two or three ml'ea of Tbe Dalles, while herding horses. . v. . u U. U H U. V HVmWVW, Alter getting this camn in rood inane. and preing into service several emi grant wagons.the command started on ap u vAuumun, email oaoas 01 Indians were occasionally seen and some skir- mianmg occurred, out no serious oddo- ii ion vas envoantered until tneir ar rival at Well Springs Tbev arrived there on the evening of Feb 23rd and camped, spent tbe night without an alarm, and on t:.e next morning broke camp aod startel on their way. Not an Indian bad been in sight until this time. oat now tney commenced to appear in every direction until finally tbe troops -rere completely surrounded. Tne com mand ws immediately hailed and plac ed in poaition of defease. Tbe soldiers were not allowed to bezio the battle on til Gen. Joel H- Palmer, the Indian com missioner, bad first tried to treat with the Indiana. It waa hard to restrain the troops, for the horrible atrocities practiced by tbe Indians at the Whit man mission were yet fresh in their minds, and they could not forget tbe killing and scalping of their two com rades a few days before Under a white flag a pow wow was bcld . It waa found that tbe Indians were Cavujea. nru!cr tbe leadership of three of their chiefs leuowuawk. Telau ka-lkt and Tarn- sukey. After the pow-wow bad lasted almost an boor, young chief came gal lopiog down toward tbe line on bis cay use. Armed with rifle, pistol and knife, he raced op and down ttie line in trout of tbe soldiers, shooting in English and "chinook" threats and defiance. He swore a: them and told them tne Indi ana bad selected this place for a battle, and that not a single "Bostun-maa" should ever reach tbe Umatilla river alive. He said they bad made medicine be night before, and that now tbe bal lets of the soldi rs would have no effect upon any Indian, and that be atonid swadow sny ballet that waa shot at tim. j He raced clear down tbe front ot the line, not thirty yards away, and then ack,and then wheeled and started down again, ati'l swenne and threatening It aa all Col. Oiliiam could do to restrain bis men. Old "Bill Mestov Smith," who died near Lebanon a few years ago.was beside tbe colonel, and several limes be raised in bis stirrups, drew a bead on tbe cbief. and begged to be allowed 'o furnish the lead lor tbe fellow to swallow As the In fian came don tbe I ne tbe tbird time a dog ran out and barked at him, and he palled his pistol and shot at him. Jost at this time two or three shots rang out, aod tbe Indian threw himself slightly backward and quivered. His borse stop ped, and a maa from Polk county, going by the came of "Blubbermouth" Smitb. ran out and jerked bim from bia borse and bad him seal ped before an v one con Id interfere. One rifle ball bad bit tbe In dian just between the nose and mouth and passed through bia bead he bad not swallowed it. This opened the battle whhh lasted un til sundown. The lodians.although out numbering the whites ten to one, would oot charge, but availing themselves of Vy kind ot cover, would work their way gas close aa possible and then keep np a steady Ore until dislodged At one time tbe Indians massed at a point a lit le out of range ol the rifles, so the troop anlim- bered an old six pounder and scattered them in thort order. Tbey bad no regu lar cannon balls, but bad prepared aomt by cutting on sections 01 wagon tire and bending it forward aod back nutil it bad assumed something like tbe right shape. No Indians were killed by these missies. but tba number that were scared to death by the unearthly uclf,ciued by their passage throueh tbe air, has never been recorded. Later in the day the different companies would sally out whenever tbey could locate a considerable band of 1d- ians, but they never succeeded in bring ing about a ngbt at close quarters. in one ot these maneuvers Uapt. Max on'i company got about a mile away an 1 the moans surrounded tbenn Maxon ordered his men down into a bssin or sand hollow for defense As they rode down into the basin, Whee'er's borse be came unmanageable and could not be stopped until be ran clear acrors and np tbe other side. By this time the Indians were gathering in faat.and just as Wheel er reached the top lie saw one racing along parallel with tbe rim of tbe basin and anout atxty yards away. Our hero had time to turn bis borse aod get away, but be thought be would Drtt kill the In dian and then retreu, so he commenced st once to dismount hoping in that way to make a safer shot. Tbe Indian, how ever, as he passed by, threw himself on the opposite side 01 bis borse and sbot withont dismounting. The bullet struck Wheeler tn the lower part ol the right thigh lust aa he was throwing his lei over the cantril of tbe saddle. He fel to tbe ground, but getting ap, bung on to bis saddle with one band, and guiding bis borse with the other, by hopping along on one leg made his wsy back down Into tbe basin and joined bis company. It is wound proved to be a very severe one. Tbe ball first struck the wooden handle of his heavy Indian riding whip, driving splioters into his thigh, and then passed on through bis leg and lodged under the skin on the opposite side. His comrade placed bia blankets on the ground In the center of the basin, and he laid there an interested spectator of the fight until they were relieved by reinforcements coming from the main body of the troops. N. G. McDonald waa shot in this same battle very soon after it commenced. He was on tbe skirmish line away out in front of tbe troops when be received a rifle ball in his left breast. It passed through one lung and lodgedjust under tha all in nur thA har.khnnA. It waaaniv posed that be could not survive, and the tnougnt 01 losing mm causea a meiing 01 sadness to pervade the whole company. I for be waa at brave as a lion and a gen .eral favorite. Being blessed with a mag nificent constitution, be finally recovered sd lived to a ripe old age, loved, bon ored and respected by all who knew him. Altbiugh the fighting lasted all the dsy none of the whites were killed, but quite a number were wounded. The loss among tbe Indians wss not known as tbey carried off all their dead and wound ed. Ool. Gilliam camptd on the field that night without water, and tbe-e was no sleep for any one aa signal fires were burning on the bluffs all around them. However, the next morning the' com mand went forward and was oot molest ed, although the Indians swarmed on the bills, t.t a safe distance, on both sides, dating tbe wLole dsy In about tbiee davs the troops arrived at tbe Whitman la about three Station. Here the wounded received the best attention that could be rendered ,aud aa soon aa they were able to move were sent back to the Dailes under escort, aod from there down the Columbia and up tbe Willamette to their homes. This battle does not gain its Importance from tbe number of those killed and wounded on that day. For several months tbe Uayuses baJ been making a great effort to combine all the tribes east of tba Cascades in a war of extermina tion against all the whites in tbe north west not connected with tbe Hudson Bsy Company. They bad held councils, and "made medicine" until tbey firmly be lieved the bullets of the whites would have no effect upon them whatever. This had been preached faithfully tube other tribes by the medicine meo, aod when the troops arrived at Well Springs tbe test wai to be made. Had the Indians been successful in this first battle tbe federa tion of tbe different tribes would have been consummated immediately, and what the result would have been no ous can even conjecture. Fifty years bare now passed since Ibis memorable campaign ol tbe Oregon Ride men, under Col Gi.liam, and it ia a aad commentary upon the justice meted out by our general goveromeat to ber citizens that these men Hive never received one cent lor their services.
