vation and troops Are Called
to Keep Peace.
PENDLETON, April ll.-The second
step in the troubles between Major
Edwards, superintendent of the Uma
tilk reservation, and the Indians, oc
cured today when upon the offer of
troop by the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs, a request for troops of cavalry
was made by major Edwards.
Further investigation into the cause
of the trouble between Edwards and
the Indians developed that cattlemen
persist in attempting to cross the res
ervation with stock, which is irritat
ing thn Indians. Recently a permit
given to one stockman to cross wun
his herd, but the Indians complained so
loudly that the ordeer was rescinded.
Since thenj Edwards and tho Indian
police have worked day and night to
keep out the stockmen who persist in
trying to drive stock across under cover
of darkness, and prevent hostilities bee
tween Indians and stockmen.
While the cavalry has been nsked
for the purpose of .assisting the police,
it is currently believed here, that the
assertion in the petition of the Indian
chiefs sent to Washington yesterday
that Edwards' life was in danger unless
he was removed, is also a reason for
desiring to have soldiers on the scene.

Dowie's legal advisor are anxious for
an amicable adjustment of the whole
dispute. This announcement was made
by Wetton after hit return from Zion
City where he was in a conference with
general averseer Voliva and others. The
statement ,was made by Wetton im
mediately after the conference with
Dowie, tonight, which lasted until mid
night. Earlier in the evening a state
ment had been given out at Dowie's
apartments that the whole matter would
be thrown into the courts tomorrow
for settlement, but after tonight's con
sultation with Wetton there seemed to
be a sudden change in the warlike at
titude, which -all along was assumed
by Dowie and his advisers.
Wftjtojn in Wji stktnesit declared
Dowie would seek redress in the courts
onlv as a last report. Considerable
progress was made at the conference
this afternoon, Wetton said, but noth
ing was mentioned regarding who
would be the ecclesiastical head of the

left to a board of arbitration to be chos
een from representatives on both sides.

deposing Dowie as the owner' and con-
troller of this vast estate be set aside.
The; grounds will be; that IV oliva.
Granger and Mr. Dowie fraudulently
and intelligently endeavored to despoil
the former "First Apostle" of proper
ty he rightfully claims at bis own. An
injunction will be asked prohibiting'
Voliva from any way handling tha
estate.
Will Descend on Zion.
The legal steps, however are only;
preliminary, for Dowie and his entire
party intend to descend on Zion City,
and at no very distant date. This
statement was emphatically made to
day by deacon Peters, Dowie's con
stant attendant and adviser since he
left Mexico.
Dowie lost a sympathizer today in
in the person of Miss Elizabeth Mc
Lennan a nurse who accompanied Dowie
on his trip. The woman went to Zion
City today after a heated interview with
Dowie in which she accused him of hav
ing shamefully maligned Mrs. Dowie
and Gladstone at St. Louis.
In referring to the threats of Glad
stone intimating that if his father didnt
stop his attacks on Mrs. Dowie he
Would reveal certain deeds said to have
occured in 1877. Dowie said he remer
bered nothing to his discredit in that
year. Coming to think of it, however,
he said there was one thing that hap
pened that year which he regretted,
and that was that the Lord gave him a
son whom he named Gladstone. All hit
life, Dowie said, he had tried to coun
sel him and supply money, but effort
to lead him in the path Dowie would
have him walk were without avail. He
added, "Now I want to "say, that unless
ttyijis .JOing niai cease making tfhei
threats and insinuations, I will be forc
ed to reveal his true character to the
world."
