Old Big Fool
'History in Relation to the Mighty
Siwash Chief.
By Go. L Wow!, in Sunday Oregnnian.
I'lany an old-timer in Eas
tern Oregon and Idaho ha,c
seen Big Foot, the savage
Snake chief, or has seen his
footprints in the mud. He
was a whopper. Ex-Governor
Geo. L. Woods, in the
Sunday Oregonian, says:
"When the Warm Springs
agency was reached by our
party all was excitement and
confusion among government
employes and Indians. Mr.
Knight, who was agent ai
that time, informed us that a
war party of Shoshones, num
bering about 1 00 men, had
made a raid on the agency
only three days before our
arrival, and had killed scv
eral agency Indians, and had
driven oft" a herd of stock be
longing to the agency. Upon
informing him of our desti
nation, he warned us against
going further, pronouncing
it hazardous in the extreme
for so small a party as ours
to penetrate into that coun
try, and emphasized his ad
vice by telling us that this
war party, with their scalps
and booty, had gone in the
very direction which we were
proposing to go. I knew that
his advice was honestly given
and that he had taken an in
telligent and prudent view
of the situation, but after
consultation our party was
unanimous in their purpose
to 20 on and take our chan- U

taking, and almost criminally
reckless I did not regard it
so then, but I dc now.
These h ostites, as treach
erous a band of thieves, free
booters and murderers as
ever tramped the plains,
from time immemorial had
been warring upon the whites
and adjacent India n and
this particular party was
commanded by a notorious
chief known in all that re
gion as "Big Foot,' a man
of gigantic frame, being six
feet six inches in iieiirht, and
weighing 250 pounds or
more, judging from his ap
pearance. Our line of travel led
across a high plateau, exten
ding from the eastern slope
of the Cascade mountains to
the Deschutes river, through
a heavy pine forest, with but
little undergrowth.
We pursued our journey
southward through a scatter
ing forest of pine trees. The
weather was hot and noon
came and no indication of
river, rivulet or spring, was
anywhere apparent; men and
animals were thirsty and
tired; in front of us seemed
an endless, unbroken plain;
it is a region of basaltic for
mation and hence of abrupt
deep chasms, gorges cleaving
the surface asunder as if by
the hand of the Almighty,
forming canyons of great
depth which were not per
ceptible until upon their very
brink, so that all at once we
came upon an immense
chasm, through which the
river flowed a rushing tor
rent, coming from Mt. Jef
ferson and making its way
eastward to the Deschutes
river. Under ordinary cir
cumstanees to thirsty mortals
these rushing waters from
mountain heights would have
been a refreshing1 sight, ma-
iking the heart glad, but. not
so with us let me explain;
on the . side or the stream
c,t to us was a n,,-(,v strip
oi landMvitli an occiisional
ump oi T)ine trees, and srrass
11 3 &
in abunilaiiee, and binder one
or these ckmnotree not
more than 300 yards ava3",
within plain view, our much
dreaded Indian war party
was camped. We discovered
each other simultaneously.
As soonas tluysaw us they
divided into throe pirties,
one remaining in their camp, '
onesoimr to the risrlil o( us.
and one to the left of us,
ru5-hsxiC toward the bluff on
which we stood, evidently
with' the intention of sur
rounding us, all yelling like
demons from the infernal re
gions.

The habit of adaihiisU'iins quinine in
powerful dost, :is an antU'jolc to malarial
nalatU.'S, was once dangerously common.
Ilavpily this praciicc has umh'ivronc a wide
reform. Not only the public, but professional
men have adopted, :it wh.Uy, of course,
but largely, llostuUin-'s Stnina.-h Hitters as a
r-afe bnntanic substitute for lb.- pernicious
alkaloid. The ennM-ijiu mv 3 oi this change
are must important. Now fever and a true suf
ferers are cured formerly tii' ir rnntplaints

the remedy eventually failing to proilucu
any apireci.:ble elfeet, except the doses were
increased. A cour-e of the Hitters, persis- !

and prevents there return. The evidence in j
favor of this sterling spei!ic and busehold ,
medirine is of no amburuuus character, but j
positive anil satisl'.ietorv, and the sources
Whence it procue-ao arc very numerous.
