D., asylum for insane, tod! among nia people, ine pnoto, unen wnen Feo was just past his prime, Is copyright (1890) by Lee -.Moorhouse, Pendleton, Or. 8pe!l t9 Tba Journal. Pendleton, Or., March 4. Alter seven years spent in the asylum at Canton, 6. D., Peo, chief of the Umatlllas, Is back among; his people to spend his last years. Cured of the violent madness which was his when taken to the asylum but still1 mentally weak at times, he was brought back a week ago by Dr. Hummer, superintendent of the Canton Institution, and upon their promise to rare for him until death shall close a notable career, was placed in the cus tody of his two children, Mrs. "Charley Van Pelt and Mildred Peo. The chief who comes back as from the Sflead is only in name the chief who ruled-in other days. , His form, once like the pins of his native mountains, Is now bent and broken,' The face, the rugged lines of which once Indicated the strength of the personality which was feared . and respected, is now blanched and haggard. His hair, , for merly of the blackness of the raven, now falls white over his shoulders and his whole aprearance tells the truth that he Is but the shell of his former self..' v Tlrewater the Ruin of Peo. . To all but the recent settlers in this county, . Chief Peo la no stranger. It was about IS years ago that the sun of Peo's power began to set It was then Rev. 3, M. Cornellson, Presbyterian mis sionary at Tutullla, a young' man Just out of college, entered upon his work of Christianising the redmen of this coun ty. He Was at once thrown Into a fight with Peo for his very existence' as a : missionary, among' the Indians. ' 4 The chief of the Umatlllas had se cured control of hundreds of acres of rich farming land on the reservation and It is charged that in handling these lands he cared mostly to enrich him self. Cornellson-. grasped . the situation soon after bis arrival and, knowing that the land under Poe's management prop erly belonged In the Jurisdiction of the church, undertook to wrest them from the influential chieftain. .. ' A bitter hatred of the white minister developed m the heart of the red ruler and he used all of his great power to discredit the missionary and hie work, but the latter pursued his purpose with all the seal of his faith and gradually the old chief saw hie Influence under mined and bis landa slip from him. . Then he gave free rein to his un quenchable thirst for liquor and his life from that time forms one of the countless pathetic tales of the debauch ing power of whiskey upon the native Ainrln. TTInallv. on Anv ahrmt eight years ago, he was placed under arrest for disorderly eonduct while In toxicated. Enough of the spirit of his ancestors was still left so that when the officer attempted to lead him to jail, he put up a determined resistance.

A week ago Sunday "he was "taken among his people for the first time In seven years. Many of them had gathered In the mission house at Tutullla where Revv,Mr. Cornellson was conducting the regular services of the day, and Pee with bowed head and halting step was led up the aisle to a front seat At sight, of the great change In their for meoeader. many of Me people burst Into tears,, and when In response to an Invitation, he arose to speak to Ms tribesmen, his voice, once so strong and resonant. Quavering, not one among all the throng but was visibly affected. His message indicated that a still greater change than shown In his out ward form had been effected In their chief during the seven years and they were all made glad.. Yet their glad ness was naught compared with that of their teacher, for turning to where Rev. Mr. Cornellson, his enemy of other days, was seated, he pointed his bony, shak ing finger at-Mm and said solemnly, "What this man .ay Is rood." ford Junior ; university; C A.
