Ciief Peo of the Umatilla., who has just been brought home from Canton, S. 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.

tured the Indian'! skull, and this blow,
together . with some poisonous liquor
which he had drunk, brought about his
mental affliction.
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."
