Indian Episodes.
While there is no recollection of
, a serious clash between the whites
and Indians in the vicinity of Umatil
la, yet two episodes are reported that
do "not reflect to the credit of the
rwnites. u appears inai wneii uiu 111 jn ),er vet
dlan war broke out in those days the :
war "fever" spread throughout East i
( era Oregon. Everything looked like
, Indians to many people and all In i
diaus were regarded as "bad Indians."
A gunboat on a small scale was
placed on the river by the govern
ment and a system of patrolling was
inaugurated to prevent the Indians
from crossing over and aiding each
other. The alarm spread at Umatilla
that a large band of warriors were
crossing tbe Columbia not far from
the town and the gunboat steamed
cut quickly to prevent it.' The boat
came upon the rear-guard of the In i
dian "flotilla." which consisted of a
half-dozen Indian canoes filled with
men. women and children, aud ouened
J fire with a guttling gun upon the rear
canoe. This boat happened to be oc
cupied by the chief of the small band,
who fell overboard, feigning death.
and capsizing the boat over himself.
Several volleys from the gattling gun
followed, but the chief reached the
shore and took to his heels. A' de
tachment was quickly landed from
the gunboat and uion forced march
succeeded in capturing an Indian
baby that had been abandoned by the
Indians in their flight. It afterwards
turned out that the Indians were
friendly to whites and were merely
crossing the river to escape from an
other tribe which was on the war
path. The chief of the small band
gave a humorous description of the
gun that rained bullets, referring to
the Gattling gun, and the laugh was
on the soldiers.
Friendly Indian Murdered.
About this time a lone Indian made
his way to Umatilla from up the river.
bringing the report that a large war
party of Indians were coming this
way. The people were badly fright
ened and the place was occupied by
soldiers and volunteers and bore the
appearance of an army post in time
of war. The large warehouses had
been converted into forts and the
school house was also occupied by
In lSt'.4 If one had told the leopie
of Umatilla that within a few more
years the place would be practically
deserted thev would not have believ
ed it but this condition came In the
latter part of the sixties the railroad
reached the place trom the west.
Then steamboating immediately lie
came a thing of the past. It looked
better for Umatilla tor a snort tune,
but this was brief. It was exented
nr, m P.-iidletoii. From this point the
interior of the east were reached. The ,
neonle of Umatilla were slow in giv
ing up hopes for the future ot their
town, but it had to rome. The cordi
Hons convinced them that it was no
more. One by one they followed to
Pendleton and it became the town of
the county and has since held the dis- j
tinction. The county seat came also (
and Umatilla was left for years In a,
state of decadence
