Hoseason Has" a Long, Te dious and Bootless Quest After the Umatiiia Chief The End Is Not Yet. W. C. Hoseason, of the St. Joo Store, declared war on Chief No Shirt, of the Umntllln reservation yesterday afternoon, and went on tin war path, staying there until late at night; but this morning he (s at his post again, contemplating the dotnlls of District Attorney Hnlley on the same mission. Yesterday afternoon the chiut came Into the Btorc and bought a bill of goods nmounting to nbout $7. He left. Baying that he would return n a short time and take the things to his home. About the sume time an other Indian came into the More and bought another bill of about the same size, and left with the same "state ment. In a short time No Shirt returned with his ..nek and Mr. Hoseason load ed him up with what he had bought anil went to wait on another custo mer. The chief tarried for a minute in his wagon, and one of the clerks, who had sold the goods to the second Indian, thought his man wns nt the door waiting for his load, so he put the stuff belonging to the second In dian into the hack of the chief with the scantily clothed name, was thank ed far his pains and wntcheu tin hoail of the tribe make tall tracks for 111.' fastnesses of the reservation. In nbout five minutes the unknown redmnu drove up for ns loud, and when he learned that tho chief had vanished with his S" worth of Hour and ennned goods, he waxed wroth nnd asserted that the chief had a characteristic rhyming well with nis official appellation, and that he would eat all of the stuff. At this juncture Mr. Hoseason. who is an old Inulan scout, nppeared on the scene. He at once secured a horse and went on the trail. He pen etrated Into the reservation aud th-j darkness for more than eight miles and three hours, but lost the trull. He had It nt first, but took the wrong road and found that he wus af ter a couple of squaws instead of the chief, so he gave up In despair and rode back to town In n sore trame of mind and body, especially the latter, for he has not been on board n horse for mree years. He has now sent his ultimatum to the well provisioned chief that if he does not produce l.e will be. imprisoned. The reply of the chief is awaited. BIG RABBIT DRIVE TOMORROW. Will Be Organized at Mile Post 197, Two Miles West of Foster and Will Cover Large Territory. The largest rabbit drive of the year will take place near Foster tomor row. The urive will be organized nnout two miles west of Foster and people s'ng down 'mm here can strike the hunters at Mile post 197. on what is known .18 Maxwell hill. This drive is expected to lie a big affair as the cannery people hae the promise of all ihe boys, men and wo-1 men in the Echo district to take part and secure a large catch. The ter ritory covered will be about threo miles wide, and It Is impossible to make a guess at tho number of rait bits which wnl be captured In that spaed. Many people now attend these drives who would not do so a year ago on account of the humane man ner of disposing of the nnimals. after they are caught. No brutality Is ex hibited in any way now. 'tne rab bits are driven Into a woven wire pen. caught and killed instantly, and their carcasses carefully loaded into tho "execution wagon" of tho can nery. LEG BROKEN. Untoward Accident to Mrs. G.
