About three years ago while Intoxi
cated and resisting arrest. It is al
leged that Peo was struck on the head
by a policeman, the blow affecting
his mind. j
Amos Pond has practically been
at the head of the Umatillas since
early last summer. Peo's mental de
cline caused his subjects to assemble
and select a new chieftain, and while
Peo still bears the title of chief, his
days of ruling are at an end.
Peo is about 68 years of age. He

Peo succeeded his father upon the

from Fort Walla Walla . to punish
renegade Indians known as the
"sheep eaters." These Indians were

wealth. When his mind began to fall

aquiline nose of Ta-how-lts for sev
eral days to come.
Ta-how-its and his wife are Takima
Indians, but they are allotted on the
Umatilla reservation. They separated
some time ago, and since have quar-
reiea ruriousiy at times. Yesterday
they met on the streets Just as the
wire was starting for the reservation,
and she stopped the team for a few
minutes, while she whipped her un
dutlful husband. She carried a baby
on her back at the time, but did the
job up with neatness and dispatch,
and then left for the reservation hap
pily as If nothing unpleasant had hap
pened in the Tah-how-lts family.
Charles Wilklns, for nine years
agent on the Umatilla reservation
says the women can be brave and
arrogant in the city, where the white
man's sympathies are wholly with

reached the situation changes and
the buck becomes the master at

punishment to ths squaws. At times.

and braised nose she triumphantly
gave her former husband on the

Lee Teutsch received word from
Albany this morning that the store
which burned there yesterday had not
yet been turned over to J. N. Cham
bers, formerly of this city, who had
purchased It, and therefore Mr.

went to Albany where he purchased
the department store of Reeves A Co.
The store burned yesterday, and Mr.
Chambers' friends feared that the
loss would be his. He had not re

Traveling Under Difficulties.
When No. 8, the north-bound train
pulled out of the yard this morning,
a hobo was seen lying flat on top of
one of the passenger coaches, hug
ging the frost-covered boards, and
making himself as thin as possible to
escape detection. There was ice and
frost all over the top of the train,
the' fellow had no overcoat and his
thread-bars clothing was but a scanty
protection against the chilling atmos
phere that caused men in heavy coats
and mufflers to shiver.
