Offense Was Committed on tlie Res ervation, and Roth Defendunt and Complaining Witness Are Indians Apparently the Case Should Go to tlie United States Court for Original Trial Discrepancy In State's Tes timony May Clear Luke. There are several questions perplex ing the mind of State Circuit Judge W. R. Ellis as to whether or not Char ley Luke, an Indian convicted of lar ceny by bailee, should be granted a new trial. Luke Is alleged to have borrowed a horse from another Indi an and. selling the animal. In the description of Cie animal made' In the information the color of the animal Is given as sorrel. Evi dence of a witness stated that the horse In question la a pinto. That la the main question upon which Attor ney J. Jl. Raley, representing the ac cused, bases his argument for a new trial. But there Is yet another ques tion that has not been brought out. Both the accused and the complain ing witness being Indians, has the state circuit court Jurisdiction to try the case, or should it go before the United States district court? Four years ago Columbia George and Toy Toy, two Umatlllas, were tried and convicted in the state circuit court of the murder of Anna Edna, a squaw, They were sentenced to death, but the supreme court decided that the trial should have been before the fed eral court, and they were tried again and escaped with life sentences. In the present case an Indian is ac cused of stealing from an Indian, but the horse was disposed of outside of the reservation. Decisions of the United States supreme court and the various state supreme courts conflict In regard to which has jurisdiction in such eases. Argument for new trial was made this morning but Judge Ellis reesrved decision until next Tuesday after noon. WEATHER REPORT. Record of Temperature and lrecipl tation. Compiled by H. F.
