Baker City, Jan. 21. A movement
is now on foot among horsemen of
this city for the organization of an
independent racing circuit composed
of this city and Pendleton, inasmuch
as the Northwest Racing usnoclation
did not consider either of these places
in fixing their dates for the fall races.
Horsemen here are enthusiastic
over the proposition and believe that
an Independent association composed
of Boise. Baker City. La Grande,
Pendleton and Walla Walla could be
organized, and be made highly suc
cessful. All of these points are
horse growing centers and contain
many first-class horses which could
be developed Into a racing string,
equal to nny local aggregation to be
found anywhere in the West.
Overtures will be made by local
horsemen to each of these places with
a view to organizing a racing circuit.

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.
