The 5flti anniversary of the fight wan celebrated In La Grande by a few pioneers on Tuesday. July 17. The j Grande Observer gives the follow ing account of the fight 50 years ago. The Indians' had been beaten at every turn In the southern portion of Washington territory, and had started on great rrtreat southward. A com pany of volunteers pursued them down the Ilurnt river and experienced several skirmishes In which the Indi ans were generally successful, but for all that the rrtreat continued. After reaching a point on the Burnt I river where thev could cross to the Oregon Immigration trail, pursuers and pursued clashed for the last time. The battle was not a decisive one for either side and the whites returned to their pioneer homes. All Trtlies Joined. Whllo the Indians were carrying on their parley and retreat, fleet-footed Indian messengers and emissaries had preceded the main body and car ried a cry for reinforcements to the Snake river Indians, as well as other tribes to the south and west. This cry for help was echoed and re-echoed from the loftiest peak to the lowliest tepees so that every war rior within hearing distance, big enough to carry a gun or bow and arrow, responded. And with the char- terlstlcs of the Indian, he responded promptly. Every remnant' of nn In dian tribe that could be reached by this wall, quickly assembled In this district, for he knew he mustv fight a decisive battle at this time. Soldiers From Walla Walla. During the few days It took to gath er the various tribes in this valley, the soldiers who were detailed at Fort Walla Walla remembered their broth ers down the Burnt river nnd with Colonel Shaw In command of 200 de termined soldiers started for the Grand Rondc. Thev ontered the valley by way of what Is now known as the Woodnrd road, Intending to reinforce the other I detachment which they knew ' to be In this locality. Slowly working their way to the head of the valley, they soon discovered the Indians In large numbers and for two days occasional ly encountered a squad of red men. Surprised tiic Indians. Colonel Shaw with his little body of men, surprised the assembled war riors ready for battle along a section which is now marked by the Proebstel bridge and extending a distance of about si mile on south of the river and over what is now covered by May Park. There was ' no modern warfare about this clash. The Indians seclud ed themselves as best they could In the tall grasses and the attacking parties adopted the same tactics. All day long the fight went on and by evening's approach red skinned men knew that their last stand was a fall- u;e and with the usual shrewdness of their race, disbanded In (-mall groups. Thee. groups were pursued by por tions f.f (he volunteers. Squads of three or more Indians would scatter In every direction with as many white men hot on their trail, but the main body sought shelter behind the rocks of the foothills near Union. Fight nt I'nlon. Here they were surrounded and a fight to the death commenced. When the terrible struggle was over there was not an Indian left to slay. They had been annihilated, not conquered, and like the Spartans In Thermopolae, they died to a man. Their remains were thrown into a huge pile and with the carcasses of the dead horses, burned. Tourists are today finding charred bones and arrow heads on the sput where Indian braves were cremated. One Mun Killed. During the pursuits which the vic tors made after gangs of fleeing In dians, several hand to hand conflicts occurred. One especially was Inter esting as well as sad, for here It was that William Holmes lost his life, the only man killed during the fight. Holmes, with S. Lilly, now residing In Corvallls, and another man, gave chase to a number of defeated Indi ans and as Holmes and Lilly had faster mounts than the others, they outdistanced their comrades and over took the enemy. ' When the two horse men got within shooting distance, the Indians suddenly faced about and opened fire. Their pursuers were Just ns active and had dismounted. In this very act of dismounting it was that Holmes los this life. Instead of sliding from his horse on the opposite side from the Indians as did Lilly, Holmes plac ed himself in plain fire of the Indi ans. The first volley killed him. By this time Lilly nnd his other com rade were surrounded and using rifle butts as weapons they managed to keep death away until the approach of a rescuing party. Old l ighters Alive. There are several of these men still living and some are making their home In this state. S. Lilly nnd Col one1 Shaw are among them. J. Q. A. Richardson, who lives near the Cove, was a member of the company which administered the final blow, but at the time of the action, was detailed at Walla Walla. He has nevertheless, had many en counters with the bloodthirsty Indi an and can tell scores of Interesting stories of pioneer warfare. He says the nearest, he ever came to losing his life at the hands of the Indians was at MI'.ton during the same summer that the battle of the Grand Rondo was fought. It was by the narrowest margin that he escaped the tomahawk and Indian tortures. New York. July 19. New York Is to be treated to a course on electric eels, of which It has only a hazy Idea. Don Quixote de Esprando, of Vene zuela, perhaps the greatest living au thority on the use to which the elec tric eel may be put, Is coming to New York to convince the skeptical that electric eels, such as can be found by hundreds of thousands In the basins of the Orinoco and Amazon rivers, can be put to all kinds of useful purposes. One hundred of these eels, it is said without a smile by the authorities who live nar the waters where the fish is most abundant, can be put in a zinc tank, where, with proper care, they will give off enough electricity to run an automobile 24 hours. Ten will generate power enough to run a three-coach train at a speed of not les? th..n 35 miles nn hour. The electric eel which Is at pres ent causing so much attention and dis cussion in South America, is describ ed as a thick, stout, blackish, scaleless fish which sometimes grows to be six feet long. It differs so greatly In structure from ordinary eels that many lehthycologists have put It In a separate family or group. It Is found In the Amazon and Orinoco basins wherever the water is warm and sluggish, and so great Is its elec tric power that It habitually kills more fish than It can possibly consume. llorw Crazed With IIomestcknesH. A pnthetlc story comes down from Sullivan county that has attracted much attention as stories about horses usually do. A horse purchased by Orrln Rice, proprietor of a large summer boarding house at Rock Hill. Sullivan county, broke his halter, while crazed with homesickness nnd started for the old home. He ran seven miles, and dropped dead as he came In sight of the old farm. The horse had been purchased from a man in Montlcello. Rico took the animal home, and It continually whin nied, refused to eat, showing all signs of homesickness. Veterinarians did not help It. and It became so weak that It could not stand up; Saturday night It lay apparently dying In the field. Sunday It was missing. Signs showed the horse had broken Its hal ter, Jumped the fence, had run seven miles to Its home near Montlcello and as It saw the barn where It had been born nnd brought up, It dropped dead of exhaustion. The horse was burled on the farm where it was born. 'The Limit" for Economy. As the strain of expenses for living I , . . is mi-reusing people are eagerly read ing the Items that tell how men and" women have struggled through life on small sums. Some of these sums are so Infinitesimal that persons find It hard to believe them. The latest story comes from Yofk, Pa., where the Rev. Jacob Kurtz, the "house top" evangelist. Is following his usual .annual custom of working In the har Ivest fields. In the daytime he works In the fields, and at night time ha bw" imo w uynesooro, wnere nn preaches from the housetops. The evangelist lives on f.14 cents a day. His bill of fare for each of three daily meals is three slices of stale I bread, each half an Inch thick, which ! costs 2 cents a day; skimmed milk. 2 Icente a day: half a cup of coffee, H4 I cents a day: two tablespoonfuls of 'jelly, 1 cent a day. The farmers for whom he Is working recently requir ed him to increase his cost of living to 13 cents a day by adding two egg at each meal, costing 8 cents, and one piece of pie costing 1 cent. The evan gelist classed these additional articles of diet as unnecessary luxuries, and after a few days returned to his limit of (? cents a day. Rev. Kurtz claims that on his slim dlt he Is able to stand the hard work In the fields better than younger men, who gorge themselves with rich food. A Platt-Odell Combine. The reuniting of the forces of Odell and Tlatt, which Is announced, puts an Interesting color on the republi can situation In New York city and state. It has aroused the new factors in the fight, who have laid in with President Roosevelt to carry the state away from the old-time bosses, and swing In an entirely new set. Senator Piatt had given signs of retiring from active politics, at least. If he did not give up his seat in the senate. But the chance of another fight. In which there are some chances of winning at least a temporary victory, has stirred the old fire In the political warrior and he Is up and doing, with his for mer lieutenant, later foe, and now friend, In a common cause. It seems to be a case in which Odell and riatt have to have meat and will fight for It. Piatt Is wise in one way, at any rate. If he gars up he would soon be In his grave, but with a fight on his hands. It will stir him to assemble all his energies, and give him another lease of life.
