LAST BATTLE NEAR LA

"!v ';i-t Indian fisht In Grand

n,-... . .i'od Prnel'ytol's prove, one
nitle f. oni La Clntnde, on July IT,
1S!16.
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.
A sweet breath adds to the Joys of
a kiss. You wouldn't want to kiss
your wife, mother or sweetheart with
a bad breath. You can't have a sweet
breath without a healthy stomach.
You can't have a healthy stomach
without perfect digestion. There Is
only one remedy that digests what you
eat and makes the breath as sweet as
a rose and thht remedy Is KODOL
FOR DYSPEPSIA. It Is a relief for
sour stomach, palpitation of the heart,
and other ailments arising from dis
order of the stjmach and digestion.
Take a little Kodol after your meals
and see what it will do for you. Sold
