DENOUNCES PRESIDENT FOR
DEPOSING PINCHOT; IS DYING
I'hlcugo, Feb. 3. Because he de
nounced President Taft for dismiss
ing Chief Forester Gifford Plnchot
from the forest service, Stanley Fly
diichowlcz, formerly professor of
philosophy at the University of VI
ena, is dying today. The former pro
fessor has been In America several
months studying sociological conditi
ons. He entered a saloon today and
ordered a glass of beer. While waiting
for the beverage he began an argu
ment on the action of the president
in dismissing Plnchot. Flydrjchowie
contended the president had done
wrong In ousting Plnchot, and criti
cized the president In a vigorous
manner. Robert McCall and John
Harold are alleged to have taken ex
ceptions to the former professor's re
marks, and a fight followed. They
are accused of beating the president's
critics so badly that he cannot re
cover from his Injuries.

the Umatilla Indian reservation who
was trying to kill him and that it was
useless for him to hope to get well un
til this evil influence was counter
acted. Accordingly George came fome and
while searching for the alleged witch,
fell In with Toy-toy. It so happened
that Toy-toy's father had died a short
time before and that he too was look
ing for the witch who was respon
sible for the death of his parent. He
finally persuaded George that Anna
Edna was the evil genius who had
caused the death of the old man and
was trying to kill George, so they set
to work to kill her.
Toy-toy gave George 25 cents with
which to purchase coyote-muck-a-muck.
The poison was secured at the
drug store on the pretense that it was
to be used to kill coyotes that were
feeding on George's watermelons. A
pint of whiskey was purchased nt the
same time and after having consumed
the greater part of the firewater, the
two Indians took what was left, ad
ded the strychnine and filled the
flask with water. They then went to
the home of the woman, persuaded
her to drink off the poison and within
an hour she was dead.
The two Indians were tried in the
local circuit court, were found guilty
of murder In the first degree and were
sentenced to be hanged. The case
was appealed to the state supreme
court which ruled that the state court
had no jurisdiction.
The two Indians were then placed
on trial in the federal court In Port
land. The Jury returned a verdict of
first degree murder but recommend
ed that the two redmen be Imprisoned
for life. This recommendation was
carried out.
Toy-toy is still In prison while
George is now a free man. He is 70
years of age and a full-blooded Uma
tilla Indian.
He employed Attorney R. J. Slater
of this city to secure a pardon for
him, but when the Attorney took the
matter up with Major O. C. Edwards
who was then agent of the Umatilla
reservation, the latter refused to al
low Slater to proceed with the matter
and himself proceeded to prepare a
petition for the pardon of the Impris
oned Indian. This was returned later
to Agent McFatrldge for the reason
