May Be Afflicted
ItAXdlKIt AT JOIIV DAY SAYS
TWO ANIMALS HAVE RAD
TO BE KILLED.
"Two horses have already gone mad
and been killed and I suppose others
will die too."
The sentence Is contained in a let
ter received this morning by Douglaa
Beit from hi
eon, Berne Beits, who
is running stock on the middle fork
of the John Day near Galena, relative
to the rabies situation theru. He tells
of renting some pasture land to an
other man and It was this latter's
horses that deseloped madness and
died. Before dying, he writes, they
bit a half dozen other horses and he
expects these to become rabid too.
Likewise some of his own cattle which
strayed Into the pasture.
This is only one of a number of re
cent reports coming from Grant coun-
and the southern part of Umatilla
county. Another story has It that a
prominent rancher of the south end
of the county has lost over 20 head
of cattle by rabies, among them a val
uable bull.
However, grave as the situation is
and has been, stockmen believe the
danger will be greatly reduced by th
activity of coyote hunters who have
been stimulated by the 33 bounty law.
Quite a number of men are making a
business of hunting the animals now,
It Is reported, the pelts being worth
$1 50 in addition to the 13 bounty.
Every coyote killed decreases the dan
ger and, when hunters bring in 40
hides at a time, it means that the re
duction in the number of coyotes is a
marked one.

Who said poor Lo?
Natives of the Frisco burg and
fastern visitors to the Panama-Pacific
fair, who entertain the lde4
that the Indian of today Is a poverty
stricken wreck of humanity, very
likely will get a rude shock when
they see Thomas Schelell, a full
ed Indian of the reservation,

through the streets of the Bay City.
Be it known that sesterday said
Thomas purchased from the Oregon
Motor Garage a C-55 Buii k tourln
car to replace his four-cylinder ma
chine which was too common and
small for his station in life and for
his needs. He purchased It for the
express purpose, according to his
own statements, of taking his family
overland to San Francisco and he
declared he contemplated dressing
himself and family In the warbonncts
and other savage finery which he in
herited from his ancestors fur his en
trance Into the exposition city. Schel
ell farms his on land successfully
upon the reservation and enjoys th
distinction of being the first redmart
on the local reservation to own an'l
drive his own motor car.
