Tu ft! dies in Tribal Jail Under somewhat confusing circumstances," Mark Tufti, 18, died of an apparent suicide at the Warm Springs jail around midnight on Tuesday, May 12 or early Wednesday. He was found dead in his cell, hanging from a rope made of strips torn from a blanket. Tufit had been lodged in the jail for disorderly conduct at 10:55 p.m. Tuesday night. He Pardon us, SPILYAY TY M O O STAFF will be required and savings accounts are only set up on a volunteer basis.

Besides offering a work experience program, the work programs are intended to be a learning process. Students are encouraged to complete their own employment applications and to do their own talking to Pi-Ume-Sha! We regret the mistakes we made in the last issue of Spilyay Tymoo on the Pi-Ume-Sha Powwow queen candidates. The correct inform ation is as follows: Jana Henry’s m other is Priscilla Pinkham of Lapwai, Idaho. Jana graduated with the class of 1978 from Lapwai. She is a Warm Springs/Nez Perce Indian and lives in Adams, Oregon. Mariam Tias’ grandmother is Mary Tias of Pendleton. All candidates will judge only the children’s contests. had evidently been holding a rifle under his chin, but when the police were called they were responding to a “man with a gun, th re a te n in g ” report, according to Mark Werner, BI A special investigator. W erner said th a t the confusion resulted from the officers apparently not being told that Tufit was threatening suicide or that he had talked of suicide before. “Apparently that inform ation was not passed on to police officers,” Werner said. Tufit was alone in the cell and had been checked at 11:50 p.m. by Chris Still. He was okay at that time. It was 12:04 when he was found, just 14 minutes after the last check, Werner said. The doctor, who was in Warm Springs, was immediately called to the jail where he found no sign of life in the young man. Another confusing aspect- of the case was that about the same time Tufti was being lodged, the police received a call ab o u t an attem pted suicide-knifing at the Oscar Tufti residence, M ark’s father’s home, Mark was concerned that it was his father, according to Werner. But the attempted suicide was at another house in West Hills and was not M ark’s father. The individual who attempted suidice was treated a t the clinic and is in satisfactory condition. “That is the reason Chris Still talked with Mark at 11:50 p.m .,” said W erner. Still wanted Tufti to know that it wasn’t his dad, and Tufti seemed to be relieved, Still told Werner. W erner is handling the investigation for the govern ment and for the tribal police department. He said that a c o m p le te a u to p s y w as performed in Portland on Thursday, although there was no appearance of foul play. When the investigation has been completed, Werner will present the information to tribal police chief Jeff Sanders. They will then evaluate the facts to determine whether or not there should be any changes in procedure at the jaih Dressing ceremonies will be at Evergreen Chapel today, June 15, overnight services wili be held a t the A gency Longhouse that night, and burial will take place on Saturday.
