Yakima fishermen facing dilemma
Two Yakima Indian fugitives
hiding from federal marshals for
four months say they may come
out of hiding January 12th if a tri
bal court takes up their "salmon
scam" case as scheduled. Leroy
Yocash and Wilbur Slockish were
sentenced to federal prison terms
for their roles in a notorious fish
poaching case.
The 46-year-old Slockish says he
hasn't been trying to evade the
law He's merely been waiting to
have his day in an Indian court.
Slockish, age 42, says he has com
mitted no crime the crime was
committed against him. Neither
man testified in federal court in
1983 because of a plea bargain. So
they were stunned when Slockish
was sentenced to three years in pri
son and Yocash to two for illegal
fishing. They have been hiding on
the reservation in the homes of
Indian and non-Indian supporters.
Three others convicted in the
case are already in federal deten

is in the custody of the U.S.
Marshal's Service in Portland.
Arthur was apprehended December
24 in Portland, following a state
wide search.
Arthur is in custody in connection
with the deaths of Leah Alice
Tahkeal, and Martina Irene Reed,
30. The body of Tahkeal, who also
used the last name of Sam, was
found December 21 on a bed in
Arthur's house on the Umatilla
reservation. The next day, an inves
tigation by Umatilla tribal police,
the FBI, Oregon State Police and
- Pendleton police resulted in finding
the body of Reed buried nearby.

Fisheries program goals in the
coiumoia Kiver casin are to aou
ble the fish runs by the year 2000.
To achieve this goal, programs
are being refined to select priority
stocks and sub-basins for restora
tion. The tribes can and should be
at the forefront of decisions that
will establish program objectives.
Currently there is a lack of over
all integration of various state, fed
eral and tribal programs. To assist
in alleviating this problem tribal
biologist coordination workshops
have been occurring with the Colum
bia River Inter-Tribal Fish Com
mission at 2-3 months intervals
over the last half of this year.
Through these workshops, Inter
Tribal and tribal biologist are work

fisheries programs by: assisting tribal

Autopsies indicated that both
women died of asphyxiation and
had apparently been dead since
October.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William
Youngman said the federal complaint
lodged against Arthur accuses him
of second-degree murder only in
connection with the death of
Tahkeal. However, Youngman said,
evidence that allegedly links Arthur
to Reed's death is likely to be
submitted to a grand jury at a later
date.
At Monday's appearance. Dale
appointed the Federal Defender's
Office to represent Arthur. Paul
Petterson said that he and Stephen
