VIOLATORS OF 'THE GAME LAW
The Warm Springs Indians Should be
be Prosecuted.
Many complaints are continually
coming in to the effect that the Warm
Spring Indians are killing elk, deer
and beaver without any regard for the
game laws of tbe state and enquiries
are being made as to whether the
same laws that govern white men ap
ply to Indians, as this communication
from a Tigh Valley hunter plainly
shows.
"We who like, to hunt, have noticed
in a late copy of the Oregonian sum
mary of the stale game laws, particu
larly relating t ) elk and beaver, and
would like to kaow if the same laws
govern Indians as well as white men.
The Indians in this section have al
ways hunted in all seasons, and killed
anything band.v. If tbe Indian can do
this legally, the game law as regards
to eik, deer and moose is only a check
on the white man."
Yesterday's Oregonian states that
when the Warm Spring Indians were
enroute to tbe Southern Oregon bop
fields they slaughtered 300 deer in tbe
Cascade mountains. They stationed
their best sharpehooters at convenient
places along tbe canyons and as tbe
frightened animals ran by tbey
slaughtered them to the extent men
tioned. They afterwards took a trip down
tbe Willamette river and slaughtered
some 150 deer.
Had white men committed such de
predations tbey would baye been pun
ished to the full extent of the law, but
since it was Io Hans thet violated the
laws it looks a.- if they would go scott
free. This is wrong i-i the extreme
and every offender should be brought
to justice.
INDIANS MUST OBEY.
They Bave So More Klght to Kill ame
Than White Bleu.
There are few if any couDties in
Oregon aud Washington that are not
directly interested in a recent decision
in the United States supreme court
regarding the rights of Indians on
government laud within tbe border
of a state. The decision was rendered
in the case of John Ward, sheriff of
Vinta county, Wyo., vs Race Horse,
an Indian. After Wyoming had been
admitted as a state, tbe legislature
passed a law for the protection of
game, and fixing penalties for the
violation of the same. Race Horse, a
Bannock Indian, was convicted for
having killed elk, and was imprisoned
by tbe state authorities. A writ of
habeas corpus was sued out in the
United States circuit court, and Race
Horse was discharged, the court hold
ing that tbe state statute was in
violation of a treaty entered into be
tween tho United States and the Ban
nock Indians in 1869, which provided
that "'the Indians shall have the
right to hunt upon the unoccupied
land of the United States so long as
game shall be found thereon." This
holding virtually was that the state
had "do jurisdiction over government
lands within its territory. The sup
reme court held that states had a right
to pass game laws that would be oper
ative against Indians as well as whites
even on unoccupied government lands
and that any former treaty between
the Indians and tbe government
could not deprive tbe state of this
right. In delivering the opinion of
the court, Mr. Justice White said:
"The power -f all the states to regu
late the killing of game within their
border will Dot be gaiaid, bur, if the
treaty applies to the u occupitd land
of the United states iu the state of
Wyoming, that state ould be bereft
of such power, since very isolated
piece of land belonging to the United
States as a private ou, r. on Inner a
it continues to be occupied land,
would be exempt in !iiis regard from
the authority of the state. Wyoming,
then, will have been admitted into tbe
Union, not as an equal member, but as
one shorn of a legislative power vest
ed In all tbe other states of the Union,
a power resulting from the fact of
statehood and incident to its plenary
existence.

SHEEPMEN PROTEST.
Want to .Rang Their Flocks on Rainier
Referve Next Year.
The leading sheepraisers of Central
Washington, representing llocks num
bering 250,000 met in' North Yakima,
Saturday afternoon to consider the
matter of securing the summer ranges
of the Rainier reserve nex t,year. Con
gressman Jones and Cushman were
present, as were representatives of the
Northern Pacific and Burlington rail
roads, and many leading citizens of
Yadima and farmers of the valley. All
were impressed with the gravity of the
situation, which threatens the destruc
tion of a great and profitable industry.
Communications were read which
showed that the policy of excluding
sheep from the reserves has recently
originated with Secretary Hitchcock,
and was not proposed by Secretary
Wilson, as has been reported in
Washington dispatches.
It was decided to prepare a state
ment which will show thit the secre
tary is wrong in the assumption that
jhe tlmbar of t ie reserve is more im
portant than tbe sheep industry. That
the sheep do not destroy timber or
injure the watershed, and that danger
of fire is diminished by giving sheep
owners tbe use of the ranges. George
McCredy, of Click itat county; D.
Goodman and Edward Whitson, of
Yakima; J. H, Smithson, of Ellens-
burg, and H. P Vermilye, of Tacoma,
were appointed a committe to pre
pare a statemet-t and argument. Rep
resentatives Jones and Cushman
promised to do all in their power when
congress meets to secure the relief
desired by the sheepmen.
Saturnay night the Woolgrowers'
Association gave an elaborate banquet
at tbe Yakima hotel, at which 100
guests were present, speeches were
made by t'ue visitors and the leading
citizens of Yakima.

Gnyton Drowns Herself and
Children in The Deschutes.
une of the saddest tragedies in the
history of Sherman county occurred at
about noon Monday when Mrs. W.
F. Guyton.of Kent, in Sherman county,
drowned herself and her two children
in trie Deschutes river, near'the free
bridge.
It appears that a quarrel between
Mr. Guyton and his wife was the cause
of tbe suicide and although many are
of the opinion that she must bave been
insane, there has been no previous
action on her part to justify such
supposition, and if it is true it must
have been a temporary attack.
Full particulars have not as yet been
learned, and no one was a witness to
the crime. It is supposed that she
took her two children in her arms and
jumped into the river at a point
short distance above the free bridge
near wbero tbe Moro lumbering com
pany propose building their saw mill.
At the place where she committed
the deed the water was not over three
feet deep and unlike most places in the
Deschutes was almost still, so that the
bodies were readily recovered.
Mrs. William F. Guyton or Alice
Coats, which was her maiden name,
was married to Mr. Guyton about five
years ago. He was a man of oyer
sixty. while she was a woman of about
twenty five. In spite of the difference
In their ages they always seemed to
get along nicely and those who knew
them here never heard of them having
a quarrel.
Their marriage was blessed with tbe
two children a boy about four years
of age and an infant of twenty months
which are the innocent victims of
their mothers fit of temporary Insanity
or probably despondency
Their home Is at about three miles
south east of Kent postoffice near the
southern border of Sherman county.
aod it is likely that they were on their
way to Tbe Dalles and stopped near
the bridge to rest their team when the
trouble arose and she decided to end
her cares in tbe manner stated and
rather than leave her little ones, de
cided that they must die with her,
Tbe report did not state that her bus
band had come down with her, but it
is more tban likely that he did and
that she slipped away from him to ac
complish her terrible purpose.
The deceased has ooe sister living at
krskineville, in Sherman county while
her father and mother and other rela
tions live in the Willamette valley.

brought $1.85 and $1.65 per band.
A party of seven young ladies with
Victor Schmidt as coachman left by
private convevance yesterday morning
to spend the day at the falls of Mill
Creek. The day was a model one for
such an outing and the trip up and

was thoroughly enjoyed. Not a single
accident of any kind occurred either
going or coming and Victor has gained
for himself an en vsable reputation as
a teamster.

first instinct of

to preserve
her little one.
Its life and
health take
precedence
even over her
own. The
common dread
which women
who are look
ing forward to
the coming of a new and precious baby
into the world first feel, is that they may
not themselves be able to go safely
through the trying ordeal, and secondly
comes the fear that the darling little
baby's life or health or general well
being may somehow be sacrificed.
But there is no real need of apprehen

who is expecting to become a mother
will follow the example of Mrs. Orrin

most perfect confidence may be felt in
the happy outcome of this critical period,

SHOT IN THE HEAD.
Vie Davis hoots Joe Elliott at Prtnevnle
Last Thursday.
' Last Thursday our usually quiet city
was thrown into excitement by the re
port of a pistol shot and a man seen
staggering on the street with blood
streaming from bis head.
The particulars, as far as we can
gather them are about as follows: Joe
Elliott with several others was stand
ing in front of the bar in O'Neil's
saloon when Vic Davis came in and
spoke to Joe, saying he wanted to
speak to him. They went through the
back room and out through tbe back
door to the cellar when those in the
room were startled by the shot and
Elliott came running through and out
of the front door of the saloon with
his head bleeding. Davis went tbe
other way aod came around to near
the corner of Honywill's store where
he had his saddle horse tied. Here he
was met by Policeman Cadle who took
him in charge. When arrested he
still had tbe pistol in his hands, and
hesitated before he dropped it in
obedience to Cadle's urgent demand.
It was a 44 Colts and one chamber o
tbe cylinder was empty.
Elliott was taken to Dr. Belknap's
office and his wound dressed, when it
was found that tbe bullet bad entered
tbe back of the head a little to the
left of tbe center and coming out
about three inches on tbe other side
from where it went in and was only a
scalp wound.
Davis was turned over to the sheriff
and in the afternoon, no complaint
being made be was taken before Jus
tice W. A. Bell and was held until 10
o'clock Monday morning under 1100
bonds which were readily given.
Davis would not make any statement
of why he did tbe shooting. Prine

APPROPRIATED HIS CLOTHES.
But the Soldiers Gave Them Back
and Cheered for the Young:
Correspondent.
Here is one to the credit of Eichard
Harding Davis. After the battle a
heavy traveling bag or trunk was found
with no owner at baud to claim it. says
a Nashville American correspondent.
Several negroes of the Tenth cavalry
regulars opened it and found a variety
of fancy shirts, trousers, stockings and
such like. These they immediately con
fiscated and began to bedeck them
selves with.
Shortly after Eichard Harding Davis
came upon the scene from another part
of the field. He saw he hud been de
spoiled, but entered no complaint. An
officer of the regiment, however, began
to make inquiries. He asked where
the clothes came from and was told.
Turning to Mr. Davis he inquired:
"Are these your clothes?" Mr. Davis
bowed in the affirmative. "Then, men,
you should be doubly ashamed of your
conduct. You not only did wrong in
opening the trunk at all, but you have
made a brave mnn your victim. When
we were fired upon from ambush by
the Spaniards Davis here was right in
front of our column pointing out the
Spaniards for us to shoot at. A sol
dier was shot down by his side. He
picked up the gun and began firing im
mediately'. He has just returned from
the pursuit. Take off those garments.
Mr. Davis, in behalf of my soldiers, I
apologize for their thoughtless con
duct." There was a cheer given for ? -chaWI
Harding Davis, which the big, broad
shouldered war correspondent ac
knowledged with a smile, and the in
cident was ended.
VERY NEAR TO DEATH.
fne Narrow Escape That a Chicago
Family Han Had From a Pre
mature End.
"What a narrow line divides life from
3eath!" said the man that got on at
Oak Park, reports the Chicago Times
Herald. "Been reading something?" asked his
seat mate, with a quizzical smile.
"No. Actual experience. Do I look
like a man who nearly died last night?"
"Certainly not-. You're the picture of
health."
"Well, I did. After dinner I laid on
the lounge for a few minutes' rest,
when one of the children slipped a piece
of candy in my mouth. I cracked it with
my teeth and at the same moment
coughed slightly. It was a little cough,
but somehow I drew my breath, and
down went a fragment of candy into my
windpipe.
"The next instant I was strangling.
My wife and children flew around in
distraction, but could give me no relief.
Iy throat puffed out in my efforts to
draw a breath, my face grew ! purple,
and knots of sweat stood out on my
forehead. I suppose that's the way a
drowning man feels. Anyhow, it was
something awful and indescribable."
. "And then the doctor came?"
' "There was no time for the doctor. I
held my head down and coughed, and
the piece of candy was dislodged. I
breathed again. Blessed breath! The
revulsion was something wonderful,
and in two minutes I was myself again.
No, I can't laugh over it yet. I will
never be so near death again until my
end comes, and then I pray to Heaven it
will come some other way."
A LOYAL AMERICAN GIRL.
When the soldier boys left for the
south there was one bright-looking girl
standing on the depot platform, says
the Denver Times. She wore one of the
fashionable hats which appear like a
garden of flowers. As she stood there,
with the tears coursingdown hercheeks,
she saw the other girls burying the
brave boys in literal forests of flowers.
One of. the soldiers stepping up to her
asked:
"Please, may I have one of those flow
ers on your hat?"
She took his hand, and in a voice most
womanly said: "Yes, sir, and may God
bless you."
Then she told them all to come and se
lect a flower from her hat. The boys,
with hands grim and bronzed fromcamp
life, carefully culled them from the
straw frame until they were all gone.
Then she put on what was left of-it, and,
stepping back toward the car, said with
emotion:
"Boys, I wish there were more. I
hope you will come back again, and that
inose Mowers will remind you of the
pleasant scenes of home, and guide you
as your dear old mother would have
taught you to go."
ihere were several girls standiutr close
by who whispered: "I wouldn't ruin
my hat that way," but the wiser heads
remarked: "There is a loyal American
woman God bless her." Denver

FUNERALS IN ARABIA. '"

One of the strangest and most af
fecting sights in an Arab town," says
a Tunis corrrespondent of London
Sketch, "is that of the funerals, which
may be met at any street corner. The
corpse is merely wrapped in a mat of
esparto grass and carried either on a
bier or on men's shoulders. The mourn
ers lounge along, some in front and
some behind, crooning verses of the
Koran in melancholy tones, which haunt
one for days afterward.
"This wailing is, however, nothing to
that which goes on in the house of the
deceased. When I was staying in the
country near Tunis I heard it kept up
during a whole night in a neiirhborinfi'
village, and I can conceive nothing
more desperately depressing than these
strains of lamentation wafted through
me oarKness by the breeze. Mv doe-
stood it even less well than I did and
felt constrained to join in the doleful
chorus until I was half-tempted to put
a bullet through his head. Perhaps the
strangest of all the funerals I saw was
at Bizerta. It was that of a babv. which
was being carried to its grave in an es
parto basket."
IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. ?
Tbie Possibilities Developed in the
Extreme North in Late
Years.
The close of the century discloses for
the first time in the world's history a
practical purpose to develop the re
sources of the Arctic circle, says Les
lie's Weekly. The discovery of gold in
the Klondike has sent a flood of immi
grants into a territory which was sup
posed to be almost uninhabitable. And
now scientists of Great Britain are mak
ing a careful investigation of enormous
deposits of iron ore, some distance from
Stockholm, Sweden, within the area in
cluded in the Arctic circle. These new
ore fields are apparently of limitless
extent and of the greatest possible
value to the iron industry of Great
Britain, which is rapidly finding itself
unable to compete with the cheap prod
ucts of American ore. These Swedish
deposits are said to be among the most
valuable ever discovered on either con
tinent. Following the discovery of gold in
Alaska, this may be taken as an indica
tion that the mineral wealth of the
Arctic regions may ultimately lead to
the establishment of a large population
in those parts of the world nearest the
north pole, which have hitherto been
little explored, because of their inhos
pitable climate. An ingenious philoso
pher has outlined the theory that the
preoious metals of the world will be
found in greatest abundance in the
Arctic regions, because, when the world
was a niolton mass, revolving on its
axis, the tendency of all metals was,
naturally, toward the axis or the poles,
and that when the plastic muss solidi
fied the gold and silver were concen
trated near the poles.

Gladlr Gave the Flowers from Bar

A lady living in an unfashionable
street invited a gentleman of leisurely
life to her home, because in her sim
plicity she thought he seemed lonely,
savs an exchange. He came and at the
close of the evening remarked to her:
"I had no idea I should meet so many
distinguished people at your house " his
voice unconsciously emphasizing the

ple." Mrs. Kate Gannett Wells gives the
following instance of a lack of good
manners:
"Snobbishness is not confined to one
set of people. Emphasized by fashion
or literary pretensions, it spreads from
village to city. It exists in sardine fac
tories and in palatial mansions; it is
met with at picnic3 and dances, aa well
as at dinners or conversation parties,
The links are close.
"One of Boston's oldest families gave
a reception. Two scions of other old
families attended, to whom the host
said: 'I'll introduce you to these ladies
opposite,' and he moved toward them.
" 'Excuse us,' said one of the men,
'the ladies are of a peasant style of
beauty; it is hardly worth while.'
"The host bowed low in recognition
of their far-seeing power, adding: 'Yes,
they are my nieces from the country,
but I will not-trouble you.'
"No apology would he receive, though

EFFECT OF WEATHER ON FISH.
Why Trout Rlae Merrily In the HIdat
of s Storm and Sulk When the .
Water la Quiet. ' .
If trout rise merrily in the very
midst of a storm, why do they invaria
bly sulk when the thunder is only "in
the air?" The explanation is simple,
but it occurred to me only the other
day. says the London Eeview. Trout
eulk when ihe storm is gathering from
the cause which makes men at the clubt
decline to look at the billiard cues dur
ing the same weather. The atmosphere
lacks oxygen, and therefore all sen
tient life is languid. When the light
ning has come the sultriness is dis
pelled; fish and men have something
more cheering than carbonic acid gas
to breathe; both are in a humor for
food or play.
The same reasoning, I think, ex
plains why, as a rule, it is necessary
to bave a ripple if you are to catch
trout. The accepted explanation is
that tbe ripple conceals the casting
line, leaving visible to the fish the flies
alone, but one has only to use one's
eyes to discover that that is no ex
planation at all. Even in a gale, if
there is no sunshine, the gut is as easi
ly visible to the human eye as it would
be in a dead calm, and to what the hu
man eye can see in the water the trout
is surely not quite blind. No; trout
rise in a ripple more rapidly than in a
calm simply because the wind is oxy
genating the water. Whoso doubts
.bis is invited to make an experiment.
Let h:rc put half a dozen live trout into
a pail of water. Within an hour they
will be sickening; some of them will be
near dealh and turning on their backs.
A few quarts of water plunged a yard
or two through the air into the pail
will make all the trout revive as if by
magic. The fish want oxygen just as
the fellows at the club on a sultry aft
ernoon want a thunderstorm or other
stimulant.

A Hampshire clergyman recently re-
jaiea some 01 tne blunders he r-'
heard made in the marriage service
persons of the class who have to pick
up the words as best they can from
hearing- them repeated by others, says
the Weekly Telegraph. He said that in
his own parifh it was quite the fashion
for the man, when giving the ring, to
eay to the woman:
, "With my body I thee wash up, and
with all my hurdle goods, J. thee, and
tlou."
He said the women were generally
better np im this part of the service than
the men.
One day, however, a bride startled
lim by promising, in what she sup
posed to be the language of the prayer
book, to take her husband "to 'ave and
to 'old from this day fortni't for bet
terer horse, for richerer power, in sir
gernesa health, to love cherries, and to
bay."
What meaning- this extraordinary;
tow conveyed to the woman's ow
mind, the incumbent said, it bffla,
him to conjecture. -.
A certain southern congressman was
heard entertaining a company of his
colleagues lately in the democratic
cloakroom of the house with an ac
count of an unusual experience, says
the Washington Post. "During the
woman suffrage convention," he said,
"several ladies from my district were
present. Karly in the convention one
of them came to the capitol, called at
my committee-room and requested an
interview, which was readily granted.
She stated that the woman suffrage
delegates were to have some sort of
public meeting, in which she was to
participate, and requested that I
should provide a floral tribute to be
presented to her on that occasion.
"I was naturally somewhat taken
aback at) the suggestion. I supposed
in the course of my 12 years in con
gress that I had exhausted about every
variety 01 duties tliat a member of the
house is called upon to perform. I
have always been ready and willing to
run errands for my constituents, for
which at home my office boy would
have sufficed. I have catered to the
whims of office seekers. When my con
stituents have come to me hungry, I
have fed them, and when they have
come shelterless I have civen them
lodging, I have taken my political sup
porters to the theaters by hundreds,
but I was forced to inform my lady
visitor that I must draw the line at
bouquets."
