INDIANS IN TROUBLE
urana Konde Redskins Break Into
Sheridan Saloon and Carry
Otf Liquor.
The thirst for "fire water" has been
the downfall of a couple of the natives
of Grande Ronde, and now they are
behind the bars waiting trial with
prospects good for serving a term in
prison.
Thursday night, two Indians,
named Felix Wacheno and Frank
Wacheno were in Sheridan and thirsty.
Some time in the night their thirst
became unbearable and they con
cluded to quench it. To do this they
broke into the saloon of A. Graffe and
carried off eleven bottles of liquor.
Three of these bottles were found on
them at the time of their arrest.
Warrants were sworn out for them
Friday and they were brought before
the Justice of the Peace at Sheridan
and bound over to appear before the
circuit court. The constable brought
them to McMinnville Friday evening
and turned them over to the sheriff
for safe keeping until they can have
their trial. -McMinnville Telephone-Register.
NEVER SAW LEWIS AND CLARK
Famous Explorers Died Many Years
Before Grand Ronde Siwash
Was Born.
There has been undone another
lurid tale of Indian life. It was con
cerning Amos Killear, of the Grand
Konde reservation. Some one com
municated recently with the State
Commission that Amos had been
romping around loose for a trifling
period of 190 years and furthermore
looked enough like an Egyptian
mummy to claim relationship. It
was suggested that Amos ought to be
taken to the Exposition and placed in
a wickiup in the Natural Park, where
the cool zephyrs might play abouthim
as he sat in silent retrospection of the
days when it was not thus. Admiring
throngs might then fight the police in
a wild effort to get a better view of
him.
But it was not to be so. The State
Commission learned a few more
things about Amos, chief among
them being that he is a mere boy, be
ing less than 88 years old, and that
many better mummies could be picked
up on the crowded streets any day in
the week. The tale was dispelled by
Andrew Kershaw, superintendent of
the Grand Ronde Indian School, who
looked the redskin up and interviewed
him. Oregonian.

nection with county exhibits must be
of a uniform pattern. These plates

does not keep a representative in
charge of the same during the period
of the Exposition will be ineligible for
competition for the cash prizes above
mentioned.

mission will take into consideration,
not only the quality and quantity of
the material exhibited, but the manner
in which the exhibit is cared for and
attended. Every county Is expected to
have its exhibit finished and in a pre
sentable condition on June 1st, the
opening day of the Exposition.
UTAH'S PARTICIPATION
State Will Erect Building and Send
Splendid Exhibit to Fair.
Utah has decided to erect a state
building at the Lewis and Clark Ex
position. Such was the conclusion of
the. commission after an inspection of
the Exposition grounds and the selec
tion of a site. The structure will be
ideally located just north of the New
York building and on the slope of
Lakeview Terrace.
It is planned to erect a building 100
feet long and 85 feet wide. The lower
floor will be utilized for exhibition
purposes, while the second story will
be arranged for the reception of
visitors. Fifteen thousand dollars
will be expended for the building. No
difficulty will be experienced in having
the building completed and the ex
hibits installed before opening day,
as the work is to begin this week.
One of the most important features
of the Utah display will be a concen
trator in actual operation, located in
an annex. The concentrator will cost
$10,000 and will be one of the most
novel displays of the entire Fair.
Four men will be required to operate
it. It will show th8 process of re
fining gold, silver and copper from
the time the crude ore is turned in un
til it comes out as refined metal. The
rocks containing the minerals will
first be crushed and then the different
ingredients will be separated, all with
in the view of the visitors to the
Centennial.
MANY DOGS POISONED
Independence Canines Die at
Rate of Six cr Eight a Day.
the
The West Side says that if the dog
poisoner keeps up his deadlv work,
Independence will soon bo a dogless
town. Scarcely a day passes that the
death of six or eight dogs is not re
ported How the poisoner can carry on his
work so persistently and escape detec
tion is something of a wonder. Strych
nine in bologna sausage seems to be
his favorite way of luring-the unsus
pecting dogs to death. Numerous
small pieces of bologna have been
picked up over towc, and upon exam
ination they are found to be split open
and a few grains of strychnine drop
ped in. The poisoner evidently pro
vides himself with the deadly morsels
and throws them Into yards in passing
along the street If kept up, the pois
oning of children will most likely
follow.
Mrs. Jones Our minister says he
is going to change the last part of the
service. Mrs. Knave Does he think
he can improve it? Mrs. Jones No,
but he thinks it's necessary. Instead
of saying, "Let us sing the Doxology,"
he is going to say : "Let us adjust
our clothes, slip on our gloves, grab
our hats, forget all about the Lord,
and be dismissed.

Plate Glass Cracked.
F. L. Chambers & Bro. probably
have had some advice by this time
about the effect of the sun's rays on
glass partially painted black. Their
awning was left up yesterday forenoon
for awhile, and the heat of the sun
being absorbed by the two-foot black
and gilt strip of the sign while above
and below it was not held by the clear
glass, caused unequal expansion, and
the cracking of one of the glasses
aoross its upper corner resulted. While
it Is not a bad break, and will not be
noticed ordinarily, the proprietors
will not forget it Eugene Guard.
