Athena, Okeoon
zens of Pendleton. .
Indians are, as a rule, ' expert
iudaies of horse flesh. On his judg.
ment ot a racer an xnaian. wu
stake every possession he has on
earth and indeed the instances are
rare where his confidence in his
horse has been misplaced. In the
present age on our home resevva
tionthe siwashes' love for racing
horses is only eclipsed by his ar
dent cravings for liquor. Every
summer bands of horses pass
through Athena driven by Indians
from the North. They belong to
the tribes of Nez Perce, Yakimas
and Snakes and represent their
strings of fivers and betting stock
on the wav to the famous tracK ot
the Umatilla's which is laid out
near the agency. Their feats and
horseracinir are indulged in for
days, the dusky denizens of the
North . piling their blankets and
holding white-eyed '. ; cayuses-the
property they wager on some lav
orite-on one side of the track, and
their J opponents, the .Umatillas,
Cavuses and Wallas on the . other
All faces are as solid. and void of
expression as the Drown rocus on
the ' surrounding bill-sides. The
horses RDDear on the lowei , end ot
the track, the word is ' given and
like an arrow shot frorn an Indian
bow, the flying steeds come speeding
down the well-beaten tract, ihe
riders with their long black hair
streaming in the wind, have a weird
and demonic appearance,
All is excitement now. Ihe In
dians.who form the inner lines are
provided with "quirts";and throngs
As the horses pass they are struck
stinging blows, which are laid on
thick and fast to the accompani
ment of glutteral shouts." An In
dian alwavs strikes his favorite
horse, and it is done to force him
to his utmost capacities.
Perhaps there was never a more
successful Indian with race horses
than Winnomsnoot, the old chief ol
the Umatillas, and father of Peo,
their present chief. , .
Bishop Wells, who held the nrst
church services ever held in rena
leton, was present at the exercises
of the anniversary of laying the
corner 3tone of the church of the
Redeemer in that city last Friday,
and among the many incidents
which the Bishoo related was the
following, and it was told only as
a
the Bishop could tell it.
4 .
In 1871. he came to rendieton
and found that there had never
beed held a religious service in the
place, then of 100 or 200 inhabit
ants. He found one lady who was
a communicant, and when the
Sunday school had been organized
not a man was discovered who
would connect himself with it as
superintendent. Consequently a
lady was placed at the head ot the
school.
"The first service was held," re
lated the bishop in the evening at
the reception at the rectory, ''oh
Sunday, the court house being used,
I arrived from WalU Walla on
Saturday afternoon. The notice
had been general, and so a depu
tation of citizens waited on me and
said that, though not churchmen,
thev were interested in the first
service that was to be held in the
town. The gentlemen explained
that all the men bad to go to the
reservation the next day-Sunday-
and see the great annual horseraces,
Thav had great expectations of
winning large amounts of money on
the races and on alonday evening
could do something handsome by
wav of offerings.
"I held the service on Sunday,
however, and 13 women and chikl
ren attended. Another service was
announced for Monday evening,
but the service was a failure. I
may as well tell vou the reason.
' For three years, Winnomsnoot,
father of chief Peo, of the Umatil
las, had won the annual horse races
with his fast lunner, and this year
the white men determined to beat
him. Sending to Portland they
procured a very fast running horse,
supposed to be able to beat any
horse in Eastern Oregon. The
Portland horse was smuggled into
Pendleton and nothing said. The
Sundav came for the races. The
white men bet every dollar they
could find on their important run
ner, and someone stole to Wmnour
snoot's tepee and, gave the run
ning, horse, which, was standing
tied behind it, an opium pill. Then
they , bet their coats and saddle-
horses and saddles and rules and
pistols against the Indians' person
al effects and the time came for the
race. At the appointed hour, Win
nomsnoot threw back the flap of
bis tepee, and there was brought
out a superb specimen of running
6tock which all the time had been
safely hid ; from view. The horse
won every race, and when the
whites came home they had , no
money and not even coats to wear
to church. ' .,
"I learned all these facts in due
time and understood why my Mon
day evening service was so sliraly
attended by the men. ihey hud
tried to outwit old Winnomsnoot
and had themselves been out wit
ted. ;; -iv !, ' ' '
''Those men were not churchmen,
but." said Bishop Wells, "they
were generous hearted and kind to
me and gave liberally to the sup
port of the young parish and the
building of the church building.
"In this connection I will relate
a strange coincidence. , Many years
afterwards, 1 attended a banquet
at the Windsor hotel in New York
city and related the story of the
Sunday horserace. - .As I took my
seat, a gentlemflfn arose from a seat
at a table on the opposite side of
the room arid exclaimed: "I was
at that horserace and I have now
on my stock farm in Kentucky a
horse bread from that mare with
which Winnomsnoot won the race.
Mv father was General Butterfield
and he was stationed in that vicin
ity when the great race took place."

the
Umatilla County People Loose by
Paul Shultze Defalcation.:
It appears that several Umatilla
county people wili suffer loss by
the peculations of the late f aul
Shultze, says the E. 0. Mr. Shultze
wa3 agent of the .Northern 1'acitio
Railway company in the land de
nartment. and to him Jesse Moore
remitted a draft for nearly $200 in
payment for some railroad land be
had purchased. The draft was reg
ularly drawn, sent, cashed and re
turned through the proper chan
nels, and Mr. Moore supposed his
payments was recorded and he had
a corresponding credit on the booics
of the , land department of ihe
Northern Pacific. . ' -i i
It has been discovered that the
money was appropriated to other
uses ana letters are passing , oe
tween Mr. ; Moore and Thomas
Cooper, the present land - agent.
Mr, Cooper has sent a letter re
questing that the orignal draft be
sent for his personal examination.
Mr. Moore is but one of several
residing in Umatilla county who
transmitted money to the Northern
Pacific when Paul bhultze was ag
ent and find now they have no
record of the matter at Tacoma.
The probability is that thousands
of dollars of shortage will yet be
dug up and the total amount be
augmented enormously.
A Wise Hawk. i ' -''
Albany Heraldi Mr. II. M.
Beall. receiver of the Linn Coun
ty Bank, and another gentleman
recently walked over to the excel
sior prune orchard between Albany
and Corvallis. On the way they
saw a large nawK nying-over a
field in serch of prey. A Chinese
pheasant arose and flew away with
such sudden force against a tele
graph wire that it was instantly
killed. Mr. Beall took the bird,
which was plump and fat, and tied
it carefully in a dense bush, in
tending to get it on their return,
but when they came back they
found that the hawk had kept an
eye upon the proceedings and had
hunted out the pheasant and made
a meal of it. It was an intellectual
hawk and, like some people, was
looking for soft snaps.
