THE HEPPNER HERALD, HEPPNER, OREGON
PAGE FIVE
HEROES OF INDIAN WAUS
William Hendrix, pioneer citizen
of Morrow county and extensive prop
erty owner, as a young man took
part in Indian wars of 1878 and is
considered an authority on the
events of those stirring days.
When in Heppner a week or so
ago Mr. Hendrix promised to send
the Herald a written description of
the locally famous Willow Springs
fight of that campaign but after
reaching home he wrote this offire
that he had mislaid the article and
could not just now put his hands on
it. He did, however, enclose the
following list of men killed and
wounded by Indians in the county.
Killed: Wm. Lamar, H. Hale, E.
B. Nelson, C. L. Jewell, Geo. S. Smith
ivi. Blake, Ernie Campbell, John
Crisp, Geo. Coggan, W. N. KeiU.
E. T. Pratt, Campbell Berry, John !
Vay, Luke Skelly, O. P. McCoy. Jas. j
Myers, Chas. McLaughlin, Thor.
Smith.
Wounded: S. Rothchild, C. R.
Rerlerson, Arthur Christfield, J. V.
Titsworth, J. B. Burnham, S. L.
Lansdon, BYanTc Hannah, H. A.
Saulsbury, H. H. Howell, Jacob Fray.
ier, Al Bunker.
In addition to these, Mr. Hendrix
says, there are a large number
whose names he has not been able
to learn and he would be thankful to
anyone possessing information along
this line to send the names of any
otihers they know either to himself
or to the Heppner Herald.
Mr. Hendrix thinks that at least
50 men were killed or wounded by
Indians in this county and he is anx
ious to compile a complete list of
them.
Printing that pleases. The Heraid.

A rather brief and informal sess
ion of circuit court was held here
last week by Judge Phelps at which
time several applicants for citizen
ship were examined. Those admit
ted at this time were: Thomas O'
Brien, John McNamee, Georgs W.
Lund, of Heppner; Wm. Cunning
ham, of Lena.
The fact that no regular fall term
was held on account of the then pre
vailing epidemic, made it advisable
to call the grand jury together at
this time to consider such cases as
might be brought before that body.
The following true bills were returned:
State vs. Richard Turpin, statu
tory offense. Admitted to bail in
the sum of $2 50.
State vs. Wm, Soukup; assaul.
with dangerous weapon on the per
son of A. D. Sachter. Defendant ap
peared before the court, plead guilty
and was fined $100 and costs.
State vs. C. A. Morey; murder in
second degree. Defendant appeared
and entered plea of not guilty. Trial
set for first day of regular May term.
A complaint against Pat Hart was
investigated and dismissed by the
grand Jury as not a true bill.
The following civil cases were d's-
mlssed on motion pf the plaintiff:
E. R. Minor vs. Harrison Flowers,
et al.
Tlinms, Cress & Co., vs John W,
Johnson.
F. E. Bell vs C. F., J. O., J. O. and

Mr. Stefansson has given one more
proof that almost any part of the
earth yields food for man, and that
it is only for man to find and use it.
Half a century ago any man who
talked of going to the Arctic regions
and living off the country would
have been pronounced insane, but
Mr. Stefansson has done it and re
turned in sound health. Not only
that, he talks of raising great herds
of animals in the Arctic for food,
and the suggestion is supported by
the success with which reindeer are j
bred in Alaska.
Men are still living who remember
when the whole country from the
Missouri river westward far beyond
the Rocky Mountains was considered
an irredeemabde desert, hut1 it now
feeds millions and exports a surplus
to feed millions more. It is not too.
much to say that Begium was "kept
alive by the food of this quondam
"desert." When the French failed
with the Panama canal, many were
disposed to give up the Isthmus as
too naturally pestilential for men of
the northern races, but General Gor-
gas drained the swamps, killed the
mosquitos and taught Americans
how, to live so as to keep healthy.
One result of the peace settlement
which is now being arranged will be
that white men will scatter to many
parts of the world from which tiarr
barism, oppression and disorder have
formerly evcluded them. If they will
use the food which the country of
fers and will observe the general
laws of health, they will be able to
Ive and prosper. They may even Ir
rigate the Sahara desert and make
It habitable. Oregonian.
