From Indian Agent CornOyer W
learn that last Sunday q number Q
Indians belonging to the Umatill
Indian Reservation got drunk o.
some whiskey they had procure'
from some disreputable white
hanging around the Reserve
Among the number was young In
dian by the mans of Peo, q son O
old Wennamsnoot, the Chief of thu
Umatillas. Being crazed with
liquor, Peo during the night broke
into his fathers house and attacked
the old man with q huge knife, in
fiicting some bad wounds, before
some of the other Indians, attracted
by the disturbance, were able to
stay the fratricidal hand that welded
the deadly weapon. Peo escaped
from those having him in charge
and fled to the hills. Agent Cor
noyer was called, who at once took
steps to capture the fugitive. The
Indians tracked Peo for some dis
tance, but returned and told Mr..
Cornoyer that he would have to
catch Peo, as they did not care
about the job. Mounting his horse
the Agent set out in pursuit, and
the next day overlook the fugitive
on the prairie, and after severe
tussel succeeded, with the assistance
of DR.. Mckay and John Mclean,
in effecting the capture. Peo was
brought to Walla Walla and lodged
in the guard house on Tuesday
night by Major Cornoser. Old
Wennamsnoot is badly cut about the
head and face, aud it is feared that
he will lose an eye. The Indians
are much excited over the affaiI.
The men who sold the liquor to the
Indians have fled from the country.
1t has been two weeks since the
last boat reached Wallula from Ce-
lilo. kilograms received during
the week from the Dalles say that
no boat will be dispatched for Wal
lula until the water goes down and
the railroad portage at that place is
repaired. The water was three
feet deep on the Dalles and Cello
Railroad last Tuesday. Yesterday
morning the report from Wallnla
was that the water had only fallen
four inches in twentv-four hours.|
The total fall SO far i about three
feet. Passengers WHO have come
through from Portland say that at
the Cascades they made the portage
in small boats and on foot, climbing
hills and rocks and walking on tres
tlework. No baggage was carried.
No women or children are taken be-
tween Portland and the Dalles.
Col. Robert Ingersol. of Illinois. in
bis great speech before the Cincinnati
said this about the requi-
site qualifications of President. which
cannot fail to commend itself to every
nan of whatever political faith:
We demand man who will sacredly
oreserve the financial honor of the Uni-
ted States; one who knows enough TO
know that the national debt must be
.,aid through the prosperity Of this pe
pie; one who knows enough to kn. Y
that all the financial theories in th. |
world cannot redeem a single dollar:
me who knows enough to know that ali |
he money must be made, not by law,
brt by labor: one who knows enough to
know that the people of the Uniteo
5tstes have the industry TO make the
money and the honor to pay it over just
.s fast as they make it. The people OF
he United States demand q man who
Knows that prosperity aud resumption.
when they come, must come together.
When Il ey come they will come hand in
hand. Hand in hand through the gold
IN harvest fields; ha' d in hand by the
spindles and the turning
wheels; hand in hand past the open fur
lace doors; hand in hand by the flaming
orges; hand in hano by the chimneys
illed with eager fire. nnd worked and
,rasped by the hands of the counties
IONS of toll. This money has got to be
lug out of the earth. You cannot make
t by passing resolutions in a political
ne citing. The people of the United
'tates want a man who knows that this
should protect every citl-
zen at hcme and abroad one who knows
hat any government that will not de-
end its defenders. and protect its pro
ectors. is a disgrace to the maps of the
World.
