a law establishing such institutions in

At Umatiila, Oregon. lately. there was
trouble between two noble red men, one
OF the forest, and one Columbia salmon
eater. 1t seems the forester had bought
end paid for wife. and after having
lived with her for years, this greasy
salmon-eater won her affections. and in
true civilized style they eloped. But
the day of retribution arrived. After q
lively race between the bucks, up one
street and down the other, the two met
in front OF the post Office. both well
blown. The salmon.eater succumbed,
and took very fair horse-whipping, to
the no small amusement of the town
hoodlums, and to the entire satisfaction
OF about twenty noble red men.
