!. out during the night on the hills
near town and the guns guarded IN

Quite q number OF ho3ses and barns
have been burned by the Indians
during the week, on the head of
Bear, Birch and Butter Creeks.
Saloons are closed and have been
for the las. week. Sensible during
this Indian excitement. The wealth
er has been excessively hot for sew
eral days past. Everybody is tired
to death and worn out with anxiety
and watching. We have at all times
considered the town Of Pendleton
safe, but have feared the destruction
of the surrounding country. Capt.
Wilson's company of home guards
is composed of about Thirty men who
are armed with needle guns.
WE find the following compli-
mentary allusion to the delegate to
the constitutional convention from
the Third Judicial District. in the
Vancouver Independent: Hon. G.
H. Larrabee, delegate from the
Third Judicial District, is q native
of New York, 81 years of age, and a

He is Democrat, and lawyer OF
fine ability. Was in the Constitu-
tional Convention of Wisconsin; has
been a member Of Congress. has
served ten years on the bench of the
Circuit Court in Wisconsin, and has
good war record. He is public
spirited and full of ambition AID
hope for the future of our north
western commonwealth. He is the
most active member of the conven-

followed in that body is the recog-

old country. Father Mackin has
faithfully served his congregation
here, and his departure will cause
many deep regrets. He has been in
Oregon about q years out Of the
quarter of a century that he has
been in the priesthood, having been
ordained in Ireland in 1858. He

to see him in Oregon again before
he is finally summoned to the altar

1T is stated that Senator Jewell, OF
Umatilla, who was wounded by the
Indians, after L ag brought to Pen
dleton seemed to ue doing we'll, but
suddenly an alarm came that the
hostiIes we're coming to attack the
town. The panic spreal ON all
sides, and from an adjoining build
ing to the one where the wounded
man lay, some panicky fool began
to fire his revolver and frighten the
whole town. Jewell sprang up in
his bed and fell back again. having
burst the ligature of his wound. aad
bled to death III an hour. No Ind
ians eyer came, or thought of CON-
ing.
INDIAN PoLIcY-It will be re-
membered that at the close OF the
Nez Perce campaign number OF
prisoners, as they were called. but
murderers, in fact, were brought to
Vancouver. At that place they
lived we'll until sent back and turn
ed loose in Idaho. According to
the Indians idea they were feasted
and lionized and great characters.
One of these Indians has recently
came to the surface near Lewiston,
where he attempted to murder 1t
Haines and another person. He was
captured and taken to Lewiston,
where he will probably receive his
just dues.
o, YE hYPoCRITEs.- Those senti-
mental, namby pamby persons who
forever groan: ''Lo the poor Ind
ian; he is not treated right" never
say: Lo the poor white man, as he
delves through and over the noun
tains to find a home. Every Indian
in this country could be a million
aire if he would, but he despises
prosperity and hates those who
prosper. They have had and still
have the chance to live comfortably
and not kill themselves by hard Ia
Dor either, but they were born pi-
rates on industry and the sooner
they go where the woodbine twineth
the better for those who are willing
to till the soil and earn their daily
bread in pcace,-W. w Watchma,.
