Possible fHdian TrouSle.
PORTLAND, Ogfl., March 4th.-A
few days ago Father Wilbur, Su-
perintendent OF the Yakima In
dian reservation, received orders to
have Chief Moses in readiness to
go with other prominent chiefs
from the Umatilla reservation to
Washington. Moses looked upon
the matter with considerable sus-
picion, thinking it device to get
him to the Indian Territory. To
relieve Moses from any suspicion
Father Wilbur gave him a
furlough of thirty days to visit
his people. Thursday last Moses
I / left left the reservation. He had been
absent about three hours when a
crowd of citizens arrived from va
kima City aud Fort Simcoe at the
agency headquarters, headed by an
officer with u warrant OF arrest for
Moses, the Grand Jury of that
county having found an indictment
against him as an accessory to the
Perkins murders. Moses has gone
direct to his camp beyond Priests
Rapids, and is doubtless aware of
the intent of the people and will
prepare himself accordingly. Any
precipitate action will involve the
country in a relentless and bloody
war. The situation is one OF great
peril and 1t is now looked upon as
almost certain that war with Moses
the and other tribes is inevitable.
